Abstract
The author examines criteria of adequacy for mental health services. T wo methods of service delivery are described and evaluated using these criteria. A nonstandard method which systematically uses marketing pr inciples, treatment outcome research, data-generating service, and eco nomies of scale offers significant advantages over more conventional m ethods of mental health service delivery.
