Strategies of rehabilitation in the Day Hospital.
A correct and fruitful rehabilitation strategy should consider the following points: (1) the achievement of a psychic equilibrium with a reduction of the psychopathological symptoms; (2) the evaluation of the psychological handicap; (3) a profile of the abilities of the subject that undergoes rehabilitation. You can easily achieve the first two points during hospitalization. The third point can be achieved through the study of the interaction of the subject with his or her environment. This study can be carried out in the Day Hospital where, through groups of psychotherapy, family counseling and various sociotherapeutic activities, it is possible to increase and improve the ability of the subject to relate with the others and to cope adequately with his or her environment. In this paper we present the philosophy and the therapeutic strategies of the Day Hospital of the Psychiatric Department of the University of Milan.
