Extract

In 1954 a programme of “occupation and liberalization” was started at this hospital. Attempts to assess this programme were made and have been reported (Clark and Hoy, 7; Clark and Oram, 8). As a result of these surveys, we possess a complete list of the male patients in the hospital in October 1954 and February 1961, showing the work they were doing at these times; many men's names appear in both lists. This paper reports the analysis of these lists and some interesting facts that emerged.
