Institutional care for those suffering from a mental disorder has undergone great changes throughout history. The objective of this work is to describe the evolution of institutionalized psychiatric care from the asylum to the day hospital. A bibliographic review study was carried out with the use of theoretical level methods, such as historical-logical. Google Scholar and the words asylum, psychiatric hospital, partial hospitalization and day hospital were used as a search engine, which allowed the location and review of the articles used in the research and listed in the bibliographic references. Incipient attempts at care and the lack of effective treatments for psychic disorder led to the creation of institutions, mostly run by religious orders. Changes occurred in the institutions and in their operation that led to modifying the treatment of patients with the creation of services in general hospitals, partial hospitalization to differentiated care in the community. The need to develop and update care in psychiatric hospitals improved the service offered and led to the creation of day hospitals, spread globally as an effective care option.

Palavras-chave : asylum; psychiatric hospital; partial hospitalization; day care unit.
