Methods and practice of psychiatric treatment of Soviet Karelia.
The modern trend in the Republic on Karelia has been to discharge a lot of patients from psychiatric hospitals and to arrange out-patient treatment and follow-up near their homes. The day-care units have been found to be beneficial to many patients. In addition to the medical treatment, many rehabilitating aspects such as work therapy, physiotherapy and patient meetings have an effect on the recovery. Especially treatment of elderly patients can be most reasonably arranged at home.
