โœฆ Synopsis

In a maximum security forensic hospital population (n = 339, relationships between three groups of patient factors (diagnostic d&z, patient histories, and hospital course) and two indicators of treatment effectiveness (length of hospitalization [LOH] and restoration of competency to stand trial) were analyzed. Schizophrenia, previous hospitalizations, felony charges, drug treatment refusal, involuntary medication, physical restraint, and absence of personalily disorders were associated with increased W H . Nonschizophrenic patients without histories of previous incarceration, and, paradoxically, drug treatment mfusers were relatively successful with competency restomtion. Implications of thesejndings and questions for future research are discussed.
