No. 152

March 16, 1959

H.G.C. Psychotic Applicants

The acceptance of psychotic persons for processing in the HGC is
forbidden by Board Minutes.

Psychosis is a loose term. Probably it has no real definition and
better meaning is needed here.

Therefore, we will define here persons we cannot accept for processing
and do forbid processing to them in the HGC.

1) Persons so anti-social in conduct as to constitute a serious menace
to persons and property.

2) Persons who are unable to physically care for themselves for mental
reasons and need escorts and nurses.

3) Persons requiring special housing and who are incompetent to move
about in the streets without the mental (not physical) guidance of an
escort.

4) Persons with long homosexual histories who cannot work.

5) Persons with communist or other criminal backgrounds.

I do not believe either "institutional histories" or electric shock
treatment backgrounds wholly qualify the term "psychosis", but these
should indicate some wariness.

The Hubbard Guidance Centre Division of the HASI may some day have
properly staffed and equipped hospitals. Until that day any attempt to
handle "psychotics" should be foresworn as these in a severe sense
need hospitalization.
