          Abstract

          Tomando en cuenta la actual necesidad de formular un tratamiento integral para enfermos mentales graves y crónicos, así como la reciente tendencia a la intervención fuera del ámbito institucional, aquí desarrollamos una revisión teórica de dos aportaciones sumamente reconocidas de intervención socio-comunitaria con este tipo de pacientes: el Tratamiento Asertivo Comunitario y el Acompañamiento Terapéutico. Para esto comenzamos definiendo el término "trastorno mental grave y crónico" y realizando una breve revisión de los antecedentes de la intervención socio-comunitaria. Además, se analiza el recurso Equipo de Apoyo Social Comunitario, un dispositivo multidisciplinar de reciente creación en la Comunidad de Madrid, que fundamentado en los anteriores, se aboca a la intervención con este colectivo en el ámbito comunitario. Finalmente, se discuten consideraciones prácticas en este campo, tales como el concepto de "encuadre", el tratamiento "in vivo", el de "conciencia de enfermedad" o la importancia de la implicación de la comunidad en el tratamiento de este colectivo. Del mismo modo, se formulan recomendaciones generales para futuras investigaciones.

          Translated abstract

          In view of both the current need to formulate a comprehensive treatment for severe chronic mentally ill patients and the increasing tendency to outpatient care, this paper presents a theoretical review of two acknowledged socio-community based approaches -the assertive community treatment and the therapeutic accompanying. First, a definition of "severe chronic mental illness" is forwarded along with a brief review of the background of socio-community based intervention. Then, an outline of the community social support team is made -a new multidisciplinary device in Madrid Region for treating this kind of patients. Finally, practical considerations are made about issues such as the concept of setting, in vivo treatment, illness awareness and the importance of community involvement in the treatment of these patients. Some recommendations are also made for future research.

          Evidence-based practice in psychology.

          (2006)
          The evidence-based practice movement has become an important feature of health care systems and health care policy. Within this context, the APA 2005 Presidential Task Force on Evidence-Based Practice defines and discusses evidence-based practice in psychology (EBPP). In an integration of science and practice, the Task Force's report describes psychology's fundamental commitment to sophisticated EBPP and takes into account the full range of evidence psychologists and policymakers must consider. Research, clinical expertise, and patient characteristics are all supported as relevant to good outcomes. EBPP promotes effective psychological practice and enhances public health by applying empirically supported principles of psychological assessment, case formulation, therapeutic relationship, and intervention. The report provides a rationale for and expanded discussion of the EBPP policy statement that was developed by the Task Force and adopted as association policy by the APA Council of Representatives in August 2005.

            Alternative to mental hospital treatment. I. Conceptual model, treatment program, and clinical evaluation.

            A conceptual model for the development of community-based treatment programs for the chronically disabled psychiatric patient was developed, and the results of a controlled study and follow-up are reported. A community-treatment program that was based on the conceptual model was compared with conventional treatment (ie, progressive short-term hospitalization plus aftercare). The results have shown that use of the community program for 14 months greatly reduced the need to hospitalize patients and enhanced the community tenure and adjustment of the experimental patients. When the special programming was discontinued, many of the gains that were attained deteriorated, and use of the hospital rose sharply. The results suggest that community programming should be comprehensive and ongoing.

              Measuring the fidelity of implementation of a mental health program model.

              A fidelity index of program implementation for assertive community treatment (ACT) was developed. In Study 1, 20 experts rated the importance of 73 elements proposed as critical ACT ingredients, also indicating ideal model specifications for elements. Agreement among experts on ratings of importance was high (intraclass r = .98). In Study 2, a 17-item subset of the expert-identified critical ingredients was used to construct a fidelity index with three subscales: Staffing, Organization, and Service. Internal consistencies ranged from .50 to .72, with a .81 reliability for the total scale. Fidelity was linearly related to program "generations," suggesting "program drift." In 18 ACT programs, fidelity also was associated with measures of reduction in days in psychiatric hospitals. The correlation was significant for the total scale and for the Organization and Staffing subscales but not for the Service subscale.
