Treatment Settings

SummaryNinety-eight matched pairs of patients treated respectively on first admission in a general hospital psychiatric unit or a psychiatric hospital have been followed-up for from five to eight years. The periods of treatment received in either setting remained comparable, and only 3 per cent of patients were in-patients or day patients at five years, while 14 per cent were out-patients and 20 per cent attended their family doctor. There was no evidence in these patients of a transfer of chronicity to the psychiatric hospital, but patients with longer periods of treatment were noted to change hospital from both the general hospital unit to the psychiatric hospital, and in the reverse direction.

Therapeutic Context

Therapeutic communities have an important role in adult psychiatric care. Such a hospital unit is described within a Black psychiatric hospital in South Africa. However, owing to apartheid very few Black clinical psychologists have been trained. Translators frequently have to be used in the therapeutic context, which is an unorthodox approach. Nevertheless, various therapeutic groups are conducted. Demographic and clinical data for a 3 year period are presented, showing most of the patients to be male, unmarried and around 30 years of age. Schizophrenic conditions were the most common diagnoses, with problems of self-care and low self-esteem predominating. Although a readmission rate of 22.1% was noted the lack of adequate control measures in this study must be taken into consideration.
