Abstract

The literature on consumer opinion about psychiatric day care is reviewed and a study of the views of day care attenders living in an inner city catchment area who are in prolonged contact with psychiatric services is presented. Attenders were broadly satisfied with their care. Analysis of their verbatim comments suggested that attenders perceived the value of attendance at a day unit in social rather than therapeutic terms. The implications of this finding are discussed.
