In spite of the somewhat disordered development of day care for the mentally ill, the Psychiatric Day Hospital (PDH) has become accepted as an essential element in the mental health services. Several recent studies have defined a role for the PDH in the management of more acute psychiatric disorders (Creed et al, 1989), and this is likely to become increasingly important with the continuing reduction in the availability of in-patient facilities.
