Abstract

Background Sociotherapy is an approved method in the treatment of mental disorders. The present study aimed at evaluating the role of sociotherapy in a scientific journal during the last 20 years. Methods A systematic analysis of all papers published in the "Psychiatrische Praxis" in the years 1985/1986, 1995/1996 and 2005/2006 was carried out. Results During the last two decades the proportion of papers with sociotherapeutic topics has decreased significantly. 20 years ago one out of four articles dealt with sociotherapy, currently only one out of ten. In addition, the spectrum of themes is diminished, only the topics work rehabilitation and relatives are represented in the latest issues of the journal. Conclusion In contrast to its clinical value, sociotherapy has lost importance in psychiatric research. Multidisciplinary collaboration is required to enhance sociotherapy in mental health care research.
