Person-Centered Psychiatric Rehabilitation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Over the past thirty years, Psychiatric Rehabilitation has become an integral part of overall mental health service delivery for individuals with psychiatric disabilities, and in particular those with serious psychiatric disabilities. Although it has become a common service, it remains little understood. Person-Centered Psychiatric Rehabilitation (PCPR) is an evolution of the field of Psychiatric Rehabilitation. This evolution has occurred in the context of the emerging framework of recovery and as such, incorporates the central values of person orientation, choice, partnership, and hope, in its methodology for helping individuals choose, get, and keep a valued role in society. The methodology involves helping the person to develop the requisite skills and environmental supports needed to achieve his or her preferred role. As such, it mirrors international developments in Person-Centered Medicine, which also focuses on a comprehensive approach to working with the perspective of the individual as the main driver of the work. Different parts of the world focus on different aspects of helping individuals attain their ‘life project.’ The emphasis in two areas of the world, (i.e. Latin America, Eastern Europe) is discussed as examples.

This article is based in part on work that was supported, in part by the HHS—National Institute of Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (within ACL), and Substance Abuse Administration, Center for Mental Health Services RRTC on Individuals with Serious Psychiatric Disabilities 1979–2015. The contents of this chapter do not necessarily represent the policy of NIDILRR, ACL, SAMHSA, HHS, nor imply endorsement by the US Federal Government.
