Business Trip

Recently in Paris, a new book appeared on sale under the written title, compiled by two French psychiatrists. One of the authors (Ch Vallon) is the senior physician of the hospital for the mentally ill near Paris (Asile d'alienes de Villejnif), and the other (Ar. Marie) is the physician-director de la colonie familiale de Dun-sur-Aaron (Cher). Both authors were official delegates to the international congress of doctors in Moscow in 1897 and took this opportunity to inspect all the main psychiatric institutions in Russia, moreover, this task was also included in the program of their business trip. This book thus represents a kind of report on their business trip, and this report concerns only the results of the examination of psychiatric hospitals and clinics.

Improved Methods

The question of caring for the mentally ill in the sense of this word, in the sense of leaving the lower and middle staff, always presented to me as being of paramount importance, stopped my attention almost from the very beginning of my psychiatric work as a provincial resident in one of the largest departments. Hospital efficiency strengthened me even more in the importance of good care, showing together how poorly it is in most cases in Russia and how little has been done so far for more or less satisfactory dissolution of it. Leaving the question of the average staff until another time, I find it possible to say without exaggeration that the lowest nursing staff in our Russian psychiatric institutions is the most sick place. And between the two, I would be mistaken and would meet a principled objection from someone if I said that whatever improved methods of care and treatment of mentally ill were introduced into psychiatric hospitals, no matter how well these last days were arranged, at the end of all this will still be the care staff. All our improvements run the risk of being unsuccessful, inapplicable to the task, far not as useful as one might expect, if there is not a person who is sufficiently prepared, reasonably, fit for his difficult assignment, with sufficient moral and mental qualifications of caring for which servant personnel, through get a practical application of all kinds of patient care.

The Family

The clinical management of a mother who has a severe puerperal mental disorder is complicated by the fact that her baby is not ill and does not need to be in hospital—especially a psychiatric one. On the other hand, separating babies from their mothers can have adverse effects upon their relationship and upon the psychological development of the infant, although much depends upon the timing, nature and duration of the separation as well as on the quality and stability of the family background.

We have studied the use of coercive medical measures (forced medication, isolation, and mechanical restraint) in mentally ill inmates within two secure psychiatric hospitals (SPH) and three regular prisons (RP) in Spain. Variables related to adopted coercive measures were analyzed, such as type of measure, causes of indication, opinion of patient inmate, opinion of medical staff, and more frequent morbidity. A total of 209 patients (108 from SPH and 101 from RP) were studied. Isolation (41.35%) was the most frequent coercive measure, followed by mechanical restraint (33.17%) and forced medication (25.48%). The type of center has some influence; specifically in RP there is less risk of isolation and restraint than in SPH. Not having had any previous imprisonment reduces isolation and restraint risk while increases the risk of forced medication, as well as previous admissions to psychiatric inpatient units does. Finally, the fact of having lived with a partner before imprisonment reduces the risk of forced medication and communication with the family decreases the risk of isolation. Patients subjected to a coercive measure exhibited a pronounced psychopathology and most of them had been subjected to such measures on previous occasions. The mere fact of external assessment of compliance with human rights slows down the incidence of coercive measures.

This chapter provides an introduction to the scope of the problems facing the criminal justice system, with a specific focus on the overrepresentation of mental illness and substance abuse among justice-involved individuals. After discussing the “revolving door” and increased incarceration and recidivism rates among mentally ill and drug-involved offenders, the authors introduce therapeutic jurisprudence and the other foundational principles and common themes of problem-solving courts. This discussion illustrates the paradigm shift away from punishment and toward rehabilitation and increased collaboration among different entities within the criminal justice system. The chapter concludes with a brief review of the contents of the volume.

Successful Rehabilitation

Supported lodgings are an important means of achieving the successful rehabilitation and resettlement of the chronically mentally ill into the community (Anstee, 1978, 1985). In a survey of 15 psychiatric hospitals in England and Wales, it was estimated that 9.3% of the long-stay patients (i.e. in-patients from one to five years) under 65 years of age were ideally suited to less supervised accommodation outside the hospital. In Gloucestershire the Supported Lodging Scheme is provided by the Psychiatric Social Services Department. It was started to enable ‘new’ and ‘old’ long-stay patients at Coney Hill and Horton Road hospitals to be settled in the community. Now any psychiatric or mentally handicapped patient can also enter the scheme if appropriate.

Should the future GP do a six months' senior house officer job in psychiatry as part of his or her training? This was the central question at a one-day discussion held on 28 May 1980 at the Royal College of General Practitioners in Princes Gate, London, following the publication of the guidelines prepared by a RCPsych/RCGP Liaison Committee (Bulletin, June 1980, p 93) and presented to the conference by Dr Thomas Bewley. As Professor N. Kessel, among others, pointed out, psychiatric hospitals and units stand to gain considerably if they can recruit these doctors to their junior staff. Regular SHO posts are often difficult to fill at present, and GP trainees may be of very good quality. They do not expect to compete up the specialty training ladder, but they will carry part of the work-load. On the other hand, is what the hospital offers what they really need, or can it be made so?

ABSTRACTIn spite of becoming more humane in its approach with improvements in understanding of mental illnesses over last century, psychiatry still has a long way to go. At this point in time, on one hand the world faces issues like terrorism, wars and global warming; while on the other it is witnessing economic and gender empowerment like never before. With technology providing us with immense opportunities to advance care for the mentally ill, we are closer than ever to finding the holy-grail of psychiatry, and overcoming daunting challenges.

Dr. Petrie's paper is mainly descriptive of American psychiatric institutions, and deals only briefly in its conclusion with his impressions of American psychiatry in its various fields. My paper, however, deals principally with the latter subject and avoids the former as much as possible. It is also my duty to report on my mission as the representative of the London County Council and of the Royal Medico-Psychological Association at the First International Congress on Mental Hygiene.
