A District Mental Health Care Team approach to psychotic disorders. Description of a possible intervention model

Abstract

In this article, we describe an intervention program with schizophrenia diagnosed patients carried out in a District Mental Health Care Team. The phenomenology and the temporary course of schizophrenia are critical variables for the programs design and for the choice of interventions to be developed in each case. Moreover, we achieve some preliminary conceptuál reflections about schizophrenia psychopatology and likewise, about reform policys in the mental health care system and its impact on professional performance.
