Abstract

I have tried to show how a public hospital can give the high quality of care given by private residential centers. Except for our plan of having the child live with his family each weekend, there are no new concepts of care but rather an application of those principles of modern psychiatric care which are well known and which have been practiced for years by well known hospitals and social agencies. There must be a determination to resist pressure from many sources and a willingness to work with community agencies. If such a program can surmount the initial difficulties it can demonstrate by its treatment results the effectiveness of its work.
