title: [The extent and quality of intensive therapy measures in psychiatry].
abstract: An epidemiological study considered all new admissions that were the subject of intensive therapy in three Leipzig clinics from October 1, 1983 to September 30, 1984, comparing them with a randomly selected control group. From a total of 1,928 admissions, 314 underwent intensive therapy, 46 of these under the intensive therapist (anesthetist, internist, surgeon). Indications arising out of intensive medicine resulted in the transfer of 1.2% of all admissions to other institutions. Extent and quality of the intensive measures was in general judged to be good.
