Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Psychiatric rehabilitation helps people with serious mental illness to “be successful and satisfied in the living, working, learning, and social environments of their choice” (Anthony WA, Farkas MD, 2012). Psychiatric rehabilitation has demonstrated significant positive effects on hospitalization rates, symptoms, and social aspects of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and autism spectrum disorder.
Psychiatric rehabilitation includes cognitive remediation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, social skills training, stigma reduction, family support, supported housing, and supported employment. These interventions are now recommended in most guidelines. However, they are not widely used in routine clinical practice, and not all patients have access to a comprehensive evaluation. Cognitive impairment, difficulties in functional outcome, difficulties in social integration and employment are still under-evaluated, and the care offered remains insufficient. Accordingly, this special issue seeks empirical and practical studies, considering all psychosocial rehabilitation techniques to promote recovery.
