In an exploration of residential instability and recidivism in chronic mental patients, 215 psychiatric admissions were followed for a year after the initial episode. In addition to an unusually high incidence of residential mobility, a relationship between mobility and number of hospitalizations was evident, as were isolation, disruptive family situations, and homelessness. The needed response of the mental health system is discussed.
在一项对慢性精神病患者的居住稳定性和再犯罪行为的探索中，对215名首次入院的精神病患者进行了为期一年的跟踪。除了居住流动性异常高之外，流动性与住院次数之间的关系也很明显，隔离、家庭关系破裂和无家可归的情况也是如此。文中还讨论了心理健康系统所需做出的应对措施。
