PSYCHIATRIC DAY HOSPITALS
MICHAEL CRAFT M.D., M.R.C.P. ED., D.P.M.
The literature on psychiatric day hospitals is reviewed and an account is given of day hospital practice in England in 1956, with respect to types of patients treated and treatment employed. It was found that day hospitals were treating a wide variety of mental illnesses, and that those treatments commonly employed in mental hospitals could also be used in day hospitals.
