The history of community mental health treatment and rehabilitation for persons with severe mental illness

Robert E Drake et al. Community Ment Health J. 2003 Oct.

Abstract

The authors review the evolution of the treatments for persons with severe mental illnesses over the past 40 years in three areas: pharmacological and other somatic treatments, psychosomatic treatments, and rehabilitation. Current treatments are based on a much stronger evidence base, are more patient-centered, and are more likely to target autonomy and recovery.
