The authors' model for the hospital treatment of severely disordered adolescents and young adults calls for a categorization of the patient's major characteristics that are relevant to treatment along six axes: symptoms and signs, previous course of the disorder, social functioning, work or school functioning, family or other living situation, and sense of identity.
