    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Mental Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Community mental health centers have inadequately served chronic mental patients.
    • State hospitals lack effective diagnostic and treatment systems for this population.
    • A gap exists in comprehensive mental health delivery for long-term care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel diagnostic system for chronic mental patients.
    • To establish a framework for prescriptive, whole-person treatment within state hospitals.
    • To define the role of state hospitals in the broader mental health system.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a diagnostic system based on developmental stages.
    • Application of the system to chronic mental patients.
