Extract

In April, 1946, an experimental form of hospitalization for psychiatric patients was set up in Montreal.∗ This form of hospital, described by Ewen Cameron (1947), admitted any type of patient, the only criterion being that they should be well enough to stay at home over-night. To such an institution he gave the name of Day Hospital. At about the same time J. Bierer (1951) was experimenting in the same direction in this country. in connection with his attempt to extend the principles of “social psychiatry” to the everyday treatment of patients. Since then there have been several other short communications on the subject such as those of A. E. Moll (1951) and H. Gilmore (1952).
