Extract

For many years the need has been felt for a means of measuring in a reasonably accurate manner the amount of deterioration present in mental patients.

The old criterion of saying that a patient is well because he is capable of working well in the laundry or garden or doing skilful work in the handicrafts department, combined with giving an impression of recovery to the doctors and relatives, is not accurate enough for modern standards.
