  • Title: [Work profile of social work in inpatient psychotherapy. Clinical fields and social rights implications].
    Author: Schreiber W, Pilz W, Becker T, Krieg JC.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 2000 Nov; 27(8):383-8. PubMed ID: 11140161.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: The task profile of social work in (acute) inpatient psychotherapy--unlike psychiatric inpatient treatment--is only fragmentarily described by the so-called Psychiatrie-Personalverordnung (Psych-PV). The aim of the present investigation was, therefore, to provide valid and representative data to define its respective scope of duties. METHODS: During a prospective one-year assessment at the Department of Psychotherapy and Behavioral Medicine at the Philipps-University of Marburg/Germany, we recorded corresponding data of social work referring to three areas of interest, i.e., "education and occupation", "housing and family", and "psychotherapy support". RESULTS: Our data suggest a broad overlap with the corresponding task profile of social work at psychiatric hospitals, which clearly differs, however, from the more therapeutical approach in social work as practiced in Anglo-American countries. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings stress the need for a re-evaluation of social work in inpatient psychotherapy concerning its specific task profile and the respective time values.
