  • Descrição: This paper presents the data and considers the factors and problems involved when migration precipitates schizophrenia and when schizophrenia follows movement. Three hundred and sixty-seven patients admitted between July 1, 1957, and June 30, 195 8 , were diagnosed as schizophrenic. Of these, I47 or 40 per cent had a history of migration preceding admission, 96 or 65 per cent of whom had apparently been free from evidences of schizophrenia before movements. Fifty-one of the 147 , or 35 per cent, had exhibited clear evidences of schizophrenia before they left home. There was no sex differential between those whose illnesses preceded and those whose illnesses followed departure; 47 men and 49 women were free from their psychosis before departure; 25 men and 26 women were schizophrenic when they migrated. The data demonstrate the necessity of thinking of migration, as well as any other changes in an individual's circumstances, as the result of the interplay of intrapsychic and social forces, as well as a dynamic factor that will influence subsequent adjustment. It is also necessary to disabuse oneself of preconceived notions as to why people move. It is also necessary, in dealing with the problems of migrants, to understand thoroughly the positive as well as the negative values of their culture of origin.
