title: Rehabilitation needs of schizophrenic patients - a preliminary report.
abstract: 59 Feighner positive Schizophrenics were assessed for subjective rehabilitation needs using a specially designed schedule for the purpose. It was observed that employment and vocational rehabilitation were most sought after, psychosocial rehabilitation less so, and accommodation hardly at all. Both women and men had identical needs, and the necessity for individualised package programmes was identified. The implications of the findings are discussed.
