In all the Nordic countries there has been a development in the field of psychiatry, away from the large treatment institutions towards locally and socially based psychiatric work. In the individual Nordic countries this work is organised in different ways. In Denmark the development of the psychiatric organisation has tried to get away from centralized institutional psychiatry towards a more decentralized district psychiatry and social psychiatry. The expression 'social psychiatry' is often accused of mixing medical psychiatric treatment with social interventions or suggesting that social work can also be a form of psychiatric treatment. Social work is social work and social care directed towards people with mental disorders. This work is based on specialised psychiatric knowledge and basis social methods and concepts.
