Description

This document looks at redefining the role of psychiatry and psychiatric institutions concerning their therapeutic and rehabilitation function, social function, organization, financing and inter-sector cooperation. This also means abandoning the concept of psychiatric hospital, as an archaic institution of social exclusion, stigma and violation of human rights, and a gradual transfer towards provision of mental health services in the community.
