Treatment for children of volatile psychotic adults in the adult psychiatric setting.
The authors describe a unique program for the treatment of troubled children of adult psychiatric patients at a Veterans Administration hospital. The location of this program within the adult setting greatly facilitated the successful treatment of these children. The program can also be a valuable addition to the treatment of adult patients, especially patients who are chronically ill and emotionally volatile and have been particularly difficult to treat.
