Abstract
Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients in special security units in New York State psychiatric centers are examined over time. The percentage of recently dangerous patients increased dramatically over the first three years of "official" operation. In addition there were increases in the percentages of patients with physical problems, alcohol/drug problems, and mental retardation diagnoses.Entities:
