Abstract
In South Africa the psychiatric care system is in the process of movin g from the traditional hospital/urban/specialist mode of delivery to a primary health care approach. While this change is embedded in greate r social change and is eminently sensible, it is fraught with difficul ties and needs careful thought to keep it oil track.
