3 The importance of the out-clinic provision of medical care and psychosocial training The meaning of integrated service provision In Germany Social-Psychiatry is the term for a certain kind, of giving professional support to people with mental health problems or mental illness. Very important to this process is the integrated approach. The human being in his individual situation takes centre stage. His personal way of living and his individual needs are incorporated in all considerations for support. For example, this includes areas like family relationships, integration into employment or participation in community life. 3

4 The importance of the out-clinic provision of medical care and psychosocial training The meaning of integral service provision In humanistic psychology following areas are constituents of human identity. Work and ability If the balance between this constituents is permanently disturbed or only single ones exist, people develop mental health problems or psychosmatic illnesses. Social education and personal qualities Mentally stable personality Material secureness This means on the other hand, as we do not take all these areas into consideration in the rehabilitation of people with mental health problems, they will not recover again.

7 Planning and monitoring of reintegration into society The planning of individual support Every patient is different (in age, gender, socialisation etc.). Even patients with the same dignosis need different support. Do we as professionals know what kind of help a patient really needs? Does a patient exactely knows what is good for him? Therefore the planning of individual support has to be a cooperation between patient and the professional system. Together they are be able to find out what kinds of support responds to the client s individual needs and requirements. The goal of individual help planning is to empower the patient. To give him the support he really needs and to keep him as responsible and as autonomous as he can. 7

8 The process of planning the individual help Important parts of individual planning are: - habitation, living - education, training, work - social participation - recreation - health In this context the following questions have to be considered: - What interests, abilities and resources are already available? - What kind of deficits are present? - What specific support can be given to work on these deficits?

9 Possible cooperation in planning and monitoring of reintegration process Post clinical treatment, medical attandence and psychosocial training have to be individuell planned. Basically and essentially, all organisations which are involved in metal health care have to generate a system of planning individual support. This should be a cooperation between the Department of Health, Department of social welfare, the University, the Psychiatric Hospital, the Dispensary and all out-clinic treatments. The above mentioned institutions organise the Community Psychiatric Conference. 9

12 Planning and monitoring the reintegration process Correlation between patient and his professional attendant The relationship between patient and his professional attendant is one of the most important facts of the healing process in all out-clinic services. The attendant must be able to communicate in an open and clear way. He must be open - minded, as well as to be able to accept existing diversity and to handle conflicts. After all, he has to be a role model for social behavior. 12
