Since the 1920s psychiatric foster care has been considered as an important alternative to psychiatric hospitalization in the Netherlands. About one percent of the mental hospital patients are actually living with contracted families. These patients have their meals with their foster families, and stay there at night and at the weekends. Foster families can obtain support from hospital staff. Day-programmes, treatment and work rehabilitation, however, are usually undertaken in the grounds of the mental hospital. Some data will be presented on the characteristics, skills, social integration and consumer satisfaction of all 188 patients staying with 162 foster families. A comparison is made with a random-sample of hospital inpatients (N = 381), patients in sheltered homes (N = 179) and in day-centres (N = 86).
自20世纪20年代以来，荷兰一直将精神病寄养照料视为精神病住院治疗的一种重要替代方式。约1%的精神病院患者实际上与签约家庭生活在一起。这些患者与寄养家庭一起用餐，晚上和周末也住在那里。寄养家庭可获得医院工作人员的支持。然而，日间项目、治疗和工作康复通常在精神病院内进行。将展示关于188名与162个寄养家庭生活在一起的患者的特征、技能、社会融合和消费者满意度的一些数据。并与住院患者（N = 381）、庇护所患者（N = 179）和日间中心患者（N = 86）的随机样本进行比较。
