Description
Emergency Psychiatry in a Changing World is a compilation of selected topics presented at the 5th World Congress of the International
Association for Emergency Psychiatry held on October 1998 in Belgium.
This volume discusses the dramatic increase in the number
of emergencies and crisis situations in recent decades especially in general hospitals of large cities. It has been found that most psychiatric
emergencies are triggered by mental breakdown of patients suffering from various psychiatric disorders caused by a series of crisis situations
that have to do with familial, social and psychosocial problems. The psychiatric staff is faced with a situation where they have to set
up adequate care structures to deal with these new problems.
Drug addicts, homeless persons, victims of macrosocial disasters (earthquakes,
plane crashes, terrorist attacks, civil wars), and the daily victims of violence (muggings, holdup, rapes) are few examples of what the
emergency services are dealing with today. The boundaries between psychiatric work and social control have become unclear.
New psychiatric
care policies must be set in place, together with the development of new ethical and clinical guidelines. In the dawn of the 21st century,
it is therefore essential to tackle the issues fundamental to the future of the work in the psychiatric field.
