V Begunjah je zadnja psihiatrična bolnišnica, ki jo bomo obiskali. Bolnišnica je nameščena v graščinskem poslopju. Grad je nastal pred letom 1338 in ima pestro zgodovino. Stavbni razvoj poslopja je bil zaključen v 18. stoletju. Najdlje je bila graščina v lasti rodbine Kacijanarjev, takrat se je imenovala Katzenstein Leta 1875 jo je odkupila dr...žava in jo preuredila v žensko kaznilnico. Med drugo svetovno vojno so bili v njej nemški zapori, danes pa je v njej bolnišnica.

Na spletni strani http://www.pb-begunje.si/Osnova/index.php
so zapisali, imajo v bolnišnici 155 postelj. Ob posteljah so na voljo tudi druge nastanitvene zmogljivosti, ki omogočajo dodatno vsakodnevno zdravljenje 45 pacientov v okviru dnevne bolnišnice. Letno sprejemajo okoli 1550 pacientov, v ambulanti pa beležijo do 10.000 ambulantnih obiskov. Bolniških oddelkov je trenutno 8, od teh je 6 ločenih po spolu pacientov, dva pa sta mešana - oddelek za zdravljenje odvisnosti od alkohola in oddelek za vedenjsko kognitivno psihoterapijo.
Moški intenzivni oddelek C1 in ženski intenzivni oddelek D imata skupaj 32 postelj. Omejitev izhodov s teh dveh oddelkov je relativna, potrebo po omejevanju posameznih pacientov se določa vsak dan posebej. V praksi to pomeni, da ima lahko pacient na intenzivnem oddelku enake možnosti gibanja kot na ostalih oddelkih bolnišnice, ki so povsem odprtega tipa. Vsi oddelki razen intenzivnih delujejo po principu terapevtske skupnosti.

Tema, ki se ji bomo posvetili bo ALTERNATIVE MEDICINSKEM ZDRAVLJENJU. Poleg alternativ, ki jih nakazuje že sama psihiatrija (npr. psihoterapija) in socialno delo (npr. koordinirana obravnava) bomo poskušali ugotoviti, katere vse dejavnosti prispevajo k boljšemu psihičnemu počutju, »sestavljanju sebe«, da človek preživi krizo in se lahko ven iz nje izvleče.

Morda mimogrede obiščemo tudi zavod Matevža Langusa v Radovljici.



Begunje are the last psychiatric hospital that we'll visit on our way. The hospital is located in a manor. The manor was built before 1338 and has a versitile history.The development of the building was finished in 18th century. While in possession of Kacijanar family it was known as Katzenstein.
In 1875 the building was bought by the state and made into a women penitentiary. During World War II was used as German prison, today it's a hospital.
Hospital's web page says, that in the hospital there is 155 beds available. Beside hospital beds there are also other capacities, that allow daily treatment for additional 45 patients. Each year they take 1550 patients and treat 10.000 outpatients at the clinic. At the moment the hospital has 8 hospital departments, from which 6 are taking patients separately by their gender. The Department for Alcohol addiction treatment and the Department for cognitive behavioral psychotherapy are mixed.

Together mail intensive department C1 and female intensive department D have 32 beds.The restriction of exit from this two departments are relative,exit permits are set for each day separately. That means, that patients from this two intensive departments can leave the hospital almost as freely as patients from other, open departments. All but the two intensive departments are organised as a therapeutic communities.

Our topics will be ALTERNATIVES TO MEDICAL THERAPY. Beside alternatives, that are already used by psychiatry itself (psychotherapy etc) and social work, we'll try to point out which activities contributes the most to a persons psychological well-being, "getting a hold of himself", how a person gets trough a crisis and out of it.

Passing-by we'll visit Matevž Langus Institution in Radovljica.
