Delivering Mental Health Services to the Persistently and Seriously Mentally Ill in Frontier Areas
Frontier areas (defined as six or fewer persons per square mile) are at the extreme end of the urban‐rural continuum. Whereas they occupy almost half of the land mass of the United States, they constitute only about 2 percent of the population. Exigencies of harsh climate and vast distances make the delivery of health and human services even more difficult than in other rural areas. This paper describes several innovative models for delivering me…
Sense of coherence, coping and caregiver role overload
A Cross-Cultural Perspective on Selected Mental Health Systems
The information provided from authors around the world on their respective mental health systems is analyzed and compared. Several key dimensions are utilized, including the relationship of mental health services to other services, institutional care, community care, staffing, prevention and mental health promotion services, and accessibility. Resources and governmental priorities are identified as being essential to the provision of effective se…
The Development of Mental Health Services in Sub-Saharan Africa
This paper considers several aspects of the evolution, organization and current status of the mental health system of Rwanda. The centerpiece of the Rwandan mental health system is the neuropsychiatric hospital in Ndera. Resource constraints preclude development of an extensive system of specialty mental health care. The World Health Organization has proposed that mental health services can best be delivered in developing countries through decent…
Mental Health and Rural America
This article reviews research findings in rural mental health services during the past 10 years. Specifically considered are the prevalence of mental disorder in rural areas and aspects of the organization of mental health services delivery. Gaps in knowledge are identified and a research agenda is proposed
Community activism and community mental health
The conclusion that the decline of community mental health is primarily a result of the current political, social, and fiscal environment is examined in this paper. Following an analysis of the community mental health movement, its ideology and origins, data from several studies are cited to support the thesis that community mental health ideology was not internalized by community mental health center directors and workers, as demonstrated in the…

Identity degradation and mental disorder
Proponents of the medical models have held that mental disorder is best measured in terms of some inventory of symptoms indicative of an underlying disease. Alternatively, critics have argued that mental disorder is the result of a degraded ascribed role, a discrepancy between the person and his environment, or the degradation of identity. The issue goes beyond academic debate, with important implications for case-finding and program development …

Social activism and psychiatrists in community mental health centers
A sample of psychiatrists (n = 72) working in 20 community mental health centers (CMHCs) representative of the organizational and catchment area characteristics of operating Centers were queried as part of a larger study (n = 595) of community mental health worker roles. It was found that psychiatrists were like other staff in perceived organizational expectations of social activism but were significantly lower in perceived personal/professional …
Opening the Door
The Community Mental Health Worker
The development of the ideology of community mental health (CMH) as the raison d'etre of a new mental health care movement has not insured its application in community mental health centers (CMHC). In order to actualize this new ideology, the CMHC staffs were expected to assume new roles: change agents or social activists. If ideology is a prescription for general behavior, then the existence of appropriate role development is a measure of the ab…
The Sociology of Mental Illness
The nature and correlates of community mental health ideology in community mental health centers
Five hundred ninety-five staff at 20 CMHCs were surveyed as part of a large study of mental health worker roles. Data on the endorsement of the ideology of community mental health (CMHI) were obtained. Significant associations were found between ideology and level of education and time allocated to Direct and Indirect Services. Different patterns were noted when specific occupations were considered. Significant associations were also found betwee…

Boundary Busting in the Role of the Community Mental Health Worker
The emergence of community mental health as an important system of mental health care delivery has presumably put into practice an ideology that results in whatDinitz and Beran have referred to as busting. In a previous article (1971), Dinitz and Beran have asserted that community mental health-unlike previously-established systems-has a greatly expanded domain. They conclude that this will erode the boundaries of systems such as traditional ment…
