Since the early 1970s, delivery of care to people who are consid-
ered to suffer from chronic psychotic disturbances has been at a
crossroads. In 1983, the European Regional Office of the World
Health Organization (WHO), within its health economics pro- gramme,
encouraged international research on the economic impli- cations of
alternative strategies of care for those patients. Origi- nally, it
was intended to compare at least two or more strategies of managing
chronic psychotics, especially strategies which place dif- ferent
emphasis on inpatient and outpatient care. Instead of designing a
fully coordinated, multinational, multi- centre study based on a
mutually agreed on study protocol, we de- cided on the following: -
To meet with researchers interested in the social, psychological,
and economic features of health care for chronic psychotic pa-
tients - To stimulate ongoing research projects or to initiate new
ones - To discuss quite different approaches from international and
- terdisciplinary points of view - To review and revise the
diversified end products of such an open research process For this
purpose, we outlined a broad range of topics which could be
included in the study: - Methodological problems of evaluation in
this field - Social and economic implications of psychiatric
deinstitutiona- zation - Scenarios of various degrees of
deinstitutionalization - Assessment of (hospital) costs of the
treatment for chronic sc- zophrenic and other psychotic patients -
Public and private costs of the main treatment strategies -
Time-expenditure analyses of chronic psychotic patients
