| Popis: | The authors observed the management of 35 manic patients admitted to a 32-bed general hospital unit that emphasized milieu treatment. They concluded that the principles of treatment derived from the therapeutic community model--democratization and permissiveness--are generally incompatible with the effective treatment of manic patients, who can be a strong disruptive force on the patient and staff community. The authors describe approaches to managing manic patients in four phases--preadmission evaluation, and the postadmission, middle, and termination phases of inpatient treatment. They stress that milieu modifications are necessary to meet individual treatment needs. |
