Aspects regarding the prevention of inhuman or degrading acts in psychiatric and psychoneurological institutions

This article examines the issue of improving the situation in psychiatric and neurology hospitals. The authors come up with some recommendations and proposals in highlighting effective tools designed to be of benefit to the beneficiaries. These include the “crumbling” of foster homes (currently housing over 400 patients) in institutions that will supervise a limited number of beneficiaries, thus facilitating the realization of occupational-individual activities and the removal of overcrowding of those institutions, the involvement of a sufficient number of professionals, capable of solving a number of problems, including the prevention of acts of torture, inhuman or degrading. In the opinion of the authors, the collective, through its representatives, is to arrange its agenda of activities in order to establish an effective plan to improve the services concerned with the care of the most sensitive members of society. Additionally, the authors promote voluntary starts. The involvement of fresh graduates of the Faculties of Medicine, Law, Psychology, but also of journalism would increase the social responsibility of new practitioners, but would also influence the reform of outdated practices and conceptions in this field.
