Abstract
The systematic collection of experiences with the apallic syndrome is still relatively recent. But there are already visible outlines of the social problems. In my experience the problems differ greatly depending on the severity of the case, less severe cases occurring where remission is possible. More severe cases will have to remain institutionalized for ever or else receive constant care when released to their families due to their inability to develop any self-activity.
