Abstract
Comprehensive community follow-up programs may be considered essential in increasing the community adjustment of former psychiatric patients. Even intermittent hospitalization perpetuates dependency and hinders full rehabilitation in the community. Research findings are presented which indicate that subjects receiving post-hospital follow-up in the community show reduced hospital contact and recidivism and increased vocational success and satisfaction. Follow-up which offers moderate support and is distinct from the hospital, i.e., community-based, fosters the most independence and adjustment in its participants.
