The author reviews the development of community psychiatric nursing services since the Mental Health Act 1959. In particular, the community services to her own catchment population are discussed, analysed and evaluated. A claim is made that community care is cost-effective and makes a contribution to prevention. It is also agreed that the presence of community psychiatric nurses in the community fosters greater tolerance and acceptance of the mentally sick by the community at large.
