Analytic Attitude

The concept of the analytic attitude has helped to describe how psychotherapists approach the clinical situation. But with the acceleration of administrative change in modern health care delivery, clinicians are under increasing pressure to represent their patients' needs to their organization's career (that is, non-clinical) managers. This article suggests how therapists can fruitfully involve themselves in influencing the direction of organizational change to avoid (1) unnecessary compromise of their patients' interests and (2) the market-led trend to depersonalize the unique encounter we call therapy.

Modern Health Care

If only some wise person or group had established land grant medical schools as well as technical colleges, the gravitational tug of medical science into laboratories would have been balanced by the daily correctives which the practical art of caring for the ill and ailing brings. This might have avoided the dissociation and fragmentation which seem to follow so regularly when a medical school-hospital collaboration is transmogrified into a teeming unzoned megalopolis-the modern health-care-delivery-center-jungle.

Traditional Practitioners

Few would dispute the claim that traditional medical practitioners provide most of the health care in Africa today. The reasons for this are several and include the availability and accessibility of traditional practitioners to the mass of people and faith in their skills. In recent years much discussion has centered on the issue of integrating traditional practitioners into the modern health care delivery system (Good, 1977). Strong arguments have been mustered on either side of this question, and they are often presented with heated emotion. The degree and level of integration is also hotly disputed, and shades of opinion range from advocating dialogue between the two systems to proposing that traditional practitioners be “legitimized” and integrated into the modern health care delivery system. Most opinions on this broad subject area have been publicly voiced or written by those whose culture reference is western. We know very little about how traditional practitioners feel about the matter.
