In a pilot program, an active, participatory treatment approach has been implemented in a 32-bed, inpatient setting at the Florida Mental Health Institute (FMHI) and appears to be more effective than a traditional mental hospital treatment modality. This report presents a description of the Psychosocial Rehabilitation Entry Project (PREP) at FMHI. The PREP program encourages client growth, independence, and responsibility through the use of a small group, peer-management approach. Research indicates that this approach results in a rehospitalization rate significantly lower than that of patients in a more traditional treatment program.
在一个试点项目中，佛罗里达精神卫生研究所（FMHI）在一个拥有32张床位的住院环境中实施了一种积极的、参与式治疗方法，而且似乎比传统的精神病院治疗方式更有效。本报告介绍了FMHI的心理社会康复入门项目（PREP）。PREP项目通过采用小组同伴管理方法来鼓励服务对象成长、独立并承担责任。研究表明，这种方法导致的再次住院率显著低于更传统治疗项目中的患者。
