According to Janet Blenner, project di– rector, and assistant professor, the program will focus on long-term, preventive outpa– tient therapy to help break. the "revolving door" phenomenon that occurs when psy– chiatric patients are placed in institutions, discharged, then given too brief a period of outpatient counseling.
