title: Social adjustment in rehabilitation.
abstract: A three years' follow up study was carried out to assess the efficacy of a psychiatric rehabilitation service in an urban/suburban English district of about 200 000 population, by examining, a cohort of 100 rehabilitees who used the service. This paper briefly outlines the types of residential facilities available to the service and it describes the results of investigating the community adjustment of their users whose social function and attitudes were examined using a variety of rating scales. It is concluded that a range of flexible, improved, training programmes and environments are essential to ensure the successful social adjustment of rehabilitees.
