Abstract:
Crisis hospitalization has both an affirmative rationale in the community movement and a secondary rationale of cost containment. Brief hospitalization within the psychiatric emergency service offers intensive treatment and a rapid return to the community for the patient and is cost-effective for the mental health system.
