This book presents an authoritative overview of the emerging field
of person-centered psychiatry. This perspective, articulating
science and humanism, arose within the World Psychiatric
Association and aims to shift the focus of psychiatry from organ
and disease to the whole person within their individual context. It
is part of a broader person-centered perspective in medicine that
is being advanced by the International College of Person-Centered
Medicine through the annual Geneva Conferences held since 2008 in
collaboration with the World Medical Association, the World Health
Organization, the International Council of Nurses, the
International Federation of Social Workers, and the International
Alliance of Patients' Organizations, among 30 other international
health institutions. In this book, experts in the field cover all
aspects of person-centered psychiatry, the conceptual keystones of
which include ethical commitment; a holistic approach; a
relationship focus; cultural sensitivity; individualized care;
establishment of common ground among clinicians, patients, and
families for joint diagnostic understanding and shared clinical
decision-making; people-centered organization of services; and
person-centered health education and research.
