title: Organic organizational research in a psychiatric inpatient setting.
abstract: The author proposes that most traditional methods of collecting data about life in mental health settings tend to produce inaccurate information. He suggests a procedure of information-gathering that may be useful and illustrates the theory of organic research in application with a case study of a psychiatric inpatient setting attempting to develop a recreational program.
