In this paper we have stressed the point that psychiatry as basic science cannot be ignored any longer in the whole of medical sciences represented in a general hospital. It is now time therefore to draw practical conclusions from this by mapping out a policy that takes psychiatry into its account. First of all it is necessary to decide on regions whereby the main aim is to get a clear picture of the various and different treatment possibilities, then within these regions far-reaching function agreements must be made in order to create and facilitate cooperation and exchange of staff by which the approchability of psychiatry for all kinds of patients can be fostered. In this way one can achieve an increase in the people's motivation to get treatment in those places where this is most desirable and most suitable. In order to realize this a centrally conducted out-patient treatment policy is needed with the clinical and semiclinical provisions required for that. It speaks for itself that herein the social aspects of psychiatry need to be integrated, this also to avoid costly overlapping of time and staff.
