Extract

Admission of patients with neurotic or personality disorders to psychiatric hospitals is fraught with a number of difficulties. These arise partly from the fact that the majority of psychiatric hospitals are designed primarily for the needs of psychotic patients. Other difficulties come from the character of the patients themselves and from the complexities of the treatment they require.
