The majority of studies related to the needs of individuals with psychiatric disabilities focus on their meeting with the traditional mental health system. Environmentally relative conceptions of disability have only shown limited success in expanding the views of the field of community psychiatry to include social and organisational contexts. Swedish disability policy emphasises the individual's ability to participate in community life and may therefore be said to reflect a social approach to disability, in contrast to an exclusively medical perspective that focuses on deficits and the individual's need for psychiatrically defined services. In this study, inventories of need for people with psychiatric disabilities were completed for three municipalities. Results indicated that these individuals resist psychiatrically defined categories as they seek supports based on their own experiences of need in the community.
