Day-hospital programs for children and adolescents in eight West German cities and in Zurich, Switzerland.
The information presented in this paper was the outgrowth of a symposium held in Dusseldorf, West Germany, in 1985. This gathering of professionals involved in day psychiatric treatment of children and adolescents from German-speaking areas represented a first step in a "getting-to-know-you" process. The data collated from the meetings are presented briefly in both tabular and narrative form and include a description of the history and current status of day-hospital treatment as a therapeutic modality in West Berlin, Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Kassel, Cologne, Mannheim, Marburg, Munich, and Zurich.
