Abstract
The authors analysed in their work paranoid delusions (code 290,2; 291,5; 295,3; 297; 298,3 and 301,0) that have been treated at the Osijek Psychiatry Clinic during the last 6 (six) years (from 1987 - When the Clinic was opened to 1992.). The authors deal briefly with the theoretical outlines of sociotherapy - especially in stationary conditions. The entire therapy team (psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, occupational, music therapist and nurse) decided about the time of including patients into the Sociotherapeutic treatment, after the acute phase of the illness that followed after the use of psychopharmacotherapy and relative soothing of the patient. The therapy team was meeting with the patients at certain places at definite time. After the first suspicion disappeared, the therapy team tried activly to establish communication aniong the patients at the stationary, mostly by actualizing the events from that Clinic ward. The authors mention several kinds of sociotherapeutic treatments group meetings, occupational therapy as well as music-therapy. They were noticing difficulties in joining the patients to these sociotherapeutic treatments. The authors pay a special attention to the difficulties of the therapy that occured during the was in inadequate improvised basement rooms; they talk about the »Psychiatry with no doors«. The authors consider the Sociotherapy to be a component part of treating paranoic delusions in pharmacotherapy. They point out the importance of good hospital atmosphere that is based on liberalization and humanization as well as sozialisation of mental patients with paranoic delusions.
