Overview
This work summarizes the efforts of various institutions and experts to eliminate prejudices against mental disorders and the stigmatization of psychiatry and to integrate the psychic insane people into the society and into work process. This work also summarizes the majority of experience of these institutions and experts in this field.
In the introduction you can find the explanation or definitions of the following terms:
work, work performance, mentally performance, work environment, the analysis of workers´ qualities, behaviour at work, attitudes, working time and the resistance to changes.
In the special part, the authors are concerned with the opinions and behaviour of both general public and experts towards to mentally insane people. The most critical opinions go against those suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. The authors also concentrate extensively on the problem of stigmatization in psychiatry, because the stigmas and superstitions about the psychiatric patients still form a permanent opinion of the majority of people. These important and significant documents are quoted: Athens Declaration, Declaration of Mental Health, Action Global Plan for Europe, EU Green Book, May Declaration, Law About Social Services.
The authors state that an array of organizations associations for psychiatric patients has emerged. The Czech Republic is not so far as successful in the development of community care system as it is in a number of the EU countries. It is widely known that a comprehensive system of the community care assigned to psychiatry patients is approximately as expensive as repeated hospitalizations and, many times, it is even cheaper.
Key words:
stigmatisation, psychiatric patient, work performance, community care, EU Green Book, May Declaration, Law about Social Services.
