The authors studied the behavior of 67 psychiatric inpatients and the attitudes of their parents toward their hospitalization. They found that certain parental concerns at admission correlated with particular aspects of patient behavior and ability to engage in treatment during the first 6 weeks of hospitalization. These findings have implications for the management of inpatient treatment.
