In present article studied recognition of the situation of actualization of the mental state by child-patients parent's. The research was carried out in two stages. Sample: 70 mothers having children under the age of 7 years. Average age of mothers – 27 years. At the first stage by means of the technique "A relief of a mental state" (Prokhorov, 1998) were received estimates of mental states in the following situations: hospitalization of the child, "bad" medical care, troubles at work, "good" medical care, a usual (background) mental state. Based on the results of the first stage were two sets of descriptions were constructed. At the second stage, these sets were presented for recognition to the same sample. The first set of descriptions was constructed by the tequnique of the machine learning, the second set was constructed by the scheme of E.Yu. Artemyeva (1999). The results show the possibility of recognizing the situations of actualization of the mental state by the parents of child patients, which is limited by the emotional valence of the situation. Differentiation of situations of one valence is obstructed. The condition, actualized in one situation, can be extrapolated to other situations of similar emotional valence. The way to construct a description of the experienced mental state has a matter for recognition of the situation of actualization of a mental state.

Medical rehabilitation plays an important leading role in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Collaboration between specialists in medical rehabilitation and the rehabilitation team is a prerequisite for good medical care. The quality of medical services for children with CP depends chiefly on the level of expertise of the treatment team. Through training of specialists and sharing of knowledge, we can help more patients. This idea was developed and implemented by Dr Ewa Kooyman-Piskorz, the founder and president of Wandafonds Foundation. Between 2003 and 2014, Dutch specialists working with children with CP conducted a number of training workshops in Poland under the supervision of the Polish Rehabilitation Society and Prof. Jules Becher, a world-famous expert in the rehabilitation of children. Based on these experiences, we present the recommendations of the Paediatric Rehabilitation Section of the Polish Rehabilitation Society regarding an interdisciplinary model of treatment of children with CP in Poland.

DR. W. MONTAGUE COBB, who prepared the article which follows, is the professor of anatomy at Howard University School of Medicine, Washington, D.C., and is recognized as one of the foremost Negro educators in this country. He is chairman of the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the National Medical Association and a member of the National Medical Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. His article describes the difficulties and obstacles encountered by Negroes in this country in obtaining medical education and shows the paucity of Negro physicians and the dearth of facilities for medical care of our 14,000,000 Negro people. It is generally admitted that the greatest difficulty in our current medical care structure is the appalling lack of personnel and facilities for the care of the Negro. The Negro and white races are so intermingled in their working and living arrangements that the health of one race is profoundly influenced by the state of health of the other. Sickness in the Negro undoubtedly takes its toll among the white race. But the real reason why good medical education and good medical care should be provided for the Negro race is not this, but because they need it for their own happiness and welfare; as citizens of this country they are entitled to equal opportunity to obtain good medical care. If the editors of the column may be permitted to express their own personal views, it is that qualified Negroes should be admitted to our medical schools and should subsequently be given the necessary opportunities to obtain working experience in our hospitals and clinics.
