- Abstract
- (en) [Adult Psychiatry Innovations in 2023] In this section on psychiatric innovations, we will be presenting two important aspects of what is currently happening in adult psychiatry: firstly, the creation of the Integrated Psychiatry Institute, a real plus for UCLouvain psychiatry, which combines the skills developed by Sanatia, the psychiatric hub of the ASBL Valisana, and the Adult Psychiatry Department of the Cliniques Saint-Luc, which we will outline in a first article. In a second article, we will describe the virtues of the split-hospitalization model. Psychiatric care does not rely solely on pharmacological or psychotherapeutic approaches. Our proposal here aims to ensure that the suggested hospital setting, and more specifically the idea of inviting patients to return home during stays designed to be shorter, helps to counteract the risks of chronicity and allow patients to be back in charge of their own lives and care. Such a model has existed for 20 years in the field of alcohol use disorders. We are implementing a similar model for mood disorders as part of the Integrated Psychiatry Institute, being set up on the Woluwé site.
