Abstract
In a seven-year follow-up study indices of the course of schizophrenic disorders treatment (relapses and re-hospitalizations) were compared in two groups of 40 patients each, receiving either "community-based" (experimental group) or "individual" treatment (controls). More favorable indices were obtained in the group of patients receiving community-based care. (ed.)
