Prevention: A word whose time has come
Prevention is a cherished mental health concept, increasingly honored more in word than deed. It is suggested that secondary and tertiary prevention constitute contradictions in terms and that--while the services they embody may be vital--they are not prevention
Mixing metaphors: The school as patsy 1
This paper concerns itself with institutional metaphors-principally health, law, and pedagogy-and their relationship to the schools of today and tomorrow. The paper proceeds to establish metaphorical identities of these three professions and services and describes the problems of metaphor mixing for the effectiveness of public schools. Institutional metaphors are concepts expressed in the form of words, phrases, or images that prescribe goals and…
Measurement of Play Structures: Cross-Cultural Considerations
A Play Box" containing thirty wooden pieces was developed and used with populations of Iranian and Turkish children. A consistency of play was found in repeated administrations. Differences in the use of space was noted between the two groups as well as socioeconomic status (SES) differences in the Iranian population. A surprising finding was absence of SES differences among the Turkish sample possibly attributable to the nature of the preschool …

Early and periodic screening, diagnosis, and treatment: Realities, risks, and possibilities
Pathways upstream: Risks and realities of early screening efforts
The need for basic societal institutions to foster growth-enhancing and ego-strengthening experiences is highlighted. The ascendancy of Asklepios--as representative of the remedial, medical model--over Hygeia--symbolizing the preventive, public health approach--is traced from Hellenic mythology to present reality. The Hygeian merits of current early identification programs are considered, and means for moving them closer to the Hygeian ideal are …

American children and families in overseas communities
A significant number of American families, military and civilian, are based in Europe. Does living in a foreign culture have any positive or negative emotional impact on these families and their children? How adequate are the mental health and educational resources provided by the military? What new services might be needed for such communities
Mental health, social competence and the war on poverty
Mental health has emphasized reduction of intrapsychic conflict. Increasingly intervention strategies are shifting toward cognitive training for social competence. This trend is traced back to the New Deal and early psychoanalysts. Mental health must reexamine its own strategies if it is to retain leadership within the helping professions

The modification, mediation and utilization of stress during the school years
An analysis of peaks of normal crises that can be anticipated for school-age children, and some possibilities for managing these crises so that the child becomes a more effective learner, are presented. By establishing barriers at strategic and visible points of crisis (school entrance, birth of sibling, third grade), schools can assist children to build stress immunity
Primary prevention of mental and emotional disorders: A conceptual framework and action possibilities
Prevention is seen as a magic word that has had little action implementation in the field of mental and emotional disorders. Moreover, lay and professional groups appear to have a desultory defeatist attitude toward such activity. In part, this is the result of an inability to conceptualize a usable and meaningful theoretical structure from which research and demonstration programs can be developed. A conceptualization of primary prevention and p…
