Therapeutic community

The therapeutic community is an important part of the treatment of mental and behavioural disorders. The renowned Czech author offers readers a complete overview of the general model of the therapeutic community (psychiatric-psychotherapeutic communities and therapeutic communities for drug addicts) and clearly characterizes the common core of all types of therapeutic communities: treatment philosophy, rules, communication, program components and effective factors. The publication also focuses on particular aspects of the therapeutic community for drug addicts as the most common application of the model at present.
