Milieu therapy

Environmental treatment is a psychotherapy including the use of a treatment community. The patient is registered for about 30 people for 9 to 18 months. During your stay, patients are encouraged to take responsibility for themselves and other people in the department based on the level of collective influence. Patients are expected to follow the following rules and older patients need to establish appropriate behavioral models for new patients. If a patient violates the rules, other people who know the violation but who are not intervening may also be punished to varying degrees for their participation. Environmental therapy is considered valuable for treating personality disorders and behavioral problems and can also be used to stimulate the patient's remaining cognitive communication abilities. Organizations known to use environmental therapy include Henderson Hospital in London, Forest Heights Lodge in Evergreen, Colorado, [1] [2], and the US Veterans Office. [3]

Group psychotherapy is an important element in the treatment of local environmental therapy. The overall environment or environment is considered a treatment medium and all interactions and activities are considered potential treatments and need to be examined, explained and discussed at daily or weekly community meetings. However, the interaction between the culture of the collective psychotherapeutic environment and the management regulations of the external authorities can create "organizational confusion", which means that the ability of a group to maintain a safe but challenging "forming space" It can be seriously compromised. Academics at Oxford University studied dynamics between the democratic therapeutic communities across the country over the course of four years; they found that external guidance from the authorities eroded community treatment, triggered a crisis and became a community It led to a difficult confrontation to guide. close up
