Assertive Community Treatment. In the general population there was support for a specific service model known as Assertive Community Treatment (Xxxxx & Test, 1980). This model was originally developed in the USA and based on intensive case management in the community of people with severe mental illnesses at increased risk of hospitalization and disengagement. The characteristics of ACT included smaller individual caseloads for staff, flexible working with extended hours and community visits and help with daily living, with the multidisciplinary team being the source of skills as far as possible rather than providing brokerage with other agencies. The model was associated in early studies in the USA with a range of beneficial outcomes including reduced in- patient care and loss to follow-up and improved social functioning (Xxxxx & Xxxx, 1980, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 1998). However UK research studies did not find the model of Assertive Community Treatment to be as strikingly effective compared to standard services as the initial USA studies had been (Xxxxx, 2000a; Xxxx & Xxxxx, 2005, Killaspy et al. 2006). It has been argued that one reason why this model appeared so successful initially was that, compared to the UK, community mental health services in the USA had been very underdeveloped up to its introduction (Tyrer, 2000a). Even though the extent of the benefits of Assertive Community Treatment in the UK has been controversial (Killapsy et al. 2006) the use of 'assertive outreach' teams using several features of the original model has been UK Government policy (Department of Health, 2001).
