[Experiences and materials on internal sectorization of large psychiatric hospitals].

The city of Bremen is divided into 5 catchment areas ("sectors") for the care of psychiatric patients. Internal sectorization of the mental hospital was introduced by relating certain wards to certain catchment areas. The development of internal sectorization and its impact on the diagnostic and therapeutic work in the hospital as well as on the cooperation with external services is described.

[Model for a sociopsychiatric out-patient clinic? (author's transl)].

In the psychiatric social services of the Public Health Departments in Berlin (Charlottenburg, Spandau, Kreuzberg), data concerning the clients, the work of the coworkers and the quality of client care were collected. More than 80% of the clients of the psychiatric social service suffer from severe psychiatric disturbances: alcoholism, psychiatric geriatric illness and schizophrenia. This diagnosis range differs significantly from that of the physicians in a private practice.
