Community Care and the "Queequeg Syndrome": A Phenomenological Evaluation of Methods of Rehabilitation for Psychotic Patients
Abstract
An English day center for psychiatric patients had a low success rate when run on traditional lines. The authors present the theory that former psychiatric hospital patients are generally not accepted by the community as recovered but are given the new and damaging role of citizen-on-probation. They demonstrate that changes in the structure and program of the day center point toward new methods of rehabilitation aimed at helping patients combat the "Queequeg syndrome."
