Inter-Institutional Relocation and Its Effects on Psychosocial Status.

Mirotznik, Jerrold; Ruskin, Asa P.

Gerontologist, v25 n3 p265-70 Jun 1985

Studied the effects of relocation on the psychosocial status of institutionalized patients. Found that among certain subgroups of patients, relocation resulted in significant decreases in depression, alienation and distress, and in an improvement in self-concept for all patients regardless of age, sex, or race.
