A study of environmental factors significant in the readmission to mental hospitals of schizophrenic veterans receiving trial visit supervision from the Veterans Administration Hospital mental hygiene clinic, Providence, Rhode Island, from January 1, 1951 to December 31, 1951

Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University / This thesis will be an attempt to study long-standing frustrations of this nature with regard to their effect on the
veteran's adjustment, and the methods and techniques employed
by the social worker in seeking to alleviate or modify the
emotional environment of the trial visit patient. The adjustment
of the patients studied in the thesis will be evaluated
from the standpoint of ability to function in the areas of family, employment, and community relationships.
In the mental hygiene clinic the social worker functions
within the discipline of the team approach by psychiatrist,
psychologist, and social worker. The role of the psychiatric
social worker will be considered within this context throughout
the thesis.
