Learned helplessness and preparedness in discharged mental patients

Learned helplessness and preparedness in discharged mental patients Abstract This article reports on a study of learned helplessness and preparedness among former mental patients. Four dimensions that appeal to the intuition of learned helplessness were defined, but only one proved to be significantly related to recidivism. The results suggest that learned helplessness may serve a useful purpose for patients who do not wish to leave the hospital. This content is only available as a PDF. Author notes The authors would like to thank Joseph Mann for allowing them to carry out the study.
