Sustainability of inpatient psychiatric rehabilitation for adults: systematic review
Against the backdrop of an increase in disability pensions due to mental health disorders, the aim of this review was a systematic analysis of the sustainability of inpatient psychiatric/ psychosomatic rehabilitation covering an observation period of at least 12 months after discharge from rehabilitation.
Overall, included studies (1 meta-analysis, 4 RCTs, 2 pre-post studies with, and 14 without a control group) showed similar trends: the improvement between admission and discharge deteriorated to varying degrees during the catamnestic period. Nevertheless, results remained better than at admission, though. In studies on specific aftercare we observed a trend towards an improved stabilization of treatment effects.

Treatment by clinical psychologists: Literature overview on training, methods of treatment and areas of application
In Austria, the ASVG (General Law on Social Security) currently includes clinical-psychological diagnostics, but not treatment by clinical psychologists. The LBI-HTA compiled a literature overview on “treatment by clinical psychologists” on behalf of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Health: Part I includes a comparison of training requirements of clinical psychologists in several countries and analyses Austrian stakeholder views systematically, part II presents a literature overview on treatment methods and indication areas in the international scientific literature.
