This theoretical paper argues that the evolution of community mental health, as both a concept and a movement, is a function of social history. Furthermore cross-cultural differences in social history are seen as best explaining differences between the Americas in the relative speed and nature of the development of community mental health. Pertinent social history factors in the United states, Ontario (Canada), and Colombia (South America) are presented as providing some evidence for the validity of the paper's thesis. Finally, a universal developmental sequence model is discussed and depicted in figure form. The implications for future developments in community mental health are briefly discussed in the context of the model.
这篇理论性论文认为，社区心理健康作为一个概念和一项运动，其演变是社会历史的一种作用。此外，社会历史中的跨文化差异被视为最能解释美洲地区在社区心理健康发展的相对速度和性质方面存在差异的原因。文中呈现了美国、安大略省（加拿大）和哥伦比亚（南美洲）的相关社会历史因素，为该论文论点的有效性提供了一些证据。最后，讨论了一个通用的发展序列模型，并以图表形式呈现。在该模型的背景下，简要讨论了对社区心理健康未来发展的影响。
