[Psychiatric rehabilitation].

The author presents a brief account of the development of psychiatric rehabilitation during the past two centuries. He draws attention to new trends in rehabilitation of the mentally sick during the post-war period and at present. He describes the system of rehabilitation in the Soviet Union which began to develop as a results of efforts in the Bekhterev Institute in Leningrad. In our country the law on social security in 1964 created conditions for protected workshop and protected work places. In 1973 methodical instructions of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs issued instructions which specified the principles of planning, establishment and operation of these facilities. At the end of 1986 the Ministry of Health CSR issued an amendment to the concept of psychiatry which contains the organization of psychiatric rehabilitation not only in in-patient but in particular in out-patient psychiatric facilities.

[Psychiatric care under the new conditions].

The authors discuss the foreseen development of psychiatry under new conditions. They assume a new administrative set-up of the country, the introduction of health insurance and the establishment of a medical chamber (equivalent of Royal Colleges). In ambulatory care they assume that the hitherto existing policlinical system will be replaced by independently working specialists. In addition a part will be played also by specialized ambulatory psychiatric care in psychiatric in-patient institutes and in semimural institutions (psychiatric day sanatoria, therapeutic workshops etc.). Psychiatric in-patient treatment still is concentrated in psychiatric sanatoria. It is, however, necessary that they should be legally independent and change their working style. They must apply humane and social principles and get rid of control work and repressive approaches; hospitalization should be only voluntary. At the same time social control is necessary as well as collaboration with charitative and religious organizations and new developing, independent initiatives. Another prerequisite of these changes is revision or amendement of some contemporary legal provisions.
