This paper outlines a three-year controlled study, funded by the Department of Health and Social Security, which started at the Maudsley Hospital in October 1987. The research will compare seriously mentally ill patients maintained outside hospital on the daily living programme (DLP) with standard hospital-based care, and devise a multi-disciplinary training course in DLP for mental health care providers. It will be the first UK attempt at controlled replication of successful controlled studies from North America and Australia, and the first anywhere to devise systematic training in the approach.
