Person Centered Psychiatry cover

This book presents an authoritative overview of the emerging field of person-centered psychiatry. This perspective, articulating science and humanism, arose within the World Psychiatric Association and aims to shift the focus of psychiatry from organ and disease to the whole person within their individual context. It is part of a broader person-centered perspective in medicine that is being advanced by the International College of Person-Centered Medicine through the annual Geneva Conferences held since 2008 in collaboration with the World Medical Association, the World Health Organization, the International Council of Nurses, the International Federation of Social Workers, and the International Alliance of Patients’ Organizations, among 30 other international health institutions.

In this book, experts in the field cover all aspects of person-centered psychiatry, the conceptual keystones of which include ethical commitment; a holistic approach; a relationship focus; cultural sensitivity; individualized care; establishment of common ground among clinicians, patients, and families for joint diagnostic understanding and shared clinical decision-making; people-centered organization of services; and person-centered health education and research.

“Person Centered Psychiatry should prove to be an unavoidable reference for future study of person centered psychiatry and a milestone in development of the whole field, this book can also be used as a great introduction into the field of person centered medicine for all of those seeking a holistic psychiatric perspective with an emphasis on ethical, cultural and relationship issues.” (Vjekoslav Peitl, Alcoholism and Psychiatry Research, Vol. 53 (1), 2017)
