Abstract
Summary Theoretical aspects of a Day Hospital approach in child psychiatry are formulated. The development of a Day Hospital for psychiatrically-disturbed children in Newcastle upon Tyne is described. Practical implications and future developments in the light of the three years′ experience of this Day Hospital are discussed. A comparison is made between the Day Hospital for psychiatrically disturbed children and the Special Day School for maladjusted children. Some implications for future national planning and for research into methods of therapy other than individual treatment by a psychiatrist or psychotherapist are mentioned.
