Reports an error in the original article by S. S. Kazarian and L. W. Joseph (Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, 1994[Apr], Vol 39[3], 189). Text was missing from the original article. The complete article is reprinted. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in PA, Vol 81:42749.) Reviewed the mental hospital care received by 6 adult male refugees from Iran, Iraq, Laos, and SomaliDiagnoses included schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, situational maladjustment, and depressive disorder. Need for hospitalization and overall case management appeared appropriate, but coercive measures specific to refugee status were used in 1 case, and consideration of culture and premigration might have led to a better understanding of 2 depressive cases.
