Person-centered care in psychiatric practice

Abstract

Advances in modern medicine are making the vision of personalised medicine within reach. Psychiatry is the leader in the practice of psychobiosocial medicine and should be leading the charge for delivering person-centred care. Engaging patients as equal partners in clinical decision making is compelling ethically but also makes clinical and financial sense. It is vital that psychiatric service and training organisations enable clinicians to become leaders in the delivery of person-centred care.
