For several decades the Soviet academic psychology community was isolated from the West, yet after the collapse of the Soviet Union each of the 15 countries went their own way in economic, social, and scientific development. The paper analyses publications from post-Soviet countries in psychological journals in 1992–2017, i.e. 26 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Over the period in question, 15 post-Soviet countries had published 4986 papers in psychology, accounting for less than one percent of the world output in psychological journals. However, the growth of post-Soviet countries’ output in psychological journals, especially that of Russia and Estonia, is observed during this period. Over time, post-Soviet authors began to write more papers in international teams, constantly increasing the proportion of papers in which they are leaders and main contributors. Their papers are still underrepresented in the best journals as well as among the most cited papers in the field and are also cited lower than the world average. However, the impact of psychological papers from post-Soviet countries increases with time. There is a huge diversity between 15 post-Soviet countries in terms of contribution, autonomy, and impact. Regarding the number of papers in psychological journals, the leading nations are Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Georgia. Estonia is the leader in autonomy in publishing papers in psychological journals among post-Soviet countries. Papers from Estonia and Georgia are cited higher than the world average, whereas papers from Russia and Ukraine are cited below the world average. Estonia and Georgia also boast a high number of Highly cited papers.

The Impact

Abstract One of the most common reasons people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) return to institutions is because of maladaptive behaviors. This study's aim was to examine the impact organizational supports can have on the community outcomes of people with dual diagnosis—those with IDD and psychiatric disabilities. We analyzed secondary Personal Outcome Measures interview data from 533 people with dual diagnosis. Findings revealed people with dual diagnosis were significantly more likely to have community outcomes present when they received individualized organizational supports. In addition, we found a number of disparities in organizational supports, including related to guardianship, communication method, and residence type. A more robust service system is necessary to ensure people with dual diagnosis are integrated into their communities.

History Of

Permanent, supportive housing for people with a history of homelessness is often a first step toward regaining stability in other life areas, but such housing may not always feel like “home.” Whether supportive housing feels like “home” has received increasing attention due to links with positive identity reconstruction, housing stability, and improved community engagement. This qualitative study explored what makes supportive housing feel like “home” for individuals who were once homeless. Semi-structured interviews were completed among 37 adults with physical and/or psychiatric disabilities who were currently living in congregate or independent permanent housing in Boston, Massachusetts. Three themes emerged regarding what makes housing feel like “home”: (a) safe spaces, (b) connections to “regular stuff” and past occupations, and (c) agency to choose and pursue personal goals. Feelings of “home” were associated with a safe, peaceful environment where participants preferred to spend time in solitary activities. However, housing that felt like “home” also provided a base to engage in daily routines and community activities, reconnecting participants to “everyday things people do.” Findings are interpreted related to constructing a new, nonhomeless identity, and current issues of social isolation and limited community integration affecting individuals who were once homeless.
