Abstract

abstractWard community groups have been mostly lost from acute psychiatric in‐patient settings in recent years with changes related to care in the community and altered therapeutic expectations. This paper outlines the re‐introduction of ward community groups to such a setting and, by using the quantitative measure of patient complaints and qualitative observations, offers evidence for their usefulness as a therapeutic medium, beneficial to the acute psychiatric in‐patient ward, and as a container for disturbed states.
