Abstract: Psychiatric discharge planning is a function in search of a focus. Although it is a complex clinical task requiring a high degree of skill and knowledge, it has not yet been described systematically or linked to theory. Further, inpatient social workers have conducted little research regarding psychosocial characteristics of patients served, discharge interventive methods used, and their differential effectiveness. This thesis is intended as an initial attempt to articulate and evaluate a discharge planning program specifically designed for one subset of the psychiatric population within a suburban private voluntary teaching hospital--those patients who pose the greatest number of difficulties and dilemmas in discharge planning for social work, the institution, and the community.
