Abstract: Community psychiatry is well developed in many western countries. However, this psychiatric subspecialty has only recently been officially recognized and estab lished in Hong Kong. This article describes the development and current scope of services. It illustrates how local psychiatrists have met the challenge of adopting a western service model to suit the local Chinese population, with its different socio- cultural value system.
