[Appraisal and rehabilitation of psychiatric patients - conclusions for semi-institutional centers in psychiatry].

The results of an analysis of the disablement of patients suffering from ental diseases (1364 newly invalid patients in the county of Dresden in the period from 1968 to 1975) of diagnostic groups of the International Classification of Diseases being important for the national economy (diagn. numbers 295-298, 300, 301, 305) are presented and the respective conclusions drawn. In the expert rehabilitation system, the semi-clinical establishments are an important chain-link because by means of occupational training at the workplace (displace therapy) residual capacities can be exactly appraised, occupational rehabilitation systematically instituted and thus early declaration invalidity prevented.
