Abstract

The authors describe the context preceeding the planning, implementation and development of the Hospital Fernando Fonseca’s department of psychiatry, enphasising the general values and principles supporting a markedly communitary department. They underline the way relationships with primary care and other health and social institutions in the community were established and tightened. The department’s current structure, the projects already under develo‐ pment and, finally, those to be developed in the future are described.
