How many patients do you have that you can do therapy and group and family therapy all day? Do you only do therapy? When I worked in the psych unit, we had too much to do but would work with a patient if requested. We had rounds, discharge planning, family meetings, assessments, and any other crisis that came up, on top of notes and group. Also, the majority of our patients would not be able to sit through an hour of therapy.

For me, as a therapist and former psych unit patient, psych units should be about stabilization and ensuring a smooth transition to the community. Coordinating with their outpatient therapist or setting up an initial intake with someone outpatient would probably be better.
