Although community mental health teams (CMHTs) have become the main vehicle for coordinating health and social care for people with severe and long-term mental health problems, little research exists on their management. This paper reviews the available literature with reference to the wider literature on innovation and organisational behaviour and examines strategies for improving CMHT management at macro and team level. The challenges of researching the topic are described with recommendations for further research based on social constructivist theorising and triangulated methodology.

Recently commentators and clinicians have been challenging the robustness of the Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) model. Managers have also become increasingly sceptical about the utility of the traditional, generic CMHT which attempts to combine assessment, care planning and review with service delivery, such as crisis response, assertive outreach, continuing care and primary care liaison and counselling. This case study presents the process of outcome of a strategic review of mental health services in East Yorkshire which may look beyond the CMHT as the preferred way forward.
