Scholarly Inquiry

The question “What makes an organization public?” is a leading point of scholarly inquiry in the field of public administration. This study supplements existing theory on publicness by further exploring the primary influences on an organization’s publicness—influences identified by analyzing data from in-depth interviews with senior-level managers of mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities. Results from a grounded theoretical analysis of these managers’ perceptions provide support for a conceptual framework of organizational publicness in which political authority, horizontal engagement, and public engagement are associated with higher levels of publicness. Better understanding of the prism through which senior managers conceptualize publicness may enhance managerial awareness of the most salient structural and institutional mechanisms that empower treatment facilities to effectively support individuals suffering from mental health disorders such as substance abuse, emotional distress, and depression.

Provision Of Care

This article examines mental health and substance abuse treatment providers' attitudes and beliefs regarding the relative values of academic knowledge and experiential knowledge. These two forms of “knowing” increasingly come into conflict as providers from the two service systems work together to provide services to individuals with co-occurring disorders. Data to address this issue were obtained from seven focus groups conducted with 48 substance abuse and mental health treatment providers and stakeholders in Los Angeles County. Findings suggest the tenuous role of experience-based knowledge within the emergent framework of dual diagnosis treatment and its emphasis on the professionalization of providers. The article raises concerns as to how differing, and often competing, treatment approaches affect the provision of care for this population and questions how these tensions will be resolved within efforts to increase collaboration between the two systems in providing services to dually diagnosed patients.
