Abstract

369 patients of a crisis intervention center, treated in 1985, were seen in follow-up-studies 3 and 9 years after admission. The catamnesis was done by an open questionnaire and standardized inventories. The mean value of hospital stay was 3.98 days. Complete data were received from 144 resp. 138 persons. 9 persons died by suicide during the first three years after admission. During the next 6 years most of the patients were stabilized. Minimal effectivity and stability was observed for alcoholics and drug dependent patients.
