International Journal of Social Psychiatry, 1989, vol. 35, issue 2, 173-180

Abstract: Of 336 newly referred cases of neurosis 170 (51 %) were offered psychotherapy. The factors associated with being offered this treatment were: a diagnosis of anxiety neurosis or phobic neurosis, not having had a history of deliberate self harm, living not more than 20 miles from the hospital, being less than 51 years of age, and being either married or single. Sex, duration of disorder, socio-economic status, employment status, a history of alcohol abuse and a family history of mental disorder had no significant bearing on whether or not patients were offered psychotherapy.
