Assertive Community Treatment: History, Function, and Outcomes
Program Purpose
Despite the introduction of new medications and treatment options, many of our consumers fail to demonstrate the promise of
recovery from devastating psychiatric illnesses. Their problem is further complicated by the lack of integrated resources operating
in a complex and fragmented Mental Health “System”. Assertive Community Treatment attempts to address the issues confronting
both our consumers and systems in dealing with severe mental illness in an era of ever declining resources and increasing
expectations. Through the use of new approaches to address the goals and needs of our consumers, ACT teams have created novel
and cost effective programs that enhance our present systems while extending our reach toward the goal of recovery.
Program Objectives
Upon completion of the program, the participant shall be able to:
1. Recall the historic development of psychiatry and treatment options;
2. Identify treatment models and their limitations in achieving the goals of consumers and practitioners;
3. Identify roadblocks to recovery within cognitive constructs, systems, and pharmacologic treatments which impair our
consumers recovery;
4. Demonstrate the use of the “Strengths Based Model” as a treatment modality, applicable to all areas of psychiatry;
5. Recognize the impact of hypofrontality upon consumers with an SMI diagnosis and treatment options; and
6. Explore the future of psychopharmacology research and implicated neuroreceptors.
