Publisher's Note
Does the timely treatment of mental illness result in a drop in the cost of health care, and if so, what is the cost effectiveness? This study provides an overview, synthesis, and analysis of the medical offset effect. The book begins with the historical and structural evolution of the mental health industry since World War II, then reviews medical offset literature. The behavioral model is followed by an empirical analysis and the book concludes with a general analytical framework for the development of a national mental health policy in light of the significant medical offset effect.

Industry Reviews
Providers of mental health services have long asserted that money spent on psychological evaluation and treatment is offset partially, if not entirely, by savings in the public health sector. Although this alleged phenomenon, the medical offset effect, has been studied for two decades, there is nothing approaching a consensus about whether or not such an effect exists. This book (based on an NIMH study) is for treatment providers, as well as analysts in insurance companies and government agencies. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
