Abstract

Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) is a part of psychiatric treatment for persons with chronic mentally illness. In the past two decades, the importance of psychosocial rehabilitation is increasing gradually. The concept and approaches of PSR have been spreading steadily all over the world. It is a growing field in the developing countries like India. The information about history of psychosocial rehabilitation among the mental health professionals is inadequate. But one could see the route of this, even before our country got independence from British colonial rule. It is always happy to see pathways of any field or subject how it was evolved and developed. This is an attempt with available resources to bring out the history to the light.
