Abstract
The young chronically psychiatrically disabled adult (YAC) is a challenging new clinical subgroup for whom specialized treatment approaches are being developed. This paper examines the role of the partial hospital in the treatment of YACs and asserts that it should play a central role in such treatment. Specific YAC partial-hospital program characteristics are explicated.
