Expanding Population

In the Indian secular, pluralistic, and collectivist society, the family is the oldest and the most important institution that has survived through the ages. With rapid urbanization and an ever-expanding population, there is a scarcity of financial and human resources in the area of mental health. Though progressively decreasing in size, families continue to provide a valuable support system, which can be helpful in the management of various stressful situations. Yet, very often this resource is not adequately and appropriately utilized. This chapter describes the role of family involvement in first-episode psychosis, drawing from various research projects carried out by the Schizophrenia Research Foundation (SCARF) and from other Indian centres. It deals with the identification of prodromes, access to care, treatment adherence and follow-up, and stigma.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of spouses' (or significant others') involvement in the treatment of alcoholism. Altogether 80 adult patients who had been treated for alcoholism participated. There were three groups who varied in involvement: Group I whose spouses attended 3 or fewer group therapy sessions per week, Group II whose spouses attended 4 or more sessions per week, and Group III whose spouses were treated as inpatients for coalcoholism. Information was gathered through personal interviews as part of the treatment follow-up plan no less than six months after release. The results suggest strong associations between greater family involvement and abstinence (at least six months), better family relations, and positive feelings about self. Further work should consider factors contributing to greater spousal involvement and the nature of support received after treatment.

Episode Psychosis

Objective:To determine long term effects of intensive early intervention programme (OPUS)for first episode psychotic patients.Design:RCT of two years of intensive early-intervention programme versus standard treatment. Follow-up was two and five years.Patients:547 first-episode psychotic patients were included and interviewed after two years (N=369) and five years (N=301). Registerbased information was available for all patients.Interventions:The intensive early intervention programme OPUS consisted of ACT with family involvement and social skills training.Results:At five-year follow-up, the positive effect of the OPUS treatment seen after two years had equalized between treatment groups. A significantly smaller percentage of patients from the experimental group were living in supported housing (4% vs. 10%, OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.1 to 4.8, P =0.02) and were hospitalized fewer days (mean days 149 vs. 193, mean difference 44, 95% CI 0.15 to 88,12 P= 0.05) during the five-year period.Conclusions:The OPUS treatment improved clinical outcome after two years, but the effects were not sustainable up to five years after. A difference on supported housing and use of bed days were found after five years in favour of the OPUS treatment.

AbstractTo determine family involvement after geriatric assessment, two groups of patients were followed: a sample of 1981 patients and their caregivers were interviewed in 1981 and 1984: and, a sample of 1983 patients and their caregivers were interviewed in 1984. The findings indicate that nuclear family members retain on-going relationships with their elderly. Kin networks shrink for those elderly without nuclear kin when their mental functioning decreases. Needs and resources change over time.

The Juvenile Intervention Program represents an attempt to intervene in the development of juvenile drug dependence. The program involves the early identification of juvenile drug abusers followed by the recruitment of the juveniles and their parents into the program. The program utilizes the principles of family involvement and peer pressure throughout the program, while the basis of the program involves the education of the participants in such areas as family architecture, family communication patterns and drug knowledge. The results indicate that the program had a positive effect on the parents with no significant changes among the juveniles. It is hypothesized that the changes that have been initiated within the parents will have a positive effect on the juveniles at the six month follow-up.

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.

AbstractA long-term photographic search programme for minor planets was begun at the Kleť Observatory at the end of seventies using a 0.63-m Maksutov telescope, but with insufficient respect for long-arc follow-up astrometry. More than two thousand provisional designations were given to new Kleť discoveries. Since 1993 targeted follow-up astrometry of Kleť candidates has been performed with a 0.57-m reflector equipped with a CCD camera, and reliable orbits for many previous Kleť discoveries have been determined. The photographic programme results in more than 350 numbered minor planets credited to Kleť, one of the world's most prolific discovery sites. Nearly 50 per cent of them were numbered as a consequence of CCD follow-up observations since 1994.This brief summary describes the results of this Kleť photographic minor planet survey between 1977 and 1996. The majority of the Kleť photographic discoveries are main belt asteroids, but two Amor type asteroids and one Trojan have been found.
