Current Practice: A questionnaire survey of in-patient child psychiatry in the United Kingdom

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Child psychiatry in-patient units in the UK are widely distributed geographically. In the past there has been little co-ordination of their efforts. Some have been concerned about idiosyncratic diversity in their practice (Wrate and Wolkind 1991). The aim of this study was to investigate current practice. We wished to test whether previous impressions of idiosyncratic practice and standards were justified, and to examine the current state of this treatment in the context of recent reports (The Children Act 1989; NHS Executive 1994; Kurtz, Thornes and Wolkind 1994; NHS Health Advisory Service 1995).
