The continuity of care in the usual context of subject’s life and the multiprofessional care is the approach to psychiatric care of severe mental disorders prototypically implemented in Italy after the Psychiatric Reform of 1978. In this framework, the practice of psychiatric rehabilitation has been gradually refining and consolidating its paradigms, offering procedures and interventions with selective and targeted objectives. In this position paper, promoted by the Italian Society for Psychosocial Rehabilitation, some relevant statements are presented about the definition of psychosocial rehabilitation, the facilities where it is done and the interventions and activities implemented, the professionals involved and their education and training, and issues of management and organization. Limits and perspectives of this area are also discussed.

Abstract
The continuity of care in the usual context of subject’s life and the multiprofessional care is the approach to psychiatric care of severe mental disorders prototypically implemented in Italy after the Psychiatric Reform of 1978. In this framework, the practice of psychiatric rehabilitation has been gradually refining and consolidating its paradigms, offering procedures and interventions with selective and targeted objectives. In this position paper, promoted by the Italian Society for Psychosocial Rehabilitation, some relevant statements are presented about the definition of psychosocial rehabilitation, the facilities where it is done and the interventions and activities implemented, the professionals involved and their education and training, and issues of management and organization. Limits and perspectives of this area are also discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
