The phase diagram of the self-charging model of an array of resistively shunted junctions is calculated in the mean-field approximation, using the functional integral formulation. The dissipation tends to diminish the effects of the charging energy U-italic on the phase boundary: The degree of reentrance decreases and the boundary approaches the classical (V-italic = 0) limit as g-italic..-->..infinity.
