The Pattern of Discharge and Readmission in Norwegian Mental Hospitals, 1936-1963
Abstract
This analysis of over 17,000 first admissions to psychiatric hospitals in Norway during the period 1936 to 1958 is based upon three separate four-year cohorts of patients admitted for psychoses. The data do not support the theory that the current rising rates of discharge and readmission reflect a "revolving door" pattern of multiple readmissions which can be traced to the introduction of psychoactive drug therapy.
