  • In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare systems rapidly embraced technology as a means of providing care while adhering to social distancing protocols. In this brief article, we report on a new telehealth initiative recently implemented in an out-patient psychiatric setting and outline the novel role telehealth may serve in facilitating psychiatric care globally. The uptake of telehealth represents a new and exciting opportunity to increase both access to, and quality of, care for people with mental illness.

  • The clinical application of the stress concept

  • F. Koerselman
  • Journal:
    Acta Neuropsychiatrica / Volume 14 / Issue 4 / August 2002
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    24 June 2014, pp. 192-195
  • Background:

    Knowledge on fundamental aspects of the influence of ‘stress’ on animal and human organisms is accumulating. In clinical situations, however, psychiatrists still do not use apropriate instruments to recognize and handle the impact of daily life stress. DSM-IV is insufficient in this respect.

    Objective:

    A different approach is sketched for clinicians to be able to integrate knowledge from research more effectively.

    Method:

    Application of a ‘broad’ biological view may reveal the significance of interpretation, emotion, impulse and reaction as stages of a ‘mental tract’, which is involved in processing the input of stressful situations.

    Result:

    This may lead to a more rational ‘targeting’ of pharmacological and psychotherapeutic strategies in clinical practice.

    Conclusion:

    A re-orientation of clinical psychiatry from mere classification towards a ‘broad’ biological approach may pave the way for a more rational and purposeful application of research findings to therapy.
