Book Description
In the past few years, there has been a major shift in the mental health care of child and adolescents from inpatient care to non-hospital community ambulatory settings. Economic pressures have primarily driven this change in service delivery. Insurance companies and managed care organizations have not only restricted access to hospitalization and limited length of stays but additionally have sharply reduced reimbursements for treatments. State and federal policies for inpatient treatment and reimbursement have followed similar trends. As a result, mental health planners have attempted to develop programs to deal with this trend of restricted inpatient care shifting treatment of children and adolescents to home and community settings. Some of these new programs are well planned and others are hastily planned and implemented. The pitfall to this community approach is that there is a population of chronically disturbed children and adolescents, and highly stressed parents often lacking adequate personal and family resource who may not respond to these new less restrictive, less costly community approaches which potentially may lead to an unsafe and dangerous situation for the child, adolescent, family and the community. With this in mind, the purpose of this book is to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information regarding child and adolescent outpatient, day treatment and community psychiatry. The emphasis of this book is to provide practical knowledge through clinical case illustrations and to explain various strategies in a detailed fashion.

In addition, the book offers feasible strategies for measuring outcomes and applying these results to meaningful clinical evaluations in PHP and IOP settings. It describes the process of accessing and using these intermediate services as well as additional treatment resources that may be necessary in the continuum of mental health care for youth. Key areas of coverage include: The history and purpose of mental health care and the role of day treatment programs for youth. Working with program administration and other stakeholders, identifying a patient population, and engaging community and referral sources.

Book Description
First published in 1994. The Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital has been treating severely emotionally disturbed adolescents for a number of years. During this time, they have had the opportunity to build upon the principles and techniques of acknowledged experts and leaders, and have gained a great deal of experience and wisdom ourselves. Our treatment teams had the time to deliver intensive, in-depth treatment, which included three weekly individual psychotherapy sessions, three weekly group therapy sessions, daily activity therapy, and intensive milieu program, daily ward meetings, weekly family therapy, and a daily therapeutic school program. The knowledge and principles described in this book are not only applicable to inpatient facilities but also valuable to practitioners in day hospitals, group homes, and outpatient practice.

Book Description
The life span of day treatment for children in the United States is relatively short, covering a period of about 50 years. Although the first 20 years saw little growth in the number of centers operating around the country, the concept of day treatment was recognized by the Joint Commission on Mental Illness and Health in 1961 as the most significant treatment innovation of this century. Enthusiasm for this treatment modality gained impetus from growing dissatisfaction among many mental health care providers who had no choice but to place children in a highly restrictive hospital environment. Day treat ment did not carry the stigma associated with inpatient placement. The children could now remain with their own families and within their own communities. The parents could be actively included in their child's treatment. This new modality avoided the short- and long-term negative effects of institutionalization, and there was a fa vorable cost discrepancy between day and inpatient mental health services. In more recent years, there has been growing evidence of the efficacy of day treatment as an intensive therapeutic environment for children and their parents. Despite these advantages, day treatment has continued to be underutilized in favor of inpatient treatment by both the psychiatric community and third-party payers. Only recently is it being acknowledged by some insurers as a therapeutically sound and financially advantageous alternative to inpatient services. Conse quently, it is showing signs of intense growth nationally.
