Time period | Development summary |

1970s | ACT is first developed during the early 1970s in Madison, Wisconsin by a group of clinicians at Mendota State Hospital who believe that persons with severe mental illness should be given the opportunity to live in the community by receiving intensive treatment, rehabilitation, and support there, rather than on long-term mental hospital wards.[1]. The approach subsequently spreads throughout the United States, especially in the Midwest.[2] |
1980s | A tension between ACT as a possible model for all persons with mental illness and the need to focus ACT development on the most costly and difficult to treat populations remains in the decade.[3] |
