Innovations in Behavioural Health Architecture

This book examines the ways in which healthcare architecture can contribute, as a highly valued informational and reference source, to the provision of psychiatric and addictive disorder treatment in communities around the world. It provides an overview of the need for a new generation of progressively planned and designed treatment centres - both inpatient and outpatient care environments - and the advantages, challenges, and opportunities associated with meeting the burgeoning need for treatment settings of this type.
