title: [Community psychological principles as the basis for the setting up and the organisation of a psycho-social counselling service at a vocational re-training centre (author's transl)].
abstract: In community psychology the individuum-centred medical model of disease, which, as a rule, determines the psychological and psychotherapeutic work has superseded socio-psychological concepts and approaches. The authors describe the basic requirements for a psychosocial counselling service at a vocational retraining centre which is guided by community psychological ideas and principles. The article reviews the manifold problems of the rehabilitees, the comprehensive services and the efficiency of the intervention strategies recorded over a two-year period. Furthermore, the authors discuss their experiences with preventive measures in connection with both early detection and prevention of problems. Through its adjustment to the concept of community psychology the responsibilities of psychological and psychotherapeutic services within an institution obtain a considerably higher differentiated structure, and at the same time, meet the demands more adequatedly.
