A Survey of 200 Women Discharged from a Mental Deficiency Hospital

  • M. W. G. Brandon (a1)
Extract

The purpose of this survey was to assess the abilities and present status of all the adult women classed as feebleminded who have been discharged from the Fountain Hospital. This paper is not a comprehensive assessment, but a survey of these patients' past history, together with an interim report on their rehabilitation. In the majority of cases, the present whereabouts and occupation are known by the social worker and have been re-checked over the past eighteen months in the course of normal follow-up contacts.
