This book presents the basic theoretical and historical concepts

practices in community psychiatry in Greece and in other parts of
Europe. Concepts such as the biopsychosocial model, psychiatric
reform, psychosocial rehabilitation and the recovery model, as
well as new case management models are approached from a
critical, anthropocentric perspective.The current socioeconomic crisis in Europe brings with it new
realities in mental health systems. New forms of social suffering
are forcing the psychiatric community to re-examine what is
considered normal. In order to respond to the complexity of the
newly emerging needs, social and community psychiatry has been
compelled to broaden the objectives of intervention and research
alike, developing new and dynamic relations with complementary
scientific fields such as social anthropology, psychoanalysis and
microeconomics. The present work is the result of collaboration
between professionals from across these different
fields.
