Abstract
The Community Mental Health Empowerment Model is based on a framework of assumptions and principles supported by a significant body of literature. Research outlined in this chapter touches upon issues of social class, ethnicity, and mental health; underserved and inadequately served population groups; community support systems; competency and power; and community and professional roles. While it is not intended to be a review of all pertinent literature in these areas, the summary here demonstrates that the assumptions underlying the authors’ model are logically based on previous work.
