[A model of the levels of functioning for psychiatric medicosocial expertise]

Based on the examination of 302 schizophrenic patients there have been established criteria for assessment of social functioning of mental patients. The clinical model holds nine levels of functioning. Assessment criteria will, we believe, help in bringing off unanimity as to definition of levels of social functioning, developing programmes of rehabilitation of disabled persons tailored to the individual, assessing the efficiency of exposure to medical-rehabilitative treatments over time.
