Recent improvements in the treatment of psychotic patients (Ministry of Health, 1960; Registrar General 1957 and 1958) have, by contrast, drawn attention to the non-psychotic population of mental hospitals. This paper deals with this latter group. Their self-referent attitudes have been chosen for study as there is a persistent tradition in psychology which asserts their importance. This can be traced through McDougall (1923), the writings of Jung on Individuation (1939), Hilgard (1954), Sherif and Cantril (1947), Symonds (1951) and Carl Rogers (1951). Associated with this tradition is the concept that an important change in the attitude of a person to himself may lead to important changes in behaviour. This, if true, holds out hopes of therapeutic advance. This paper therefore studies the self-referent attitudes found in a characteristic sample population of non-psychotic patients in mental hospitals.

The statistics on mental hospitals published by the Ministry of Health (1957) show that the average length of stay for admissions to mental hospitals decreased in the period 1952–1956. According to the Registrar-General's Mental Health Supplement (1961) there was an average saving, between 1951 and 1958, of sixteen days for men and thirteen days for women, among patients staying less than one year. But these figures for stay only relate to the patients discharged each year, irrespective of the year of their admission, and furthermore we do not know what happens to particular groups such, for example, as schizophrenics. Although remarkable changes are occurring at the present time, study of them is hampered by lack of appropriate and up-to-date information.

Shortly after the introduction of therapeutic malaria into this country, the Ministry of Health and the Board of Control, in consultation with the London County Council Mental Hospitals Department, established a special centre for this treatment at Horton Mental Hospital. A separate villa in the hospital grounds was set apart for the work, and, through the interest, advice and help of Col. S. P. James, M.D., F.R.S., of the Ministry of Health, a laboratory was equipped and arrangements were made for the supply of malarial infective material to all parts of Great Britain. The work was begun in April, 1925, and during the seven years that have elapsed since then, 200 cases have been treated. These cases are all women, drawn from the various London County Mental Hospitals; recently, however, an annexe has been added to the centre, and facilities are now available for treating men also.

Background and Objectives: The current whistleblowing system has not been proven to help limit unethical behavior in organizations. This study examines the influence of the whistleblowing system in the Ministry of Health's civil servants on organizational commitment, organizational culture, whistleblower protection, professional attitudes, internal reporting, external reporting, anonymity, and use of hotlines. Methodology: This research was conducted at the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Sampling was carried out using probability sampling techniques with proportional random sampling. The sample population consisted of 98 people at the Directorate General of Health Development, Human Resources Development and Empowerment of the Ministry of Health, the Directorate General of Disease Control and Prevention, and the Directorate General of Pharmacy and Health. Data analysis was performed using chi-square and logistic regression. Results: The results obtained indicate that the intentions of State Civil Servants within the Ministry of Health are related to their perceptions of professionalism and internal reporting. Conclusion: The employees' perceptions of external and anonymous reporting are not related to the purpose of the whistleblowing system for employees of the Ministry of Health's State Civil Apparatus. Suggestion: It is recommended that the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Health move the reporting mechanism into the Ministry of Health Whistleblowing System application for easy access so that the Inspectorate General establishes standard operating procedures on legal protection and clarification for whistleblowers.

Various studies of the numbers of patients in mental hospitals have been made, e.g. Brooke (1963); General Register Office (1960); Gore and Jones (1961); Hassall, Spencer, and Cross (1965); Malzberg (1955); Norris (1959); Norton (1961); Registrar General (1958, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1964); Tooth and Brooke (1961), but little attempt has been made to find whether these numbers are subject to natural law. In this paper I have tried to establish this. These researches have been made on the patients of the Central Hospital, Warwick, which has been in continuous use since 30 June 1852. The case sheets of the older patients are accessible; the recent ones are also personally known.

The self-reliance of members needs to improve, especially on the initiative, creativity and innovation. From path analysis, member's self-reliance of tea smallholder farmer groups were affected from strongest to weakest by role of tea farmer groups, extension, the availability of capital, farming experience, age, land size, market opportunities, and work motivation.

The Future

The great changes that have occurred in mental hospitals over the last fifteen years due to improvements in treatment of both acute and chronic psychiatric illnesses are reflected in the dramatic running down of the long-stay patient population. The Ministry of Health (1961) and Tooth and Brooke (1961) envisaged a continuing fall in the number of beds for psychiatric patients, so that by the mid 1970s these would have been reduced by nearly 50 per cent. from their 1960 figure (3·4 to 1·8 per thousand population). This prediction has been criticized because it was considered too optimistic, while the implication that the mental hospital, as we know it today, might cease to exist has provoked controversy.
