The care received by one patient in an acute psychiatric ward setting is described and analyzed by examining the relevant literature and the patient's perspective through a therapeutic relationship with a psychiatric nursing student. The patient is described as the new long stay patient and the reasons for the existence of this group are discussed. The paper concludes by stating the need to provide for those patients who are inappropriately occupying acute beds because there is no available alternative. This is found to cause problems for the individual, for psychiatric services and for nursing care.
