Follow Up Studies

From 1971 to 1974, 100 young drug abusers were registered in a treatment program of a general mental hospital. Following treatment, the patients were personally interviewed by the author in 1975 and 1977. The aim of the project has been to study the adequacy of conventional psychiatric treatment of young drug abusers. Subgroups of patients with different developmental profiles in the observational period are analyzed. The reliability of one follow-up is tested against another follow-up approximately 3 years later.

Different Types

Varied and apparently ideologically incompatible systems of health care are available in many developing countries. Patients move freely between them, receiving care serially or simultaneously from different types of healers. Therapy managing is an anthropological term used to describe how choice of health care is made by an informal group that forms around the patient. The author's experiences while running a community-based psychiatric treatment program in Botswana are discussed in terms of his interaction with patients' managing groups.

Psychiatric Day Treatment

Social reinforcement provided by staff was made contingent upon bringing folders to class in a psychoeducationally oriented psychiatric day treatment program. Compliance was readily fostered by this approach. It was concluded that assumptions regarding the unamenability of psychiatric populations to social reinforcement are unwarranted. Research implications of this finding for psychoeducationally oriented psychiatric treatment programs are discussed.
