The "Able-Bodied" Rehabilitee

N. L. GITTLESON M.A., D.M., D.P.M.1

1 Consultant Psychiatrist, Middlewood Hospital, Sheffield 6

92 per cent. of a two-year sample of 53 "able-bodied" rehabilitees entering a Ministry of Labour Industrial Rehabilitation Unit were found to be psychiatrically ill. Their previous failure to be thus recognized was due mainly to having had minimal contact with medical agencies and a shorter period of time off work.
