Intake in the Brooklyn Veterans Administration Mental Hygiene Clinic: A Comparative Study of Seventeen Cases in Which Intake Was Done by the Psychiatrist Only and Seventeen Cases in Which It Was Done on a Team Basis
Abstract
The study undertaken here will attempt to evaluate the two very different intake procedures which have been followed in the Mental Hygiene Clinic of the Brooklyn Regional Office of the Veterans Administration. It will attempt to determine whether, when the social worker and psychologist, as members of the treatment team, participate with the psychiatrist in the intake process, treatment which follows is more successful than when the psychiatrist alone sees the patient at intake. It will further seek to ascertain whether an economy of professional time and service is effected when intake is done on a team basis.
