Abstract: It has been estimated that over 80 per cent. of the beds in mental hospitals are occupied by long-stay patients (Royal Commission, 1957), and it has also been shown that the chances of discharge for patients who have remained continuously in a mental hospital for 2 years have so far been rela-tively small (Brown, 1960); they have ranged from 1 in 12 in the third year of stay, to 1 in 100 after 10 years, and 1 in 200 after 30 years.
