[Models of community-based psychiatric care in Italy and England].

The Aim Of The Study: Is to study and compare models of out-of-hospital psychiatric care in different countries-Italy and England.

Unlabelled: In the Italian model of community-based psychiatric care, institutions have been created - homes for permanent residence with a security regime (REMS), the most common of which are intensive (or assertive) treatment in the community and mandatory outpatient treatment. The form of intensive treatment is an active and long-term maintenance and treatment of patients. The essence of the methodology is to provide assistance at home, which is carried out by specially trained multidisciplinary teams, including psychiatrists, nurses, psychologists, social workers. However, in the long term, there is a tendency to increase relapses and acute conditions. The English model of community psychiatric care is based on the practice of the method of «individual case management». After the acute attack is stopped, the main work program includes work with a psychologist and/or a psychotherapist in the form of a number of multidimensional group and family therapy activities, training of social skills and ways of independent living, development of communication, self-esteem and confident behavior, which is achieved through psychocorrective work, as well as drug therapy and didactic training on appropriate simulators.

Unlabelled: Special attention is paid to social recovery, work with the family, social and labor recovery and instrumental support.
