Psychiatric Day Hospitals are likely to play an important role in the development of community psychiatry. Although they have existed in Britain for approximately 25 years, there is much that remains unknown about them. The present is a report of the functioning of a Day Hospital over a period of ten years. Stress is laid on (a) the source of patient referrals; (b) the diagnostic categories of the patient, and (c) the follow-up of patients after discharge.
