Abstract: | The demands on the design and subsequent built environment for psychiatric treatment are exacting. Inside and out, the facility must offer a safe, comfortable, nonthreatening, readily comprehensible set of surroundings to support the therapy taking place there. All messages sent by the environment must convey sincere respect for the patient and sensitive concern for his or her physiological and psychological well-being. |
