Come si struttura il servizio dello psicologo a domicilio
Dopo aver valutato il singolo caso e l’utilità dell’intervento dello psicologo a domicilio vengono concordati:
- un case manager (terapeuta)
- gli operatori coinvolti (équipe interventi psicologici a domicilio)
- gli obiettivi dell’intervento a domicilio
- le tempistiche dell’intervento a domicilio
Gli interventi potranno essere svolti a domicilio o, dove necessario – soprattutto per quando riguarda le esposizioni in vivo – in luoghi esterni allo studio/ufficio dello psicoterapeuta.
Qualora ce ne fosse bisogno, le visite domiciliari coinvolgeranno anche i familiari/caregiver del paziente. L’intervento ai familiari sarà di sostegno e di psicoeducazione al disturbo del proprio caro. Inoltre verrà monitorato il benessere emotivo del familiare e nel caso in cui il suo carico emotivo, fisico, sociale si trasformasse in sintomatologia, verrà considerata la presa in carico terapeutica maggiormente indicata nei suoi confronti.
Se le condizioni dovessero richiederlo, l’intervento psicologico a domicilio potrà essere integrato con una valutazione psichiatrica domiciliare.
Le aree di sofferenza in cui può essere applicato l’intervento dello psicologo a domicilio sono le seguenti:
- Interventi psicologici a domicilio per i Disturbi d’Ansia
- Interventi psicologici a domicilio per il Disturbo Ossessivo Compulsivo
- Interventi psicologici a domicilio per il Disturbo da Accumulo
- Interventi psicologici a domicilio per la Depressione Post Partum
- Interventi psicologici a domicilio per i Disturbi Alimentari
- Interventi psicologici a domicilio per le Patologie organiche (patologie organiche in fase iniziale o cure palliative come le malattie oncologiche)
Per ogni area di sofferenza saranno selezionati interventi specifici costruiti ad hoc in base al progetto terapeutico del paziente e in linea con la letteratura scientifica attuale.
