Closure of asylums and institutions for the mentally ill, coupled with government policies focusing on reducing the number of hospital beds for people with severe mental illness in favor of providing care in a variety of nonhospital settings, underpins the rationale behind care in the community. A major thrust toward community care has been the development of community mental health teams.
