✦ Synopsis
A major problem for many general hospitals is identifying those patients on admission who are in as much need for psychiatric treatment as they are for medical and surgical procedures. This article presents a scale of items which was developed to identify such patients with a minimum of error in just such settings. Its efficiency may originate in the unique manner in which the items were derived. The criterion group was obtained by searching for a specific pattern of scores on the MMPI.
