Attempt at a clarification].","authors":"L Ciompi","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Related presumably to its heterogenous historical roots, the term \"social psychiatry\" is understood in divergent ways. The purpose of the present article is a clarification of its definition and contents on the base of current praxis in Switzerland and elsewhere. In the framework of a comprehensive psycho-socio-biological understanding of the psyche, social psychiatry is defined as the domain of psychiatry which tries to understand and treat psychiatric disturbances in close relation with their social environment. Its main focus is in the community, where a whole range of innovative half-way institutions and therapeutic-rehabilitative methods have been developed during the last 10-20 years. They are mainly indicated for patients suffering from disturbances of intermediate severity who no longer need continuous hospitalisation, but generally overtax the possibilities of private psychiatrists and traditional ambulatory services. The relative specificity of social-psychiatric approaches, research questions, therapeutic methods, infrastructures, targeted populations and community-related organisation of care speaks for a further systematic development of social psychiatry on the practical, and especially also on the academical level. This is also indicated from the economical point of view, because community-centered methods of treatment are considerably less expensive than full-time hospitalisations, according to recent cost-benefit -evaluations.</p>","PeriodicalId":30134,"journal":{"name":"Swiss Archives of Neurology and Psychiatry","volume":"145 2","pages":"7-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18533454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore results from clinical psychopathological research as well as from experimental studies are presented. Introductory remarks consider problems of this task that arise from the missing consistent definition of perception and the manifold classifications of affective disorders. Phenomenology and anthropological interpretations of the disturbed time- and space-experience are the main topic. Among the alterations of the subjective time-experience disturbances of \"erlebnisimmanente\" time and reference to the future (according to Straus and v. Gebsattel) are of special importance. Up to now studies on the time estimation of depressive patients that can be located at the interface between phenomenologically deducible subjective and experimentally determinable objective time-experience have shown different results.--The detailed description and analysis of the disturbed space-experience goes back to Tellenbach, who demonstrates applicable structures for this as well as consequences for the existential determination of life.--Furthermore disturbances of self-perception in patients with depressive disorders and their alienation of the perceptual world in its wholeness are demonstrated. The discussion of the so far reported results takes special account of their diagnostic value and calls for clinical and experimental procedures first of all at continuing the differentiated and by means of replication studies substantiated apprehension of perceptual disturbances.</p>","PeriodicalId":30134,"journal":{"name":"Swiss Archives of Neurology and Psychiatry","volume":"145 6","pages":"5-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18539539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
