This paper defends the track record of CPNs and argues that they have grasped opportunities to develop innovative interventions with a wide range of client groups--despite having to operate in services lacking in overall coordination. It does not rule out a refocussing of services on people with enduring and severe illnesses, such as schizophrenia, but stresses that this strategy will be successful only if community-based nurses are given adequate levels of resources.
本文为社区精神病护士（CPNs）的工作记录进行辩护，并指出尽管他们需要在缺乏整体协调的服务环境中开展工作，但仍抓住机会为广泛的客户群体开发创新干预措施。文章并不排除将服务重点重新转向患有持续性严重疾病（如精神分裂症）的人群，但强调只有在为社区护士提供充足资源的情况下，这一策略才能取得成功。
