Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to describe the research priority areas identified at the 2013 Geneva Declaration on Person-centered Health Research and to provide information on their implications for the mental health sector. Person-Centered Health care (PCH) articulates science and humanism for a bio-psycho-socio-cultural understanding of health and for the undertaking of health care actions from individual interventions to people’s health to general health policy, guided by the ethical principle of respect for the autonomy, dignity, and responsibility of each person. The main areas of research focus include: Conceptual, terminological, and ontological issues; research to enhance the empirical evidence of PCM main components such as PCH informed clinical communication; PCH-based diagnostic models; person-centered care (PCC) and interventions; and people-centered care (PCC), research on training and curriculum development. The implications for dissemination, implementation, and eHealth are also discussed here.
