The goal of all professionals in psychiatry is to promote the empowerment of clients. How can this be achieved? Empowerment can only come from the clients themselves. However, psychiatric professionals can stimulate, accompany, and enhance such processes. Andreas Knuf, Margret Osterfeld, and Ulrich Seibert have compiled a variety of aspects that illustrate what it means to support mentally ill individuals in these processes. This book offers new perspectives on psychotherapy for psychoses, psychoeducation, medication issues, the concept of compliance, as well as on the stabilization of identity, mediation of social conflicts, such as in families, psychiatric coercion in acute care, and much more. One conclusion of the book is: The promotion of client empowerment.
