THE STIGMA OF MENTAL ILLNESS AND RECOVERY
Stigma and recovery āfromā and āinā mental illness are associated in many various ways. While recovery gives opportunities, makes person stronger, gives purpose and meaning to their lives and leads to social inclusion, in the same time stigma reduces opportunities, reduces self-esteem and self-efficacy, reduces the belief in own abilities and contributes to social exclusion through discrimination. The recovery of a person with mental illness means to get and keep hope, to understand their own possibilities and impossibilities, active living, to be autonomous, to have a social identity and to give meaning and purpose of our own lives. The care system, recovery-oriented, provides help and support to people with mental disorders in his/her recovery, which contributes to reduction of self-stigma, to the elimination of stigmatizing attitudes and beliefs in mental health services which consequently may have a positive reflection in reducing the stigma of mental illness in the community. It is important to look at the stigma and recovery from the perspective of individual experience of each person with a mental illness in the process of recovery. A support to the recovery concept and the development of a recovery-oriented system of care should be one of the key segments of any strategy to
combat the stigma of mental illness. Also, the cultural and the social stigma aspects of stigma would be taken into account in the developing of the recovery concept and on the recovery-oriented care system
ICD-11 CLASSIFICATION OF MENTAL DISORDERS ā THE CHALLENGE OF INTEGRATING A PSYCHODYNAMIC APPROACH
Danas je razvijeno nekoliko dijagnostiÄko-klasifikacijskih sustava duÅ”evnih poremeÄaja, MeÄunarodna
klasifikacija bolesti i srodnih stanja (MKB) Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije se smatra kljuÄnom klasifikacijom
zbog njene globalne primjenjivosti. U posljednjoj, jedanaestoj MKB reviziji (MKB-11) uvedene
su znaÄajne opÄe promjene i promjene vezano za dijagnozu i klasifikaciju duÅ”evnih poremeÄaja. One
su sadržane u strukturi poglavlja koje se bavi duÅ”evnim poremeÄajima, uvoÄenju novih dijagnostiÄkih
kategorija, djelomiÄnoj integraciji dimenzionalnog pristupa u dijagnostiÄke kategorije, te revidiranim kliniÄkim
opisima i dijagnostiÄkim smjernicama. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati najistaknutije promjene uvedene
u klasifikaciju duÅ”evnih poremeÄaja s posebnim osvrtom na poremeÄaje liÄnosti i poremeÄaje koji su u
MKB-10 svrstani u skupinu neurotskih, sa stresom povezanih i somatoformnih poremeÄaja kroz prizmu
moguÄnosti integracije psihodinamiÄkog pristupa.Multiple systems for the diagnosis and classification of mental disorders have been developed today and
the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) is considered to
be the key classification due to its global applicability. The latest, eleventh ICD revision (ICD-11) included
significant general changes and changes relating to the diagnosis and classification of mental disorders.
These are listed in the chapter describing mental disorders, the introduction of new diagnostic categories,
partial integration of the dimensional approach into diagnostic categories, and the revised clinical
descriptions and diagnostic guidelines. The aim of this paper is to address the most prominent changes
introduced into the classification of mental disorders, with a specific review of personality disorders and
disorders that were classified in the ICD-10 as neurotic, stress-related disorders and somatoform disorders,
through the prism of a possible integration of the psychodynamic approach
INTEGRATING THE CONCEPT OF CREATIVE PSYCHOPHARMACOTHERAPY AND GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY IN CLINICAL PRACTICE
Modern psychiatric treatment is largely dictated by national and international guidelines rested on evidence-based data,
including psychopharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. An alternative to the rigid application of official guidelines and criterion for
the standards of treatment in psychiatric practice is the concept of creative psychopharmacotherapy. It is a concept based on the
integration of different approaches to a person as whole, mental disorders and their treatment into person-centered clinical practice.
In this sense, group psychotherapy and creative psychopharmacotherapy today are part of the overall integrative efforts in
psychiatry. Neuroscientific discoveries suggest that they share similar neural pathways that lead to changes in brain function and
symptoms relief. Various integrative elements make group psychotherapy and psychopharmacotherapy in combination more effective
and efficient. The integration of the concept of creative psychopharmacotherapy and group psychotherapy into everyday clinical
practice can improve treatment options as well as clinical practice by creating opportunities for research and development of new
modalities of overall treatment
