Drawing on economic and organizational theory to structure a whole system of care that is responsive to the whole persons and accountable to society, this second article in a two-part series on integrating the systems and services used by mentally disordered offenders presents an alternative integration strategy. It attempts to maximize integration potential and minimize implementation costs through a single ownership model of systems and services integration--a “new” holistic approach. This approach has the potential to reduce categorized services and offer new opportunities to develop a unified and stable system of specialized care and improve effectiveness and efficiency through a well-balanced and integrated investment strategy. The article discusses the limitations of the holistic approach’s performance and outcomes and includes: (1) building cooperation among public systems; (2) setting appropriate eligibility and discharge criteria; (3) resource constraints; and (4) unrealistic expectations.
