Summary and Conclusions
This paper attempts to call attention to the fact that the patient released from the mental hospital is not a completely-solved social, psychiatric or economic problem; the number of such patients in extramural society is by no means inconsiderable. Further treatment is essential. Several guiding principles are set forth and two case histories are given by way of illustration.
