摘要:

AbstractThis study examined social indicators of the Mental Health Demographic Profile System as predictors of both mental health needs and utilization of mental health services in a black community served by a metropolitan CMHC. Over a two‐year period, it was found that only four social indicators were significant predictors of the need‐utilization relationship in that census tracts that had a higher percentage of nonhusband/wife household, large families, overcrowded housing, and working mothers with preschool children tended to have higher service utilization. Further, census tracts that had higher utilization in the first year remained higher utilizers of services in the second year. Implications of these findings in terms of proximity to the CMHC are discus

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to discuss a case study involving an application of ecological methods in community psychology practice. The study evolved in response to a request to community psychologists from a City Department of Parks for an evaluation of the functioning of a new innercity park. The study's findings afforded support for the park's effectiveness in terms of the city's objectives. Comparison with an environmentally similar park peripheral to the central city demonstrated that the new innercity park was characterized by more balanced usage across racial and age groups, more group socializing, and more active recreational use.

摘要:

AbstractA year‐long field training project comprised of university faculty and graduate students as participant‐conceptualizers in developing proposals for two comprehensive community mental health centers is described. Students experienced an urban setting of high psychosocial vulnerability and a complex network of social‐political agencies. Their participation in all phases of the project is discussed, from gathering demographic data to negotiating contractual arrangements for ser

摘要:

AbstractThis paper summarizes how a traditionally trained clinical psychologist transformed himself, with no small difficulty, into a research‐oriented community psychologist and a faculty member of a multidisciplinary department within a school of public health. Further, the author discusses what he calls a two‐way relationship between epidemiology and community psychology and proposes a core curriculum for research training in community psychology at the graduate le

摘要:

AbstractA longitudinal study of the impact of three separate volunteer programs working with juvenile delinquents was undertaken at one juvenile court. The youth were followed for a period of one year with measures of official and unofficial delinquent behavior obtained four times during that year. Other data were also collected. The study results indicated two of the programs (i.e., volunteer probation officer and group counseling) had a negligible effect on reducing probationers' delinquent behavior compared to a control group. Youth who participated in the third group, a volunteer tutor program, actually increased their delinquent behavior when compared to a control group within the first 6 months of their probation. However, one year after probation, the differences were negligible. Recommendations are made which include divesting the juvenile court of client responsibility for providing volunteer services.

摘要:

AbstractThe Organizational Interaction Scale (OIS) was used in this study to delineate the patterns of interaction between forty organizations in a defined community. Significant differences were found between four subgroups of organizations (Churches, Schools, Social Service Organizations, and Social Organizations) on the summed ratings on OIS Items for the total sample and on all four subgroups of organizations. A pattern of significant correlations indicated high internal consistency for the OIS. The instrument offers a cost effective way for human service agencies to examine their interorganizational network.

摘要:

AbstractAssessing and developing community‐oriented programs for children with learning problems has been a complex and confusing task. Incumbent within such a process lies the problem of involving professionals from the domains of health, education, and the social services in addition to the parents. Given the polemic of trying to agree upon a similar definition of the problem, identifying interdisciplinary variations for similar symptoms, and conjointly interfacing services for purposes of solving the learning problem, it may take a magic act to get the job done! The vague learning disability (LD) syndrome could not have survived if it had not become popular with educators, physicians, and psychologists. LD as a diagnosis and assessment promotes confusion for those professionals who must constructively deal with the problem and for the child referred as LD, it invites a self‐fulfilling prophecy of frustration and nonlearn
