The impact of managed mental health care on women
1Oakwood Healthcare System, Ann Arbor, USA.
By 1995, 108 million Americans were enrolled in managed care mental health programs. Managed care is likely to have a differential impact on women, as indicated by epidemiologic patterns, psychodynamic theory, and data from outcome and cost studies. The challenge of providing compassionate, confidential, and effective care within a budget can be solved by a combination of new treatment methods, better focused managed care interventions, and legislation.
