Public Mental Hospital

The number of children in state mental institutions is inevitably increasing. At the same time it is increasingly difficult to generate enough staff adequate for caretaking, training, and supervision. There are no instant solutions to this problem; no hidden panaceas that might make it right soon. Hoping for some partial help, it makes sense to review the place of the pediatrician in the state mental hospital and the hospital's traditional sources for program design as well as staff training and supervision. Such hospitals were designed for adults. In addition, they both benefit and suffer from a massive tradition and inertia.

Treatment Agent

The recent focus on expectancy as a factor in effectiveness of therapy has tended to overlook the role of expectancy of the treatment agent. Study 1 showed manipulated expectancies of a mental hospital staff predicted favorability of discharge for 10 patients ( p < .057). In the second study, a therapeutic analogue, neither “patients'” nor “therapists'” expectancies directly predicted amount of change in 64 students. Congruency of expectancy, however, interacted with “therapists'” warmth or coolness to influence amount of change.

The Relationship

The main purpose of this article is to discuss the place of the ethics of virtues and char acter in nursing and health care in general, and in psychiatric nursing in particular. To attain this goal, the relationship between the ethics of duty (i.e. rule based ethics) and the ethics of virtue and character will be clarified in order to defend our main hypothe sis that these two types of ethics should complement each other, since both are necessary but neither by itself is sufficient for nursing. This means that any applied ethics, as in nursing, should consider the importance of the agent's moral character. To support our arguments, we shall use cases from the empirical reality of psychiatric and mental health care.
