Extract

An appreciable number of chronic schizophrenic patients otherwise destined to remain long-stay patients in mental hospitals, are able to live in the community if they undergo active rehabilitation. In this paper, an attempt is made to correlate the post-rehabilitation progress of long-stay schizophrenic patients with observations made during their rehabilitation.
