Sammanfattning

The purpose of this study was to gain knowledge of patients’ experience of the milieu at a Psychiatric Centre. As most psychiatric patients to day are living in their own homes, the psychiatric services must adjust and offer dayand night-care as well as outpatient services to cope with crises and training needs. Eleven patients using such a centre were interviewed about their experience. Qualitative data were analysed and themes exposed. The informants described the centre as a sanctuary where all the patients were allowed to participate in their own health process, and were given the time and space they needed. They felt welcome and respected. The crucial aspect was that they were allowed to participate without interference from the staff, but were taken good care of when they felt poorly. The patients decided the topics of conversations, however some topics where avoided. The staff always took care immediately if they were in trouble, otherwise they had to wait until it was their turn. The result show several paradoxes, like how to be taken care of without feeling belittled, how to let the patient participate in the decision-making process in the group and the activities at the centre.
