Abstract

Non-forensic or regular assertive community treatment (ACT) has positive effects on non-forensic outcomes but has poor effects on forensic outcome measures. In this study, we examined non-forensic and forensic outcome measures of a forensic adaptation of ACT (ForACT) within a continuum of care for internees. Data were collected retrospectively from files of 70 participants in the ForACT group who had been released from a forensic hospital. The control group comprised internees who had left prison and entered community-based care (n = 56). The ForACT group demonstrated significantly better outcomes on forensic measures, such as arrests and incarcerations, and had better community tenure. However, this group showed high hospitalization rates. The findings indicate that this type of community-based care can be beneficial for such internees; however, internees continue to experience difficulties reintegrating into society.

Medikamente verändern wohl Nährstoffzusammensetzung der Muttermilch

Einige Medikamente wie selektive Serotonin-Wiederaufnahmehemmer können offenbar die Makronährstoffzusammensetzung der Muttermilch verändern. Das birgt möglicherweise gesundheitliche Risiken für manche gestillte Kinder.

Psychologische Interventionen können Depressionen oft verhindern

Gespräche, Telefonate, internetbasierte Verfahren: Mit solchen Methoden lässt sich der Beginn einer Depression bei gefährdeten Personen oft vermeiden. Sie funktionieren vor allem dann, wenn die Betroffenen deutliche Symptome aufweisen und noch keine Psychotherapie hatten.

Die beste Medizin gegen Altersdepression: Laufen, Lernen, Lachen, Lieben

Depressionen im Alter haben vielfältige Ursachen und verlaufen anders als bei jungen Menschen. Ohne einen multimodalen Ansatz kommt man oft nicht weit: Neben Medikamenten und Psychotherapien ist die physische, kognitive und soziale Aktivierung entscheidend.

Wir sozio-emotionalen Blobs

Entscheidungen sollten rational erfolgen – in der Politik wie im Leben. So wünschen wir uns das. Letztlich werden sie aber von Emotionen bestimmt. Wer das nicht versteht und anerkennt, wird kaum Wege aus Krisen finden. Die Neurowissenschaftlerin Maren Urner fordert daher eine „Reifeprüfung“ zur Krisenbewältigung.
