-
The emergence of quality of life as an essential criterion in
the assessment of health care interventions

The growing awareness of the influence of stigma on shaping the
long-term course of severe mental disorders
-
The enhanced role of advocacy groups in providing information,
advice and support to sufferers
This

health workers, managers and policy makers.
