Extract

This report refers to investigations on a group of children in Smith Hospital, Henley-on-Thames (O'Gorman, 1958). Smith Hospital is a long-stay children's psychiatric unit, predominantly for children diagnosed as psychotic and requiring hospital care. In particular, children are admitted where it is thought that the home environment is a factor in the maintenance of the child's psychosis or where the child's disturbance is such that the parents are no longer able to cope with it.
