[Evaluation of the public health services concerned with the treatment of schizophrenic patients: an epidemiological approach].
Diagnostical problems are of importance for the organization of mental health services. The WHO data show that criteria for diagnosing schizophrenia are rather broader in Moscow than in London and this must be borne in mind, when comparing services. The rehabilitation system is more thorough in Moscow and Leningrad than in the U. K. So far as the central syndromes of schizophrenia are concerned the basic approach in two countries is practically similar. Both assume an interaction between a biological abnormality which is liable to be chronically handicapping and a social environment.
