Abstract

Difficult management issues, frequently involving many agencies, arise when psychotic adolescents need admission to hospital. We review the recent experience of a community-based adolescent team and identify factors that appeared to inhibit effective management at times when admission was necessary. Suggestions are made about how to develop the flexible arrangements necessary to facilitate appropriate management.
