1 The Neuropsychiatric Service, Cushing Veterans Administration Hospital, Framingham, Massachusetts.
Cushing is a new hospital, and our service is feeling its way by trial and error into its permanent pattern. The material above represents a fair cross section of our present activity. We hope in the future to be able to say more specifically what has been found useful, and what has been abandoned. Not only our psychiatric orientation but our total situation is dynamic. We believe that our organization has a contribution to make to the care and treatment of neuropsychiatric patients. We shall continue to evaluate ourselves and to welcome criticism.
