Provides an overview of the current and future role of the 'medical model' within mental health care, seeking to locate it within the panoply of models available to explain mental health and illness and assess its merits. It considers its future role and proposes a way forward through synthesis and integration. The implications of this analysis for policy and services are assessed, concluding that we have only just started to think through the process of modernising mental health care using an integrative model.
