TL;DR

A model clinic has been shown to be the proving ground for finding new solutions to old but easily forgotten issues and the successful restoration of two-thirds of seriously ill patients to a useful place in society strengthens the conviction that the model concept holds great promise for the future of comprehensive psychiatric centers.

Abstract

The issue of the longitudinal view needed to be raised in order to support a functional concept of psychiatric disorders and their treatment. A model clinic has been shown to be the proving ground for finding new solutions to old but easily forgotten issues. Our approach has resulted in the successful restoration of two-thirds of seriously ill patients to a useful place in society. This has strengthened our conviction that the model concept holds great promise for the future of comprehensive psychiatric centers.
