Abstract

From its inception in 1963, the mental health service at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx was hailed as an innovative and creative program. Then, in 1969, issues of community participation forced changes in the program's administration, as local groups demanded a voice in the operations. The author describes some of the steps taken to meet those demands, outlines some of the problems still remaining, and poses questions about what community control entails.
