The incarceration of mentally ill persons has become a major problem in our nation's jails -- most of which are ill-equipped to provide the required diagnosis and treatment. |
Abstract:
|
In this 'Journal' forum, Mark Pogrebin reviews the literature describing the problem, and asks for more involvement of mental health professionals in finding appropriate solutions. Charles J. Meyers, in excerpts from a speech he delivered to the Western Psychological Association, describes one county's solution to the problem. (Author abstract) |
