Early psychosis is a relatively new area of practice in the field of mental health. Early intervention for people with psychosis is increasingly being recognised as a crucial component of quality care. Rehabilitation interventions in early psychosis assist in promoting recovery and involvement in community life, reduce the development of disability and facilitate the achievement of personal goals. The development of models of care and best practice in early psychosis intervention has been promoted by the Commonwealth of Australia. This paper describes a model of care and best practice in early psychosis intervention — the Early Psychosis Programme — which has been implemented in an integrated mental health service.

SUMMARY Forensic psychiatry services have grown and become more complex in structures, processes and pathways. Legacy customs, practices and changing policy are now organised into formal models of care. These are written accounts of how a health service is delivered, outlining best practice and services for patients progressing through the stages of their condition and the care and treatment available. This article explores the four key elements of a model of care: goals; pathways and processes; treatment programmes; and systematic evaluation. It describes the most common model of care in forensic services, which builds on structures of stratified therapeutic security. It also considers variations on this basic or standard model matched to needs arising from the complex interrelationship with other parts of the mental health service for the population served and with criminal justice, primary care and physical health, housing and welfare agencies.

Care Counselling

Primary mental health care is an evolving system, in need of regular revision and requiring innovative and creative adjustments in order to provide the public with an easily accessible and appropriate level and type of service, based on best practice and evidence. This paper is the first in a series of three exploring primary mental health care. The Irish model of care, ‘Counselling in Primary Care’, is presented as well as a number of short-comings associated with that model. The short-comings include eligibility criteria governing access, limitations of service as well as waiting lists; and the medicalization of service delivery.

Inpatient Ward

The interface between inpatient and community services requires special attention in order to provide safe and high-quality care to patients who are significantly unwell, pose significant risks, and are transitioning between teams. This chapter provides an outline of how community services work to provide care for patients with mental health problems both in the community and in hospital. The authors describe their experience working within an adapted flexible assertive community treatment (FACT) model of care, alongside the Care Programme Approach for supporting service users and carers during their journey through services. The contribution of a community partnership between mental health services and the voluntary sector organizations is also described, with a focus on the support it provides to patients in delivering timely and safe discharge from the acute inpatient ward.

Traditional Service

Only a small proportion of the treatment of mental illness occurs in an institution or hospital. By far the most significant treatment happens in the community and in the patient's own social and family environment. However, de-institutionalisation of mental health services has brought increasing numbers of patients to the emergency department in need of psychiatric assistance. The traditional service model of emergency departments, focusing on physical illness and injury, is being challenged. The literature review identified numerous psychiatric service models inplace but dramatically highlighted the lack of a specific service model addressing psychiatric patients who present on multiple occasions [multi-presenters] in emergency departments. At present, accurate data on the effects of multi-presentation of psychiatric disorders are not available. Recent international and local research into models of service delivery management and best practice is examined.

Mental Health Settings

Anxiety disorders are commonly experienced by college and university students and should be routinely assessed in mental health settings. Epidemiological studies suggest that the burden of these illnesses has greatly expanded even over the past decade. Factors that contribute to the experience of an anxiety disorder in a young adult student population are considered herein. The best practice for evaluation and treatment of these disorders is presented based on the review of available literature in this field. Special attention is paid to the concept of resilience as it pertains to anxiety disorders in the student population.
