ADLİ PSİKİYATRİK ALANDA SOSYAL HİZMET UZMANLARININ ROL VE İŞLEVLERİ

Günümüzde, birçok ülkede, ağır ruhsal bozukluğa sahip bireyler cezalandırılmamakta ve bu bireylere mahkeme kararlarıyla zorunlu psikiyatrik tedavi verilmektedir. Bu hizmetler güvenlik seviyesi artırılmış yüksek güvenlikli hastanelerde sunulmaktadır. Ülkemizde, şehir hastanelerinin kurulmasıyla birlikte uzun yıllardır eksikliği görülen Yüksek Güvenlikli Adli Psikiyatri Hastaneleri 2018 yılı itibariyle açılmaya başlamış ve adli psikiyatri yatak sayıları artırılmıştır. Dünya’da adli psikiyatri hizmetlerinin sunumuna ve geliştirilmesine ilişkin tecrübe sahibi ülkeler vardır. Özellikle İngiltere ve ABD’de düşük, orta ve yüksek güvenlikli adli hastanelerle birlikte, toplum temelli bakım ve taburculuk sonrası takip sistemleri oldukça gelişmiştir. Sosyal hizmet uzmanları adli psikiyatrik tedavi ekibinin üyesi olarak hemen hemen tüm süreçte görev almakta ve mesleğin doğasına özgü işlev ve rollerini yerine getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Dünyada ve Türkiye’de adli psikiyatri hizmetlerinin gelişimine, sosyal hizmet mesleği açısından önemine ve adli psikiyatrik sosyal hizmet uzmanının işlev ve rolleri çeşitli yönleriyle ele alınmaktadır.
