This edition has been reprinted with a foreword by Geoff Shepherd of the Fulbourn Hospital, Cambridge, UK, in which he surveys developments during the 1980s and looks forward to the pattern of psychiatric rehabilitation for the 1990s. Concerned with the needs of the psychiatric patient when maintaining or re- acquiring a normal life in the community it looks at rehabilitation in the specific context of clinical syndrome. For example, schizophrenia, drug abuse and alcohol abuse. Particular attention is given to social and domestic roles as well as employment, and to the newer forms of community-based rehabilitation.
