Reviewed the article by Bond et al., and suggested that the perspective used to frame the issues distorts the nature of the problems we currently face in mental health policy. The conventional evaluative frame is no longer useful in the "inclusionary" system of care that operates. Researchers should study lives, placing programs in the background and putting the person in the foreground.
