Social psychiatry

The increasing shift of psychiatric treatment and rehabilitation from the clinic to the community requires not only psychiatric knowledge but also comprehensive competencies in psychosocial support. With the updated second edition of their successfully introduced book, Ilse Eichenbrenner and Jens Clausen present the foundations, current guiding principles, and areas of action in the community psychiatric context in a practical manner. Students and newcomers from the fields of social work, psychology, special education, occupational therapy, and nursing science, as well as all professionals in the psychiatric field, gain a solid understanding of the target groups, disorders, and treatment methods of social psychiatry. This book also addresses individuals with psychiatric experiences and their relatives.
