The Social Breakdown Syndrome-Some Origins

GRUENBERG, ERNEST M.·1967·American Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract

Some patients manifest progressive chronic deterioration chiefly by behavior changes which are observable as modifications of personal and social behavior. Thus, studies of inner psychic connection underlying symptom formation can be complemented by investigating how social functioning breaks down. Six years' study suggests that the social breakdown syndrome (SBS) occurs when certain reactions to the patient interact and resonate with some of his efforts to do what he feels will be acceptable. There is evidence that properly conducted mental health center services can interrupt this process.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
