Patient Population and Treatment Programming

  • Chapter
Partial Hospitalization

Part of the book series: Applied Clinical Psychology ((NSSB))

Abstract

The “personality” of a partial hospitalization service is shaped and influenced by a myriad of factors. However, one element in particular that is crucial to the understanding of partial hospitalization programming is the patient population. The collective needs of the patients, clients, or members, as they are variously called, ultimately determine the trends that will occur in designing and implementing the clinical services. This chapter will explore the interrelationships between the patient population and partial hospitalization programming from a variety of vantage points.
