Innovations in
BEHAVIOURAL
HEALTH
ARCHITECTURE
Innovations in Behavioural Health Architecture is the most compre-
hensive book written on this topic in more than 40 years. It exam-
ines the ways in which healthcare architecture can contribute, as
a highly valued informational and reference source, to the provi-
sion of psychiatric and addictive disorder treatment in communi-
ties 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.
Additional chapters address the specifics of geriatric psychiatry and
its architectural ramifications in light of the rapid aging of societies
globally and provide a comprehensive compendium of planning
and design considerations for these places in both inpatient and
outpatient care contexts. Finally, the book presents an expansive
and fully illustrated set of international case studies that express
state-of-the-art advancements in architecture for behavioural
healthcare.
