Abstract
Modern psychiatric service encourages the development of day-care psychiatric activity, and the successes of its organisation are estimated according to the results of the treatment of mental disorders, changes in the behaviour, subjective feeling and the stage of recovery of the diseased. Day-care hospital represents a very favourable solution for linking the wider social community and traditional institutional psychiatry. Through its manner of treatment, psychotherapy of partly hospitalised patients (day-care hospital) enables a constant maintenance of connection with the environment. The number of chairs in the day-care hospital equals the number of beds in the in-patient hospital care. The basic meaning of the day-care hospital is life in reality. An interdisciplinary team of experts is involved in the operation of the day-care hospital. In this paper, we will briefly present the work of the day-care hospital at the II B Department of the Neuropsychiatric Hospital Dr. Ivan Barbot in Popovača.
