Over Time

Emotional ratings were obtained each month on 40 male and 10 female addicts who remained in a therapeutic community program and 45 who dropped out. For both groups, “emotionality” significantly dropped over time in the program. Also, a relationship is suggested between length of stay in the program and the magnitude of the initial emotional ratings.

Community Program

Although its exact effects are uncertain and the best patterns of dosage and frequency have yet to be ascertained, a combination of scopolamine and methedrine given intramuscularly appears to have some value as a means of rendering young, physically healthy, mentally ill offenders more accessible to treatment when they are participating in an intensive therapeutic community program. It offers a form of control of the psychopathic patient which is superior to heavy doses of tranquillizers or seclusion. In all phases of its employment its effects on the group seem cohesive, providing a focus for concerned and helpful activities.

Functioning Level

Treatment satisfaction of different mental disorders is still poorly understood, but of high clinical interest. Inpatients of a general psychiatric care hospital were asked to fill out questionnaires on satisfaction and clinical variables at admission and discharge. On the basis of an exploratory approach, differences in treatment satisfaction among diagnostic groups were examined by means of one-way analysis of variance. Potential associated clinical and socio-demographic variables were studied using multi/univariate tests. Patients with personality disorders (n=18) showed a significantly lower treatment satisfaction (ZUF-8, Zurich Satisfaction Questionnaire) and a slightly lower improvement of symptoms (CGI, Clinical Global Impression) and global functioning (GAF, Global Assessment of Functioning scale) than that of other diagnostic groups (n=95). Satisfaction in patients with personality disorders correlated much stronger with the symptom improvement and slightly with the functioning level than in patients without personality disorders. Interestingly, in patients with personality disorders psychopharmacological treatment in general (present versus not present) was independent from satisfaction. This exploratory investigation suggests that a lower satisfaction of patients with personality disorders in a general psychiatric hospital is mainly based on a reduced improvement of the symptoms and of the global functioning level.
