Hundred patients, before admission to the hospital, were considered candidates for transfer to a nursing home. After diagnostic work-ups 78 responded dramatically to appropriate treatment including continued rehabilitation and were discharged home. They were restored to their previous position in their family with inherent dignity to any human being. A new and positive attitude should be taken in the management of this condition.3 Diagnosis must be accurate if treatment is to give the patient the best chance of recovery.° The aura of pessimism concerning treatment that has prevailed for too long can now be dispelled with the therapeutic program available. The reconsideration of the chronic brain syndrome is justified.
