In recent years, studies of person-disorder interactions, of problems of identity among discharged patients, and of subjective experiences of schizophrenia have made important contributions to our understanding of the posthospital fate of people with severe mental illness. Building on an earlier study of the experiences of a group of former mental patients in the community, this article attempts to highlight some of the issues and dilemmas that may arise for people with severe mental illness over time in their efforts to sustain a sense of identity and value that is not wholly defined or engulfed by mental illness.
近年来，关于个体与疾病相互作用的研究、出院患者的身份认同问题研究以及精神分裂症的主观体验研究，都为我们理解重度精神疾病患者出院后的命运做出了重要贡献。本文以早期对一组社区中曾经的精神疾病患者经历的研究为基础，试图突出一些重度精神疾病患者随着时间推移，在努力维持一种不完全由精神疾病所定义或吞噬的身份感和价值感时可能出现的问题和困境。
