This contribution is an attempt to express in numerical terms the value of out-patient consultation and treatment. The group of cases considered are the first 150 who presented themselves at the Psychiatric Out-Patient Department of the Swansea General Hospital, and they are consecutive and unselected. The period during which these cases came under observation for the first time extends from March, 1933, to October, 1934; and, in assessing results, the state of the patients is taken as at December 31, 1934.
∗ “Social reinstatement” means that the patient is able to take up his former employment or occupation and to lead a life completely free from supervision in his leisure time.Google Scholar
