    Author: Sederer LI.
    Journal: Epidemiol Psichiatr Soc; 2010; 19(4):291-5. PubMed ID: 21322501.
    Abstract:
    The author makes the case for the necessity of inpatient psychiatric services in a comprehensive, community based, system of care. The editorial begins with an historical perspective on mental hospitals. It then discusses acute and intermediate psychiatric inpatient units. A section also covers forensic units, also indispensable for a region or population of any size. The editorial concludes with a call for recognizing the purpose and value of inpatient services and thus using them most effectively.
