Abstract

To explore and dispel some misunderstandings and myths that practitioners in each field sometimes carry about the other. Literature review and observation. Psychiatry and psychosocial rehabilitation's shared emphasis on the biopsychosocial nature of mental illness forms a compelling basis for cooperative enterprise. Mentally ill persons are best served when the disciplines of psychiatry and psychosocial rehabilitation come together in a common cause.Keywords
