Kupers' comment on the cyclical nature of the recent history of mental health in the United States is important and hopeful. Another dimension of the current public mental health scene is the decrease of the federal role in the overall system. This role has been a critically important one in the recent past. Hopefully, it will be restored to its full capacity as the country strives for a balanced system of mental health care for all its citizens.
库珀斯对美国近期心理健康史的周期性本质所做的评论既重要又给人以希望。当前公共心理健康状况的另一个方面是联邦政府在整个体系中作用的减弱。在最近过去的时间里,这一作用一直至关重要。但愿随着国家努力为全体公民建立一个平衡的心理健康护理体系,它将恢复到其全部能力状态。
