Cross-National Study of Diagnosis of the Mental Disorders: Some Comparisons of Diagnostic Criteria from the First Investigation
Abstract
A sample of patients from a New York and a London mental hospital were compared so as to point out any differences between the two hospitals in the criteria associated with a hospital diagnosis of either schizophrenia or affective illness.
