Abstract

Purpose: The field of psychiatry has conventionally employed a medical model in which mental health disorders are diagnosed and treated. However, the evidence is amassing that using a strengths-based approach that promotes wellness by engaging the patient's assets and interests may work in synergy with the medical model to promote recovery. This harmonizes with the patient-centered care model that has been promoted by the Institute of Medicine.

Methods: The article uses a clinical case to highlight the attributes of a strength-based model in the psychiatric treatment of adolescents.

Results: Outcome metrics from a number of studies have demonstrated enhanced youth and parent satisfaction and decreased use of hospital level of care with the implementation of strengths-based therapeutic modalities.

Implications: Incorporating strengths-based interventions into conventional psychiatric practice provides a multi-faceted treatment approach that promotes recovery in children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders.

强调积极:基于优势的青少年治疗。

目的:精神病学领域传统上采用诊断和治疗精神健康障碍的医学模式。然而，越来越多的证据表明，采用以优势为基础的方法，通过调动病人的资产和利益来促进健康，可能与促进康复的医学模式协同工作。这与医学研究所提倡的以病人为中心的护理模式相协调。方法:本文通过一个临床案例来强调基于力量的模式在青少年精神治疗中的属性。结果:来自许多研究的结果指标表明，实施基于优势的治疗模式后，青少年和家长的满意度有所提高，医院护理水平的使用率有所降低。启示:将基于优势的干预纳入传统的精神病学实践提供了一种多方面的治疗方法，可以促进患有精神疾病的儿童和青少年的康复。
