Abstract
SynopsisA group of male chronic schizophrenies in hospital for over two years was compared with a similar group attending a day hospital in respect of severity of handicaps and social circumstances. Inpatients were significatitly more handicapped on all the measures used, and it was concluded that severity of handicaps was the main reason for the failure to discharge them from hospital. The implications for the planning of services for the chronic psychiatric patient are discussed.
