Publisher's Synopsis

It is argued that the provision of health services does not appear to meet the needs of the population, and it is clear that strategies implemented by the majority of countries healthcare systems are not offering adequate solutions to deal with the problem facing modern societies today. This text contains A comprehensive compilation of experiences and opinions from individuals who suffer from psychiatric disorder. Their reports serve as a catalyst that will facilitate the development of emergency psychiatry, which in turn will be beneficial to general psychiatry and to medicine as a whole. This volume testifies to the rich experiences acquired and the increase in the specific interventions and the techniques required to treat psychiatric problems. The book reveals the methological and ideological variety that characterizes emergency psychiatry today.
