Rehabilitation of the Young Schizophrenic Patient

B. W. DURRANT M.R.C.S. L.R.C.P., D.P.M.1

1 Senior Psychiatric Registrar, St. Augustine's Hospital, Chartham Down, nr. Canterbury, Kent

A programme to ease the transition of young schizophrenic patients from hospital to home is described, in which the patient, his parents and the hospital are integrated by social and counselling groups.

The patient's reluctance to establish social contacts is overcome by the use within the hospital of a Youth Club comprising patients and their normal peers. The parents' role in the patient's rehabilitation is emphasized and encouraged by the free exchange of information and the elucidation and correction of misconceptions and unhealthy attitudes during group discussions.
