psychiatric social work  

Definición

  • From the development of voluntary aftercare services in the 19th century to the multidisciplinary community mental health team of the late 20th century, psychiatric social work has performed a key support role in the expansion of mental health services beyond the institution. Yet as the community has emerged as the main site for care of those with mental health problems, psychiatric social workers, trained in the social sciences, have found themselves increasingly at odds with medically trained psychiatric workers over philosophies of care and treatment.
