The Relationship

Depression is one of the most common mental health problems in the elderly, but there is little consensus about the best way to assess depression in the aged. The relationship between the CES-D and the ZUNG self-report depression scales was investigated in seventy-eight elderly people with osteoarthritis (mean age 71). The correlation between the scales was r = .69, with the CES-D classifying 15 percent of the participants as depressed, as compared to 6 percent by the ZUNG. Psychological symptoms had the strongest relationship with overall depression scores on both scales. No sex differences were found on psychological items on either scale, but females reported more somatic symptoms on the ZUNG. People over age seventy-four reported more psychological symptoms than their younger counterparts.

Critical Movement

This chapter analyses the influence of Franco Basaglia and the organization ‘Psichiatria Democrática’ on the Spanish critical movements. These movements appeared in 1971 and were organized through a clandestine group known as the ‘Psychiatric Coordinator’. This organization linked professionals (mainly young psychiatrists) who had initiated innovative experiences in various psychiatric hospitals. These developments generated conflict when opposing the norms of the dictatorship. From 1975, and especially after the approval of the 1978 Constitution, the critical movement was a force for change in mental health structures in Spain, through the established organization, the Spanish Association of Neuropsychiatry. This effort made it possible to generate the psychiatric reform in 1985 that advocated community mental health and deinstitutionalization policies. Franco Basaglia began his contacts with the Spanish critical professionals in 1970, and the relationship was maintained periodically until 1980, the year of his death.

Treatment Order

BackgroundThe community treatment order (CTO) is the legal framework by which people in the community are compelled to accept treatment. Both antipsychotic long-acting injections (LAIs) and CTOs are used to address treatment non-adherence.AimsTo investigate the relationship between CTOs and LAI use in patients with schizophrenia.MethodPrescribing, demographic and CTO data were collected for patients from four community mental health clinics in Melbourne, Australia, in 1998 and 2002.ResultsAgainst a background of increasing use of oral second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) medication and decreasing use of LAIs, the rates of CTO implementation doubled from 13% to 26% of patients with schizophrenia between 1998 and 2002. Proportionally more patients with a CTO are prescribed LAIs rather than oral SGAs.ConclusionsThe relationship between receiving an LAI and being subject to a CTO is significant, and reflects the consideration given to enhancing adherence in a community mental health setting.
