The authors generalize a 3.5th year experience of postclinical rehabilitation of mental patients with unfavourable forms of the disease and significant psychic defects in a special rehabilitative center which functions on the basis of an agricultural enterprise (a state farm). The organizational and methodological principles of post-clinical rehabilitation are given.
