Mowbray, Carol T.; Chamberlain, Philip
Psychology of Women Quarterly, v10 n4 p383-92 Dec 1986
Describes the experientially determined problems of long-term mentally disabled women. Reviews of 320 hospital records of patients in hospitals throughout Michigan showed significant sex differences for client age, marital status, living arrangement, diagnosis, functioning level, voluntary/involuntary status, admission information, medications, medical care and destination post-discharge. Discusses why women become psychiatric patients, discharge planning, and over-medications. (Author/KS)
