He had plenty of contact with psychiatric services, often in A & E, becuase of threats that he was not in control of himself, usually accompanied by angry exchanges when he was not given what he wanted. His social situation was precarious, unsupportive, and he was often adrift. There were non violent offences. Always, the NHS staff saw him to be a drug problem - in and out of hospital. as an awkward unsettled personality, with the common claim of a difficult childhood, never achieving a stable attachment, or a social status, with many social problems There was no one who could deliver observations of schizophrenia behaviour when not being testewd out by professional scrutiny.
