30 doctoral-level and 43 master's-level psychologists completed a multiple-choice examination of factors from the lethality scale. The psychologists were all staff members of community mental health centers who received the examination (and returned it) by mail. The results showed no differences between the psychologists. Master's degree psychologists recognized as many signs as doctoral-level psychologists, and years of experience was shown to be nonsignificant.

In an earlier edition of Cambridge Quarterly, in the “Networking News” section (CQ Vol 9, No 4), Larry Gottlieb sought advice on ethics committee assembly and policy implementation for a community mental health center. One concern mentioned is that staff members frequently encounter ethical issues—specifically, questions about competency, informed consent, and treatment refusal—regarding the care of clients whose decisionmaking abilities are impaired by chronic mental illness and/or substance abuse. My response offers a suggestion for policy development and implementation, which may be integrated into guiding staff members of community mental health centers toward a model of care planning that is centered on clients' experiences of their treatments and on relationship-building among clients, community members, and mental health professionals.

Baker and Schulberg's Community Mental Health Ideology scale was administered to 53 executive directors of community mental health centers. Adherence to community mental health ideology was surprisingly low. Women directors were more community-oriented than men; ideology was not significantly related to age, discipline, or years of experience.
