The group of schizophrenic patients is the most numerous categories in all the psychiatric institutions of the modem world and it is therefore understandable that the care and effort of psychiatric Service and of social community are directed to this segment of severely handicapped population of psychiatric patients.
Schizophrenic illness has a chronic course by its very nature and leaves damages and handicaps primarily on the personality of the patient so that it is necessary to carry out rehabilitation measures in order to re-establish the adequate relations with the micro- and macro-social environment in which the patient lives and works. In order to conduct the rehabilitation of schizophrenic patients efficiently, an adequate system of measures and activities is needed representing the rehabilitation model specific for a given sociocultural environment. Conditionally, it might be said that there are two preponderant models of rehabilitation of mentally ill in the world today. The first one is dominant in Anglo-Saxon countries and in the countries belonging to the so-called Western economic, political and cultural circle, where the rehabilitation of mentally ill is understood primarily as a social process, while the other model, used in Soviet psychiatric practice for decades already, attributes equal importance to biomedical and bio-social aspects of rehabilitation.
In our country, notwithstanding the many positive results in the protection and care of mentally ill, there is as yet no unique, efficient model of rehabilitation of mentally ill, the effects of that being the early invalidation of a numerous schizophrenic population and it shutting out from the active and productive life. It is obvious that new effort is needed in order to build a unique model of rehabilitation of schizophrenic patients proper to our social and other relevant circumstances.
