Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS): Research and development
BACKGROUND: An instrument was required to quantify and thus potentially measure progress towards a Health of the Nation target, set by the Department of Health, "to improve significantly the health and social functioning of mentally ill people". METHOD: A first draft was created in consultation with experts and on the basis of literature review. This version was improved during four stages of testing: two preliminary stages, a large field trial i…
Scan: Schedules fonr Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry
After more than 12 years of development, the ninth edition of the Present State Examination (PSE-9) was published, together with associated instruments and computer algorithm, in 1974. The system has now been expanded, in the framework of the World Health Organization/Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration Joint Project on Standardization of Diagnosis and Classification, and is being tested with the aim of developing a comprehensiv…
The Functions of Asylum
Many of the functions of large psychiatric hospitals were those of asylum. As the structure of services has changed and the role of the large hospital has diminished, the necessity to continue to cover their functions has tended to be forgotten, partly because it has been thought that, even at best, they were purely protective. Such a point of view cannot be sustained. The functions of asylum have always been both refuge and recuperation. ‘Commun…

Influence of Family Life on the Course of Schizophrenic Disorders: A Replication
In spite of the new methods of treatment and care introduced during the past fifteen years, schizophrenic patients are still liable to relapse with a recurrence of florid symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations and disturbed behaviour, and great suffering can be caused to all concerned (Brown et al ., 1966). It has been shown that the onset of florid symptoms is often preceded during the previous three weeks by a significant change in the pati…
Institutionalism and Schizophrenia: A Comparative Study of Three Mental Hospitals, 1960-1968
This book studies the relationship between institutionalism and schizophrenia in the lives of mental patients. The authors observed schizophrenic patients in three different mental hospitals over a period of eight years. Their conclusions are important for the better management of institutions and for the future of extra-mural mental health services. The lives of long-term schizophrenic patients are strictly limited by their institutionalised env…

The Psychiatric Professions
THE PSYCHIATRIC PROFESSIONS By William A. Rushing Studies in the Mental Health Professions The setting of this incisive study is the psychiatric wing of a modern teaching hospital, and the subject is the conflicts, and the resolution of conflicts, within its professional staff. Basing his work upon personal observation and interviews with psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, and the recreation director, Dr. Rushing ha…
Influence of Family Life on the Course of Schizophrenic Illness
Much of the literature on the family of the schizophrenic patient has suggested that a number of common features are present in the personalities of the parents, and that these are significant in the aetiology of the illness. Most studies have been con cerned with the parent-child relationship and only a few with the adult patient and his parents. Tietze's description of mothers as generally over-anxious, obsessional, and domineering is typical (…
Pilot Experiment in the Rehabilitation of Long-hospitalized Male Schizophrenic Patients
A national register of disabled persons and facilities for their industrial rehabilitation and re-settlement in suitable work were set up after the passing of the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act of 1944. A description of the methods employed in the Industrial Rehabilitation Units and an evalua-tion of how they were carrying out their functions were included in the Piercy Report (1956). Until recently these units have not taken any very large pr…
Duration of Stay in Hospital of Patients suffering from Schizophrenia
During recent years many changes in methods of treatment and in administrative policies have been introduced into mental hospitals. There has been a more intensive use of the physical treatments, cul minating in the present preoccupation with the ataraxic drugs. Parallel with this has been the development of habit-training methods, group psychotherapy, the open door policy, and the therapeutic community. Finally, discharge policy has been altered…
