  • Title: The TAPS Project. 7: Mental hospital closure--a literature review of outcome studies and evaluative techniques.
    Author: O'Driscoll C.
    Journal: Br J Psychiatry Suppl; 1993 Apr; (19):7-17. PubMed ID: 8484933.
    Abstract:
    Various techniques have been used to assess the results of 'deinstitutionalisation'. This paper reviews these outcome studies, most of which have concluded that a new long-stay group will replace the old long-stay patients, and that a residual group of ageing patients, mostly with organic syndromes, is difficult to accommodate in the community.
