(2016) Social and community psychiatry, Dordrecht, Springer.
This chapter presents the complexity of definitions for and operations of a day hospital and a daycare centre, their historical development within social psychiatry and the main features of a well-designed framework for running and operating such structures. Those features include a multidisciplinary team and the use of mental institution, case management, psychotherapy interventions, psychosocial rehabilitation and recovery programmes as well as the essential networking of services offered. A detailed presentation of the Franco Basaglia Daycare Centre run by the Rural Development and Mental Health Association in the Northern Suburbs of Athens highlights the need for a change in the biomedical paradigm, as well as the clinical, institutional and theoretical prerequisites for avoiding the phenomena of chronicity and neo-institutionalisation in the community.
