“…Further, the German system is characterized by a rather flawed integration of in-patient-services with out-patient and a broad spectrum of rather different psychosocial institutions [10, 11]. Usually, the German system is described to be fragmented [10].…”

BackgroundFlexible and integrative treatment (FIT) models are rather novel in German mental health care. This study aimed at identifying and evaluating empirically based, practicable, and quantifiable program components that describe the specific treatment structures and processes of German FIT models.MethodsA multi-step, iterative research process, based on Grounded Theory Methodology (GTM), was used to identify and operationalise components. A complex algorithm and expert-interviews were applied to quantify the relative weight of each component and to develop a sum score. Face and content validity were examined and internal consistency was tested by Cronbach’s α coefficient.ResultsTen of eleven FIT components could be operationalised, quantified and united in the total score. All operationalised components showed sufficient face and content validity and eight components had a good reliability.ConclusionsThe components are a first step in the process of operationally defining German FIT models. They considerably overlap with various critical ingredients of international FIT models and may serve as a theoretical basis for constructing fidelity tools and research guides to enable process and outcome evaluation of German FIT models.

“…In 1888 more than half of the total population in insane asylums in the Netherlands left labeled cured (Cahn, 1970, p. 33). Research into the files of three representative asylums in the Netherlands showed that in the first part of the 20th century more than a third of the patients left the asylums in a ''bettered'' condition (Vijselaar, 2010, p. 335) or cured (Gijswijt-Hofstra, 2005).…”

“…Historiographically, it has been tied to the rise and power of international health organisations, the pursuit of progress and modernity within psychiatry, and the need of psychiatry to reform and unify in the face of various crises since the 1950s. 40 This book adds an additional perspective-that of shared challenges facing psychiatrists in developing countries, which stimulated debate on new ways to organise mental health services, and which directly fed into the development of WHO policy.…”

Psychiatry and Decolonisation in Uganda

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over three days, the participants considered the roles of psychiatrists in developing countries, the size and scope of psychiatric institutions, problems of stigma and outdated legislation, alternative forms of care, the use of auxiliary health workers and postgraduate training. They attended the opening of an exhibition of paintings of mental patients organised by the Uganda National Association for Mental Health (NAMH) and took advantage of the opportunity to socialise and exchange ideas-an opportunity that was highly welcome for those psychiatrists who worked single-handedly in their own countries. 1 The discussions made it clear that there was no one vision for the future of mental health care in Africa. While some participants argued that existing mental hospitals, inherited from colonial rule, needed to form the basis of a 'modern' mental health care system on the grounds of economic and administrative efficiency, others were more cautious, highlighting cases of 'social catastrophe' or stigmatisation following admission. A few went so far as to demand the closure of mental hospitals altogether, CHAPTER 1 Introduction
