The quality of social psychiatric support is not a matter of chance, as it can be described, promoted, managed, and evaluated. The handbook "PPQ: ProPsychiatrieQualität" illustrates how this can be achieved. The PPQ quality system offers a synthesis of state-of-the-art social psychiatry, internationally established quality management, and socio-ethical guiding principles based on a Christian understanding of humanity. ProPsychiatrieQualität means: - viewing the organization as a whole, where different groups are interrelated - a focus on participation: triadic quality circles - a resource-oriented approach: empowerment and recovery - action orientation and anti-stigma work.
