Abstract
The factors leading to the fall in the mental hospital population which started in England in 1954 are not fully agreed. By some, the introduction of the phenothiazine drugs was held to be of first importance: other writers have stressed the role of social and administrative factors—of energetic rehabilitation and discharge policies together with measures to provide community services for discharged patients.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
