A coordinated psychotherapeutic treatment model with long-term follow-up

A COORDINATED PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC TREATMENT MODEL WITH LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP

A coordinated psychotherapy program is described that integrates inpatient care, day hospital treatment, and outpatient follow-up within a framework of a single team and an ongoing therapeutic relationship.

The poster aims to introduce a coordinated psychotherapeutic treatment model implemented in the Department of Psychotherapy at University Psychiatric Hospital Vrapče in Zagreb, integrating inpatient care, day hospital treatment, and outpatient care. The model is presented descriptively in four stages: referral from the emergency department and other clinical services after acute symptoms have been stabilized; an inpatient unit running a weekly program within a therapeutic community; a day hospital where treatment continues with the same therapists and methods; and long-term outpatient follow-up at reduced intensity. The inpatient program consists of individual and group psychotherapy tailored to the patient's profile and goals, targeted and integrated pharmacological treatment, daily psychosocial activities within the therapeutic community, and a stepwise discharge plan developed before discharge. During follow-up, patients continue with familiar therapists and methods while treatment intensity is gradually reduced, allowing them to return to their everyday roles while maintaining the therapeutic relationship and their sense of belonging to the group. The reported outcomes remain qualitative and are described as stabilization, symptom reduction, and improved functioning; the poster provides no sample size, follow-up duration, or quantitative outcome data. The authors state that an integrated psychotherapy department provides a robust framework for sustained follow-up and recovery in complex psychiatric disorders, supporting continuity of therapeutic relationships, personalized care, and gradual readjustment to everyday life. They suggest that the model could be adapted by other services seeking to strengthen psychotherapy-focused treatment.
