Abstract

1. The study considered 1,638 patients consecutively admitted to the psychiatric section of a university hospital.

2. The duration of illness prior to hospitalization, as determined by admission policy, was reasonably short, i.e., they tended to have "acute" illnesses.

3. No "modern" therapies were used. Outcomes are judged to represent spontaneous outcomes.

5. The criteria were those of social adjustment or lack of it.

6. Results are presented in the tables.
