Abstract:
:There has been partial implementation of the Saskatchewan Plan to replace the large centralized public mental hospital with small regional centers stressing community care. Intensive treatment of new patients together with intensive rehabilitation of old patients has greatly reduced the accumulation of chronic patients in the Saskatchewan Hospital, Weyburn. As a result there has been a significant fall in the population of the hospital from 1,478 in January 1963 to 443 at the end of 1966. Follow-up studies indicate that patients are doing well in community care and that there are no undue strains on community tolerance. This experience challenges justification of the continued existence of large isolated mental hospitals.
