title: Mental health day units: users' views.
abstract: This article describes clients' perspectives on psychiatric day care units in an area in the South of England. The results of a small-scale research project show that clients from different localities have similar perspectives and feelings about the units. It is demonstrated that, in the clients' view, the units achieve many of their aims and fulfil needs that supersede the initial purpose.
