Home Treatment for Acute Mental Disorders: An Alternative to Hospitalization de David S. Heath

Home Treatment for Acute Mental Disorders: An Alternative to Hospitalization

Autor David S. Heath
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 noi 2004
In the U.S., when a patient is in need of rigorous psychiatric care, the first step is hospitalization. However, elsewhere in the world, psychiatric home treatment is proposed as an alternative. Model programs in Canada and the United Kingdom are publicly administered by community health agencies or teaching hospitals. Home Treatment  for Acute Mental Disorders provides a review of the literature on home care and describes working programs around the world. This timely volume reviews treatment plans for different disorders with case illustrations, explains the administration of a PHC program and offers guidelines to case workers. It will be of interest to psychiatrists and policy makers working on the issue of patient hospitalization.

Recenzii

"This book will appeal to clinicians and program planners for its practical guidance in treating individuals with acute mental disorders in a humane and cost-effective way. It is one of the best practitioner's handbooks I've seen on this topic. Chock full of case examples drawn from the author's site visits and extensive experience as a clinician and administrator, it meticulously documents the important role that mobile home treatment can play in a mental health system. As the trend toward psychiatric hospital closings continues in the US, I am amazed that this promising model has been seldom rigorously studied over the last decade." -- Gary R. Bond, Chancellor's Professor of Psychology, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis
"With Home Treatment for Acute Mental Disorders, Dr. Heath provides a wonderful compendium of the international science and the practical application of a level of care that many have been fortunate enough to participate in."-- from the foreword by Anita S. Everett, M.D., Senior Medical Advisor, Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA); Community Psychiatrist, Johns Hopkins University
"The book is generally a good introduction to the origins and philosophy of community-based treatment for the seriously mental ill. The work is well intentioned and generally well written. Those who desire a practical guide for the establishment and daily operation of a particular service program would be well served by using this volume as a guide." -- Michael B. Blank & Marlene M. Eisenberg; PsycCRITIQUES/APA
"Home Treatment for Acute Mental Disorders, by David Heath, is a text that will appeal to readers from a variety of disciplines in mental health care, as well as to clients and their family members interested in increasing their fund of knowledge about available treatment options." Kathleen A. Clegg, M.D. in Psychiatric Services, Vol. 57:1665.

"...David S. Heath succeeds in delivering a comprehensive review of Mobile Crisis Home Treatment (MCHT), an efficacious community psychiatric treatment model, developed as an alternative to in-patient hospital care. This is the first book to provide a step-by-step approach to implementing the MCHT program in the community. As such, this text is an excellent resource for anyone currently examining alternative treatments for acute psychiatric patients in the community. By providing sufficient, understandable information and examples, practitioners, mental health policy makers and planners, and students can learn about this program, examine its critical elements, and observe how it has been applied in a number of "real world" settings. Having been employed in both crisis work and on ACT teams, and having set up similar programs, I felt that this book rang true. It is an accurate depiction of what it takes to implement and sustain a new innovative program in an existing mental health system.  For all these reasons, this book is a must read for anyone interested in implementing Mobile Crisis Home Treatment."
-Kraig J. Knudsen, in Community Mental Health Journal
