Abstract
The use of the term client, rather than patient, has become frequent in psychiatric hospitals. There is little evidence to justify this change, so this study surveyed the views of the in-patients in a community based psychiatric hospital to establish the term they prefer. It concludes that a dear majority of people admitted to a psychiatric hospital think of themselves as patients, not clients.
