Abstrakt: Summary and Conclusions Two groups of regressed schizophrenic patients, 85 in total, were placed on successive six-monthtotal push programs at Fergus Falls State Hospital, Fergus Falls, Minn. The treatment program utilized an integration of electric shock, recreational, occupational, social, and psychological therapies. An evaluation of the success of the treatment was made by observing the differences between pre- and post-behavioral levels, as measured by the L-M Fergus Falls Behavior Rating Scale, and as measured by qualitative changes. Both groups showed a statistically significant amount of improvement as measured by the scale as well as considerable qualitative change for the better.
