Extract

Hamilton and Salmon (1962) and Hamilton (1964) have investigated the effect upon male chronic schizophrenics, inter alios, of the following regimes: (a) working in a hospital industrial workshop, (b) occupational therapy and (c) no specific activity (the first study only). Hamilton (1964), considering both studies, concludes that the results “may be said to weight the available evidence in favour of the superiority of Workshop Therapy”. Certain points should be raised in connection with this conclusion.
