Sex and the nursing home
The current article discusses the case of Henry Rahons. A nearly 80 year old man who was accused by the local district attorney of having unlawful sexual contact with Donna, his second wife of some seven years who had developed Alzheimer's disease in her later years. Under Iowa law, he was accused of having sexually abused her because she had "a mental defect or incapacity which precludes giving consent" to sex acts. A jury acquitted Henry of the…
Children come first? A brief history of children’s mental health services
This article provides a brief history on the evolution of child mental health services. From 1961 when modern day mental health programming began with the Joint Commission on Mental Health and Illness to key developments in children's mental health services and prevention in modern day
Coming from behind
In our current reliance on "hard data," achievement test scores are used incorrectly and without warrant as the ultimate mark of educational progress. While it is true that a gap continues to exist, educational history shows that, overall, both Black and White students have participated steadily in increasing numbers in the educational system, whether the measure is the number of students attending school, the increasing length of the school year…
Research in the real world
Although scientists are supposedly concerned only with the pursuit of scientific truth, it was recognized early on that they have personal and professional agendas and are subject to human fallibilities. Openness allowing the scientific community to oversee each member's work depends a great deal upon publication of scientific work. Research reports are cultural artifacts shaped by social forces. In most instances of theoretically oriented work, …
Charters and foundations
From their inception, United States public schools have been subject to reform efforts. The most recent, and perhaps the most potent, is the current effort to establish charter schools as replacements for traditional public schools. They are supposed to be the analog of private schools, providing choices to parents, financed by public funds, but operating largely free of state and local regulations. The schools are organized under charters specif…
Follow the money
The debate about charter schools and public schools has been conducted on an ideological level. However, the ideological argument obscures the ongoing transfer of public funds to private use, the creation of business and investment opportunities, and the effects of the private enterprise model on education. In the current two-part article, the authors discuss charter schools and finances. Part 1 concerns charter schools and management organizatio…

Principles from history, community psychology and developmental psychology applied to community based programs for deinstitutionalized youth
This article analyses the issues of the deinstitutionalization of youth, and the development of community based services, using some historical data and some of the principles of community psychology. The basic premise is that there is no such thing as a social vacuum. All programs are implemented and function in an elaborate social context

Prayer as Coping
Engaging in prayer and holding positive attitudes toward religion are empirically associated with personal wellbeing, health, and the relief of distress. This paper starts with those findings and builds on the Jamesian concept of prayer as "inward communication or conversation with a power recognized as divine." Within this framework, the paper employs selected, well recognized psychological constructs to offer a theoretical explanation of how an…

Rush to judgment
Two hundred and ninety-three randomly selected cases from a child protection service agency in a large western New York county were examined to test the hypothesis that sexual abuse allegations are investigated and processed more intensively than cases alleging other types of maltreatment. Contrary to the hypothesis, allegations of sexual abuse were substantiated at a lower rate, not investigated more intensively, and not offered more services th…
Effects of legally mandated child-abuse reports on the therapeutic relationship
In a national survey of 907 licensed psychologists regarding mandated reporting of child maltreatment, predictors of outcome included: therapeutic alliance; role strain; therapist explicitness; family vs. individual treatment; and whether or not the client was the perpetrator. Therapists were asked to describe a case involving reporting, its impact on treatment, informed consent procedures, as well as their own attitudes and beliefs. Implications…

Power‐control Theory, Gender, and Delinquency
This examination of Hagan et al.'s (1985, 1987) power‐control theory of delinquency and gender finds that gender and delinquency are related to the relative authority of parents at work in ways unexpected by power‐control theory. Support is found, however, for the power‐control thesis pertaining to parental control and risk‐taking attitudes. In reconciling differences between these findings and those of Hagan et al., the conclusion is that relati…

An analysis of mutual assistance
Conclusion Why should community psychology be interested in mutual assistance? Mutual assistance organizations represent not an alternative to professional care by an addition to resources in the community of a kind that makes for a more competent community (Iscoe, 1974). Mutual assistance also reflects the values of empowerment that many community psychologists accept as primary (Rappaport, 1981). For those persons who suffer with conditions tha…
Congress (and evaluators) ought to pay more attention to history
In 1935, in 1965, and in 1972, the original Social Security Act and amendments to it were used by states to deinstitutionalize. In each instance a private, profit-making nursing home and board and care industry was stimulated. Poor care in such facilities was an unintended consequence of the legislation. Neither the Congress nor evaluators have clear concepts of what constitutes a life of decency and dignity for the chronically dependent. Behavio…
The Penetration of Social Science into Legal Culture
Over the past 75 years, social science references in court decisions have changed from an anonymous footnote to an appendix to a brief (Mullerv.Oregon, 1908) to extensive discussion of social science methods and results to changing a rule of law based on social science propositions (Hoveyv.Superior Court, 1980). The acceptance of social science may be traced in state court decisions as well as in Supreme Court cases. The academic field of law has…

Above and Beyond the Best Interests of the Child
The publication of an inter-disciplinary effort on child welfare law, co-authored by three such luminary figures as Joseph Goldstein (Walton Hale Hamilton Professor of Law, Science and Social Policy at Yale University Law School), Anna Freud (perhaps the foremost living authority on the emotional lives of children), and Albert Solnit (Director of the Yale University Child Study Center), is an intellectual event. The talents of these authors are s…
Maltreatment‐Related Fatalities
Maltreatment‐related child fatalities, despite their relatively infrequent occurrence, constitute a serious social problem. Based on a review of national and unpublished state and local child fatality review team reports, we ascertained some risk factors that set parameters for prevention programs. Children under age four, and in particular those under age two, are at highest risk for maltreatment‐related fatalities. Neglect‐related deaths occur …
Empirical Studies on Foster Care
This is a selected review and critique of twenty articles which investigate psychosocial characteristics of children in foster care. Each article represents an effort to describe the foster care population and/or to test hypotheses about issues in foster care. Articles were selected within the time frame of 1974 to 1989. Data are presented in summary tabular form. Discussion focuses upon behavioral characteristics and emotional/health problems of…

The Role of Special Master in Institutional Reform Litigation
Wuori v Zitnay (1975), an institutional reform case, came to a successful resolution within a relatively few years. This case study describes the change process from the perspective of the special master and reports on devices used to sustain the changes after the court relinquished active supervision. The case study describes the functioning of masters in other cases to show the comparability of the processes. The special master undertakes chang…
Sex differences in behavior ratings
Male and female primary school teachers rated their male and female pupils using a 16-item classroom behavior rating scale (Modified AML). Male pupils were generally rated more poorly than femal pupils by both male and female teachers. Male teachers rated both male and female pupils more conservatively than did female teachers on the separate factors of the AML scale. There was no difference in ratings by male and femal teachers of the overall ad…

Consequences and Dilemmas in Therapeutic Relationships with Families Resulting from Mandatory Reporting Legislation
Mandatory reporting legislation has been adopted in every state to insure the protection of children from maltreatment. These statutes have become a significant factor in the lives of mental health professionals who work with children and families. Thirty psychotherapists who had made a recent report of child maltreatment on a client in treatment were interviewed about their experiences with reporting and the consequences of reporting for therape…

The case records of the psychological clinic at the University of Pennsylvania (1896-1961)
The case records of the Psychological Clinic of the University of Pennsylvania the first established in this country, have been transferred to microfilm to save them from desctruction. A survey of the records indicate that they may be valuable in both historical and follow-up research. The microfilms can be made available to qualified investigators with worthy projects.

Method or madness
Burnout has affected a significant number of professionals in research and in clinical practice. The Marxian theory of alienation is insufficient to account for the phenomenon among professional workers. A critical factor in professional alienation is, paradoxically, the very factor which distinguishes the professional from the layman, namely the reliance on method and concept to develop knowledge. The alienating character of professional method …
