A Two-Year Follow-Up Study of the Work Performance of Former Psychiatric Patients
Abstract
This study presents employers' evaluations, at two time intervals, of the work performance of 181 former psychiatric patients diagnosed as either schizophrenic or psychoneurotic. Compared with matched controls who had no history of psychiatric treatment, subjects in the schizophrenic subgroup earned lower work performance ratings and fewer promotions; psychoneurotic subjects, however, earned work ratings essentially comparable with ratings of their control group and were about equally likely to be promoted.
