The purpose of the article is to highlight effective, practical methods of psychosocial rehabilitation of patients with mental disorders. The article emphasizes the importance of outpatient services in the process of recovery of a person with mental disorders and the awareness that treatment can take place in a family environment, with the possibility of work. It is noted that psychosocial rehabilitation of the mentally ill is a complex process aimed at the recovery and development of various spheres of human life. Psychosocial rehabilitation interventions differ depending on the needs of patients, the place where rehabilitation interventions are carried out (hospital or community), as well as cultural and socio-economic conditions of the country, where a person with mental disorders lives. The author states that currently there are a large number of models of psychosocial rehabilitation and views on the methods of its implementation. However, all scientists and practitioners came to the conclusion that the result of rehabilitation measures should be the reintegration (return) of mentally ill people into society. At the same time, patients should feel no less full-fledged citizens than other population groups. The author proved the vital role of the family in the psychosocial rehabilitation of persons with mental disorders. First of all, it is important to understand that relatives of patients are indispensable allies in treatment. In view of the above, the goal of rehabilitation can be defined as follows: it is the improvement of the quality of life and social functioning of people with mental disorders by overcoming their social isolation and increasing their active life and civic position. The obtained result of the scientific analysis of the subject area can be used in the practical activities of clinical psychologists, practical psychologists, medical workers in the organization of psychiatric care for the population, for drawing up educational programs for improving the professional qualifications of medical psychologists and psychiatrists. The article substantiates the relevance and novelty of research directions for further development of the problem of improving the organization and content of psychiatric care for patients with mental disorders.
