Abstract
The psychiatric reform in 1978 assigned the regions the task of implementing community mental health (MH) services; 30 years on in Italy, there are as many MH systems as there are Italian regions and all completely differentiated. Three Italian regions (Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and Campania) in different geographic areas are here chosen as representing three different models of community care implementation as well as certain similarities and differences at a regional level. For each region, the article focuses on MH policy, financing, the network of community health facilities, service provision, MH staff, and the information system.Entities:
