Community-Based Mental Healthcare for Psychosis: A New Approach

By Peter Dierinck

This groundbreaking book delves into the necessity and successful organization of community mental health teams that provide in-home care and treatment for individuals experiencing mental health difficulties, particularly those suffering from psychosis.

With a focus on community-based care and democratic psychiatry, the book presents two pivotal paradigm shifts required to bring mental healthcare directly into the community. The first shift involves moving away from a biomedical diagnostic approach, recognizing those in need of care as members of the public rather than just patients. The second shift emphasizes providing support for the community environment, its families, friends, and neighbors, to foster a culture of compassion, empathy, and respect for differences.

Through clinical case material, anthropological and phenomenological methods, and personal experience in community-based care, Peter Dierinck introduces new models for sheltered housing and innovative ways for struggling individuals to secure paid work within a community system.

Community-Based Mental Healthcare for Psychosis is essential reading for psychiatric professionals, clinicians, social workers, caregivers, and all mental health professionals looking after psychiatric patients with complex care needs.
