A study of two strategies of case management Community Treatment Teams (CTTs) and Intensive Case Management Teams (ICMTs). Analysis revealed that although the CTTs engaged in more case management activities, there were few significant differences in the outcomes of the two approaches. The results are discussed in relation to a possible "ceiling effect" of case management, cost effectiveness, and limitations in the sample.

Managing mental illness in the community is an anxiety provoking business. Yet the legislative emphasis on business management and rapid re-structuring both creates anxiety in workers and carers and appears to devalue those traditional psychotherapeutic skills which facilitate the containment of anxiety. Anxieties that are put out of mind (not contained) have damaging and dangerous consequences for carers, users, and members of the public. Describes a ten-week workshop with the task of providing a safe, constructive setting where the anxieties generated by community care of the adult mentally ill could be identified, addressed and thought about.
