Abstract:

Until the beginning of the 19th century, psychiatric patients did not receive specialized treatment. The problem that was posed by the presence of psychiatric patients in the Santas Casas de Misericórdia and the social pressure from this issue culminated in a Decree of the Brazilian Emperor, D. Pedro II, on July 18, 1841. The “Lunatic Palace” was the first institution in Latin America exclusively designed for mental patients. It was built between 1842 and 1852 and is an example of neoclassical architecture in Brazil, located at Saudade Beach in the city of Rio de Janeiro. In the 1930s and 1940

Abstract:

The College library is continuing with its project to photograph some of the large old psychiatric hospitals. With the planned closure and possible demolition of many of these institutions it seems worthwhile to record the architecture of the buildings, although inevitably most have been extended, renovated or dissected over the years. Initially hospitals in the vicinity of London are being photographed but we hope to include establishments throughout the country and would be pleased to receive photographs of any architecturally interesting psychiatric hospitals to add to our collection.

Abstract:

The relocation of chronic psychiatric patients in the community may be of unexpected benefit to town planners. Many Victorian mental hospitals, largely redundant in terms of medical use, are high quality buildings – some are listed or otherwise of architectural merit – and they are often set in mature landscaped grounds. Architect John Burrell has developed the idea of using former psychiatric hospital sites on the edges of cities as a basis for establishing a new urban core to outer suburban areas. His plans for the Woodford Green site won him the top prize in a national competition ‘Tomorrow

The number of patients in psychiatric facilities in Slovakia is increasing. Internal environment and appropriate architectural design of the building interior largely affects the health status and course of treatment of patients with psychiatric diagnoses such as depression and seasonal affective disorder. Specialized residential care facilities in Slovakia are often in poor technical conditions and internal environment often does not support therapeutic process, while in some cases it might work even contradictory.

Abstract:

This paper reviews the architecture of the Royal National Institute for the Insane in Stenjevec during its construction and the first years of its existence. Since the opening of the Institute in 1879 until the end of the World War I, there were numerous adaptations and extensions of the original capacities. The paper shows how these extensions reflected the existing paradigm of the institutional architecture in the second half of the 19th century.

Abstract:

Healing and therapeutic landscape design proposals are particularly suitable for medical facilities and, in general, facilities for people with health disorders, where they become a major support in difficult situations and can serve as a supplement to treatment. They do not replace medical help and different therapies, and neither do they exclude their need. However, their effects can improve and accelerate the recovery process in patients. In Slovakia, medical facilities do not often meet modern medical care requirements in terms of their technologies and equipment. For this reason, it is ne

Abstract:

It could be said that one of the chief architectural legacies of the late 20th century, when it comes to be considered retrospectively, will be the wanton destruction and dispersal of buildings constructed in the previous century for the public benefit. Churches, schools and hospitals have been systematically sold off, and a good number of them, if not totally demolished, have lapsed into a pathetic state of limbo, particularly in this time of economic recession. Some of the worst cases of this known to the Victorian Society are hospitals of great architectural quality, constructed for the tre

These individuals did not stay in hospital because of health problems but only due to the lack of social care by the state.

Abstract:

Therapists in psychiatric hospitals often overuse a model borrowed from natural science, with the patient becoming an object to be examined, assessed, and altered, and underuse an interpretive psychotherapeutic approach, or misuse it to control patients. And while expressing an interest in the meaning of what patients say, they exclude most of the traditional sources of meaning, in ethics, religion, literature, art, and political thought. The author argues that therapists do these things for two ideological reasons: to maintain their position in the authoritarian structure of the hospital and

Abstract:

AbstractObjective: The identification of personality disorder among psychiatric in-patients is important because of the effect on the course and outcome of illness. The introduction of a multiaxial approach to diagnosis, has resulted in a higher than previously reported rate of occurrence of personality disorder in a variety of psychiatric settings. A prevalence of personality disorder of 4.9% is reported in the official statistics for Irish psychiatric hospitals. The aim of this study is to determine the true prevalence of personality disorders in two Irish psychiatric hospitals, one public a

Abstract Background Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a debilitating mental illness characterized by a highly complex, heterogeneous, non-mendelian genetic background. Recent progress in dissecting genetic architecture of SCZ has accelerated over the last decade due to new advanced technologies. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) on extremely large samples of patients identified and replicated hundreds of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs), each exhibiting only a modest effect. The analysis of genomic Copy Number Variations (CNVs) clarified the role of rare structural variants conferring significa

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Day hospitals in psychiatry are a major alternative to inpatient care today, acting as key components of community and social psychiatry. Objective: To study trends in the use of psychiatric day hospitals over the last decades of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century, focusing on patient age, sex, and diagnostic group, using data from Centro Hospitalar São João, Porto, Portugal. METHODS: Data corresponding to years 1970 to 2009 were collected from patient files. Patients were classified into seven diagnostic groups considering their primary diagnoses only. RES

Abstract:

Liaison psychiatry has been an influential element in hospital psychiatric practice for over a decade now. It is concerned with the ‘diagnosis, treatment, study, and prevention of psychiatric disorders among patients in non-psychiatric health care institutions, especially in general hospitals’. This paper describes and evaluates a project in which the principles of liaison psychiatry were incorporated into a psychogeriatric service.

Abstract:

Many psychiatric hospitals in the UK have closed. Factors influencing staff morale around the time of a hospital closure will affect the functioning of that institution. This study surveyed staff anxieties, attitudes and expectations in a major psychiatric hospital three weeks prior to its closure. We found evidence of widespread denial despite energetic dissemination of information. There were also significant differences between staff groups. Our findings will have implications for the management of future hospital closures.“We have to get it into our heads that a hospital is like a shell, a

Abstract:

The move towards community care essentially aims at the provision of a comprehensive psychiatric service in each District with facilities for the chronically disabled based outside the hospital for the greater part. Parallel with this move runs the aim to close all large mental hospitals. The present debate centres around the extent to which we can move towards a system of comprehensive District psychiatric services alone at this stage in time and the question of whether it is desirable to abandon totally the large psychiatric hospital style of care. The brief of this paper is to summarize the

Abstract:

Privatisation of psychiatric care is an increasing phenomenon in the USA. This is a relatively new trend and has followed on the heels of other trends like the deinstitutionalisation of the 1960s and 70s. Until recently the majority of in-patient population was in public hospitals, with some in psychiatric units of general hospitals. In the 1980s, the private hospital corporations seem to have discovered that there is money to be made in the business of psychiatric care and started building and marketing psychiatric hospitals on a wide scale.

OBJECTIVE: To assess smoking policies at Canadian acute care hospitals.METHOD: A questionnaire was designed, piloted and faxed to all acute care hospitals in Canada. The questionnaire was designed to address the following: what is the current policy regarding patient smoking? Are staff and/or visitors allowed to smoke inside the hospital? Is there a separate policy for psychiatric patients? Are smoking cessation products available at the hospital pharmacy? Is the policy governed by regional or municipal legislation?RESULTS: A total of 852 hospitals were included in the study. Of these, 476 res
