Abstract
Children admitted to a psychiatric hospital were compared to emotionally disturbed children receiving services in special classes within the public schools. There were few differences found between the groups. The presence of a "critical event" leading to the need for hospitalization was explored. Implications for practice are discussed.Keywords
