The Social Adjustment Scale Self-report (SAS-SR) was completed by chronic schizophrenics (N = 82) living in Nithsdale, in Dumfries and Galloway region. Relatives also assessed patients' adjustment. The questionnaire response indicated that scrutiny of the form by a professional immediately after completion is necessary. Patients' and relatives' assessment of the patients' overall adjustment correlated very closely, thus suggesting a schizophrenic can satisfactorily describe his own adjustment. The patients were less well adjusted than a normal community population in all areas except the parental role. The SAS-SR highlights for each individual where many of his problems lie, and therefore may act as a guide to specific rehabilitative measures.
