Abstract
This paper examines some of the determinants of the length of psychiatric hospitalization, particularly the severity of psychiatric symptoms and the family's attitude toward the patient. The present study suggests that psychiatric symptoms are more important than family attitude. Other variables, particularly marital status and length of past hospitalization, also appear to be important. Some of the methodological difficulties associated with a study of this nature are discussed.
