No fixed abode. A comparison of men and women admitted to an East London psychiatric hospital

JL Herzberg
London Hospital.

There is little information available on psychiatric disorder in homeless women. This study compares clinical casenote information of all homeless women admitted to an East London psychiatric hospital from 1971-1980 inclusive, with information on a cohort of homeless men admitted during the same period. The results show that the women appear to have been socially more stable than the men prior to admission and yet they have less satisfactory admissions to hospital. Possible reasons for these apparent inconsistencies are discussed.
