  • Title: [When you see the light of day at the hospital].

    Abstract:
    Day Hospital delivers complex treatments to patients with psychiatric illness such as psychosis and severe neurosis. Interdisciplinary work is necessarily required by this device. Our Day Hospital is organized in three sections: community area, clinical area and education and research. Our practice isn't exempt of hindrances, which relate not only to the clinical specifics we deal with, but also with the social, cultural and legal contexts it develops in. Since the approval of the Mental Health National Law (no. 26657) we believe the Day Hospital, our old resource, is given the opportunity to keep fulfilling a space as a proposal both fresh and institutional. The mentioned law states that Day Hospitals are to be promoted as a means for social, labor and community inclusion of patients. We have no doubt on the legal advance this represents but, on daily practice, issues will persist until a strong change decision is shown, implemented as public health policies aligned with the law.
