They should really fix that in GURPS Horror!

Heck if you want to model the sanitarium experience of CoC, just have them committed, and use the Time-Usage sheet...the time you spend healed earning points to buy off the newly gained disads.

I think the rules are already there.

Sorry, I missed this post. This is a very good answer!

But what about the therapists? In Call of Cthulhu, some sanitariums are good while some others are not... Some are even dangerous for the PC. So a time use sheet is not sufficient...

Comparison with damage and illnesses: there are First-Aid rolls, Diagnosis rolls, Physician rolls, Surgery rolls... For mental problems, there is a psychology skill but no psychiatric one. All Psychiatrists are not equally skilled, though...
