THERAPYAbstract
Psychiatric occupational therapy normally takes place in common-rooms and not in separate sick rooms. The specific group structure resulting from this can be exploited therapeutically. We have reported in detail elsewhere3 that the patients in a psychiatric hospital do not live beside each other without interpersonal relationships, but that they form a more or less close community, which however mostly came into existence by external circumstances. The simple observation of life in a section for the chronically i1l shows that each patient has a certain place in the community and clearly outlined tasks within it: to clean the floor, to make the beds, to go and get the meals, to clean the dishes, to tidy up, to care for the bedridden.
