Psychiatric Social work approach towards the recovery process in psychiatric care

Abstract

Through the evolution of methods in the mental care system, few professions were at work to provide psychiatric care. Psychiatric social work is among these professions with a fair share of providing mental care and service. This study aims to clarify psychiatric social work’s contribution in providing comprehensive care by implementing methods based on environmental and humanistic approaches. To illustrate that, an interpretive phenomenological examination was conducted. The result showed the capacity of psychiatric social workers to be parallel agents who contribute important social, environmental, and humanistic care for those who need mental care and support.
