[Responsibility of youth assistance teams for rehabilitation of mentally handicapped young adults].

The change of responsibilities for the integration assistance of mentally handicapped young people from social welfare to youth care confronts the socio-pedagogical view with the child and youth psychiatric view. The advantages of the new order of responsibility, which is only a first step regarding the assignment of all handicapped young people to youth care, will only become visible if representatives of both disciplines are open for diverse procedures and work with children, youths, and parents as equals and as partners. The eighth, volume of the Social Welfare Law Book (Achtes Buch Sozialgesetzbuch, SGB VIII) supplies the necessary framework.
