Abstract

During the last decade there has been a shift in the focus of mental health research and an increased number of publications in professional journals describing research efforts. There is an increase in the proportion of investigations devoted to biological factors and into the etiology of psychiatric disorders and a decreased emphasis on psycho-behavioral research and research concerning management of psychiatric disorders. There is a significant increase in the sophistication of mental health research. These changes have important and encouraging implications for administrations of mental health programs.
