Special Section on Involuntary Outpatient Commitment: Introduction
Author(s): Marvin Swartz, John Monahan
Publication Date: 2001
In almost every community in the United States, there is a troubling population of severely mentally ill individuals who are ineffectively served by resource-poor community mental health programs.

They frequently, and often unsuccessfully, interact with many other services and agencies—substance abuse treatment...

Violence by People With Mental Illness: A Consensus Statement by Advocates and Researchers
Author(s): John Monahan, Joanne Arnold
Publication Date: 1996
The authors contend that the public perception that mental illness is strongly linked to violence is the most damaging stereotype faced by the mental health community. Recently, epidemiological research on violence among people with mental illness has become available for the first time. Concerned that misuse of the new research could exacerbate an already distorted public view, a group of researchers and advocates produced a Consensus Statemen...
