Defining Location in the Mental Health System
In this ethnographic study of a mental health service agency staffed by "consumers," or fellow "recipients" of services for serious mental illness, the concept of community narrative provides the framework for examining how such an agency preserves its consumer identity while providing services dictated by the established service system. Locating the agency's narrative in its "origins tale," analysis revealed five principles comprising the agency…

Groups as social network members
In a study of the link between physical disability and social relationships among the elderly, questions about social network and social support evoked a surprisingly large number of group responses. People mentioned "my grandchildren," "the people in my building," "people at the senior center," and other groups in ways that suggested that the real unit of support was extraindividual and could not be accurately understood by reference to individu…
Social integration and social support
Despite the extra-individual nature of social relationships, social support and social networks have been treated by and large as individual-level concepts. This article describes some of the forms that an individualistic bias takes in our current approaches to conceptualization and measurement of social support and social networks and suggests three steps towards an extra-individual treatment of these concepts: (1) expand notions of social suppo…

Social Supports as Stress Buffers for Adult Cancer Patients
Although a growing body of research evidence suggests that persons encountering stressful life circumstances are protected from potential declines in health and well-being by supportive relationships, the evidence for the stress-buffering qualities of social support for cancer patients is equivocal. This study examines the relationship between naturally occurring, supportive behaviors and psychological adjustment to the illness for 32 nonhospital…
Ideology and Practice of Deinstitutionalization
This article compares the history and current status of deinstitution‐alization efforts for the mentally ill, criminal offenders, and the aged in need of long‐term care. Evidence from other articles in this issue, and elsewhere, suggests that similar ideologies of deinstitutionalization have guided thinking for all three groups but that practices have diverged. Only the mentally ill have moved out of institutions in large numbers, and, for all th…

The Coping Function of Sex-Role Attitudes during Marital Disruption
Barbara J. Felton, Stanley Lehmann, Prudence Brown, Penny Liberatos, The Coping Function of Sex-Role Attitudes during Marital Disruption, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Vol. 21, No. 3 (Sep., 1980), pp. 240-248
Social Context and Personal Need
The material history of a study of ethnic aged in their neighborhood context is described. As part of a larger study on service needs of older persons in a predominantly Polish and in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, interviews were conducted with 402 older persons. Special problems and pitfalls to be dealt with in studying ethnic aged are discussed in terms of gaining access to respondents, instrumentation, and in terms of interpretation of …
