Popis: The mental health services in Pakistan are still at the elementary level. There are only a few mental hospitals to look after the psychiatric needs of the country. The discharged patients from the mental hospitals find great difficulty in rehabilitating themselves in the community, particularly when the period of hospitalization has been long. This article discusses a new approach in psychiatric rehabilitation which is relevant to the needs of developing countries.
