Effect of drama training on self-esteem and personality strengths
Background: Although there are many case reports and qualitative studies on the likely positive effects of drama on mental health there have been few quantitative studies with mentally ill patients. Aims: To assess the effect of drama training in patients receiving nidotherapy with a range of mental and personality disorders on changes in self-esteem and personality strengths over a 1-month period compared with two control groups, one with simila…
Increase in the prevalence of health anxiety in medical clinics
BACKGROUND: Health anxiety may be an increasing problem because of the focus on monitoring health and increasing use of the Internet for self-diagnosis (cyberchondria). There is very little information about changes in the prevalence of health anxiety. AIM: We compared the prevalence of health anxiety in four medical clinics in one hospital over a 4-year period using the Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI) as a diagnostic marker. METHOD: Patients atte…
The Importance of Nidotherapy and Environmental Change in the Management of People with Complex Mental Disorders
Much has been done in the last 50 years to achieve a better understanding of the psychosocial causes and other factors influencing the manifestation of mental illness, but there has been a conspicuous omission. Although gross environmental deficiencies were exposed in old mental institutions, 70 years ago the more subtle maladaptive settings that reinforce chronicity in mental illness have often been forgotten. In this review, the potential of sy…

Influence of dependent personality status on the outcome and health service costs of health anxiety
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of dependent personality disturbance as an influence on the cost and clinical outcome of health anxiety. METHOD: In the course of a randomized trial of treatments for patients with high health anxiety over 12 months, we also recorded dependent personality status by two methods: the Personality Assessment Schedule (an observer-rated instrument) and the self-rated Dependent Personality Questionnaire (DPQ), the latter…
The Schedule for Evaluating Persistent Symptoms (Seps)
BACKGROUND: Medically unexplained symptoms are difficult to measure and in most cases the diagnosis is made either from independent data such as consultants' opinions or medical outcomes, or by proxy measures such as numbers of symptoms or consultations. A valid self-rated measure would be of value in assessing this highly prevalent condition. AIMS: To describe a new scale of nine items, the Schedule for Evaluation of Persistent Symptoms (SEPS), …
An Evaluation of New Services for Personality-Disordered Offenders
Background: Little is known about effective treatment for personality-disordered (PD) offenders. We aimed to obtain the perspective of service users and staff on: (a) the experience of receiving treatment; and (b) the experience of delivering treatment, within new forensic services for PD offenders. Material: Thematic analysis was applied to qualitative interviews with 30 service users and 22 staff. Discussion: Service users perceived that they w…
Integration of Nidotherapy Into the Management of Mental Illness and Antisocial Personality
Background: Nidotherapy is a new treatment aimed at the systematic alteration of the environment in order to make a better fit for a person with chronic mental health difficulties. Preliminary work has suggested that it might have particular value in those with antisocial personality disorder. Aims: To examine the views of patients with mental illness combined with antisocial personality features about the acceptability and value of nidotherapy w…
The Quantification of Violence Scale
Background: Although there are many rating scales recording the incidence and intensity of violence there are none that are specifically concerned with the measurement and assessment of severe violence. Aims: To develop a scale sensitive to variation centred on severe violence, establish its normative values, test its feasibility, and assess its reliability and validity in different populations. Method: The Quantification of Violence Scale (QOVS)…
Perceptions of Assertive Community Treatment in the UK and Lithuania
Background: There is current uncertainty over the future of assertive community and outreach teams in view of recent evidence suggesting that they no longer reduce hospital admissions. Despite this, assertive teams remain popular among practitioners. Aims: To eXamine the views of assertive community team members and other mental health professionals in London (UK) and Vilnius (Lithuania) to determine important differences in attitudes. Method: A …
The Bed Requirement Inventory
Objective: To develop an assessment of bed need that was as little affected by personal biasas possible. Method: The Bed Requirement Inventory (BRI) is an eight-point scale designed to identify the appropriate use of an acute psychiatric bed. This is completed by a member of the ward staff, usually a nurse, and takes 5 minutes to fill in. The reliability, validity and feasibility of using the scale in normal practice were tested in a one-year stu…
The Social Functioning Questionnaire
Background: The Social Functioning Questionnaire (SFQ), an eight-item selfreport scale (score range 0–24), was developed from the Social Functioning Schedule (SFS), a semi-structured interview which has been used primarily with non-psychotic patients and has good test-retest and inter-rater reliability as well as construct validity. The SFQ was developed following the need for a quick assessment of perceived social function. Aims: To give further…
The Dependent Personality Questionnaire (DPQ)
Background: There are no specific instruments for rating dependent personality, although this may be an important subject in clinical practice, where knowledge of dependent personality features may influence treatment. Aims: To develop a simple self-rating questionnaire for dependent personality features and compare the findings in two groups, one with and one without established dependent personality disorder. Method: An 8-item Dependent Persona…
Service Variation in Baseline Variables and Prediction of Risk in a Randomised Controlled Trial of Psychological Treatment in Repeated Parasuicide
The treatment protocol and baseline characteristics of 480 subjects with a history of repeated parasuicide recruited in five centres to a randomised therapeutic trial of manual assisted cognitive-behaviour therapy (MACT) and treatment as usual (TAU) are described. Most patients had significant anxiety and depressive disturbance with 42% having a personality disorder. Variation in service policies influenced recruitment, with earlier assessment ce…
Systematic review of involving patients in the planning and development of health care
Objective: To examine the effects of involving patients in the planning and development of health care. Data sources: Published and grey literature. Study selection: Systematic search for worldwide reports written in English between January 1966 and October 2000. Data extraction: Qualitative review of papers describing the effects of involving patients in the planning and development of health care. Results: Of 42 papers identified, 31 (74%) were…
Costs and Characteristics of Heavy Inpatient Service Users in Outer London
"Heavy users" is a new term often used to describe those who occupy a disproportionate number of psychiatric beds. In this study we identified the heaviest 10% (193) inpatient service users in one London borough over a 61/2 year period and compared these with a control group of 400 ordinary inpatient users. A weighting index was used to combine frequency of admission with duration. Heavy users were diagnostically and demographically similar to or…
Common personality features in neurotic disorder
The personality characteristics of 77 patients seen in general practice with a Catego diagnosis of anxiety state (including phobic state) or depressive neurosis derived from the Present State Examination were compared with those in 77 normal subjects chosen at random from the list of the same general practitioner. Each patient was matched with a normal subject of the same age and sex. The personality characteristics were rated using the Personali…
Expired air carbon monoxide, smoking, and other variables. A community study
Analysis of the carbon monoxide content of expired air is now a frequently used technique in population studies. Its close correlation with the blood concentration of carboxyhaemoglobin was first demonstrated by Jones, Ellicott, Cadigan, and Gaensler in 1958. Studies in the United Kingdom (Tyrer, 1964) and the United States (Ringold et al., 1962; Goldsmith, Schuette, and Novick, 1963) have shown that it is also associated with cigarette smoking a…
