Child Psychiatric

This follow-up study to determine the effectiveness of a child psychiatric unit found evidence to support a program emphasizing a predetermined period of hospitalization. Most measures of family satisfaction, behaviour and social function improved significantly. The unit appears to treat older children as well as those less than 9, children from fighting families as well as those with less fighting, and sexually abused children as well as physically abused children. The program includes: 2 weeks of preadmission evaluations, 5 weeks hospitalization and 5 weeks of follow-up, placement decisions made before admission, primary responsibility for front line staff and treatment programs composed of various combinations of techniques from a list of 65 possible techniques.

And Training

A school follow-up study of former child psychiatric patients was conducted at a research and training unit of the Michigan State Department of Mental Health. Particular attention was paid to the academic and behavioral adjustment of those former patients who were attending school hi public school settings. It was found that average intellectual performance and organic or severe psychiatric findings were central features of the quality of school adjustment. General behavioral descriptions are given for good and poor academic performance groups, and some suggestion is offered to schools which may have the task of helping children in their adjustment after treatment.
