Readmission of Schizophrenic Patients Comparative Study of the First and Second Hospitalizations of 5 Male Adult Male Schizophrenic Patients Admitted for a Second Time to the New York State Psychiatric Institute in Manhattan Between 1952 and 1954

Irene Simard, Fordham University

Abstract

Background of the Study. Every profession accumulates significant principles which are derived from the individual experiences and observations of its practitioners. Over a period of time these theories are recorded and a rational and intellectual tradition provides a common frame of reference and facilitates communication. In social work "Although an intellectual tradition may exist in the widely separated minds of contemporary practitioners, some provision must be made for recording experiences and observations, and for disseminating them to the entire profession. The device selected must collect and present the rationally systematized observations of individual thinkers, separated by time and space but confronted with common technical problems."
