ABOUT: Every clinical professional must deal with issues relating to mental illness and the potential need for residential treatment services. In order to best understand and recognize the setting which can best serve individuals in need of such programs, the historical progression from the development of often chaotic institutional care to community living to new approaches in treatment modalities can offer critical context and current best practices, including the development of Milieu Therapy as a cutting edge option for many individuals with long-term mental illness. This free seminar will provide attendees with a carefully constructed literature review of this topic while discussing experiences of presenters concerning historical developments and current practice.
