The advanced rehabilitation technologies show that the modern psychiatric service and society in general possess a considerable resource of return of disabled people owing mental diseases to an active life in family, professional and public spheres.

The psychiatry of today seeks to emphasize humane and sympathetic aspect of medicine. The program is devoted to this humanity which is often lost in technically equipped and unilaterally biologically focused modern medical practice.
