Extract

This paper describes the social and clinical progress of a group of male schizophrenic patients who left London mental hospitals during 1959 and were followed up for one year. The study was designed to test specific hypotheses concerning the association between family relationships and the course of the patient's illness (Brown et al., 1962).
