A Manifesto for Mental HealthResidential Care: Hotels not Hospitals

A Manifesto for Mental Health: Residential Care: Hotels not Hospitals [When we are in crisis, we may need residential care, but this does not need to be seen as a medical issue. Hospitals could therefore be replaced with residential units designed and managed from a psychosocial perspective. The best model for such a design may well be a 4* hotel rather than a clinic or hospital ward. The staff on such units may well include medical, psychiatric, experts as important and valued colleagues, but medical professionals could more effectively act as consultants to the team, rather than being seen as having sapiential authority over the team.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[When we are in crisis, we may need residential care, but this does not need to be seen as a medical issue. Hospitals could therefore be replaced with residential units designed and managed from a psychosocial perspective. The best model for such a design may well be a 4* hotel rather than a clinic or hospital ward. The staff on such units may well include medical, psychiatric, experts as important and valued colleagues, but medical professionals could more effectively act as consultants to the team, rather than being seen as having sapiential authority over the team.]
