1. Numbers and the Assembling of a Community Mental Health Infrastructure in Postsocialist China
This chapter shows how globally validated epidemiological estimates have constituted a population of seriously mentally ill patients in China. It talks about the target population of the 686 Program and compares the program's different visions. It also discusses how national and local interests translate estimates into program targets and evaluation standards. The chapter explains how the numbers' circulation in existing bureaucratic pathways can generate controversies of “quota apportioning.” It covers what the numerically guided community mental health infrastructure might include or exclude and when it might work or break down. The data for the chapter draw on ongoing ethnographic research on community mental health in China.
