Extract

It has been shown (Wing and Giddens 1959, Wing 1960) that schizophrenics may benefit from a course at a Ministry of Labour Industrial Rehabilitation Unit. Psychiatric cases make “special demands on the staff time” (Ministry of Labour Gazette 1962) and if they comprise too high a proportion, may alter the atmosphere of the Unit from “industrial” to “hospital”. There follows a need for limitation by selection of such cases. Selection procedures however have not been fully worked out (Wing 1960).
