Abstract

Predischarge ratings were used by a group of psychiatric patients to predict rehospitalization and work, family, and health adjustment for a period of 2 years following hospitalization. Predictions were derived from human interactions and not from psychological tests. Patients could not make predictions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
