An Application Of Crisis Theory: The Suicide Prevention Center, Karen Drummet

Honors Projects

Preventive measures which can be utilized and some of the alternatives to hospitalization to alleviate crises include diagnosis and evaluation services, emergency psychiatric units, outpatient services, inpatient services, day and night care, foster home care, rehabilitation, consultative services to other community agencies, and mental health information and education. This paper will concern itself primarily with one of these services, that of crisis-oriented immediate-access outpatient treatment.

Changing Concepts Of Deviance, Douglas D. Bond

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

As I look at the list of distinguished Stoneburner Lecturers, I see I am honored by being the first psychiatrist. This is a tribute to the Department of Psychiatry. In thinking about this paper, I at first considered giving a kind of history of psychiatry. What seemed to me more interesting, however, was an examination of our whole perspective on deviance, in general, and what we call “illness”—an example of a certain kind of deviance, or, perhaps more accurately, a certain way of looking at deviance.

Perspectives In The Behavioral Sciences, Douglas D. Bond

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It is clear at this moment that we have two major thrusts. The first is the unlocking of the biological secrets surrounding the potential for development and the fixing of learned material in the biological matrix. The second is the careful examination of the culture that will be learned. Here, not only every social scientist but every citizen need be concerned. The present emphasis upon the importance of culture can hardly be exaggerated unless it crowds out our interest in the biological. Man remains an enigma; reason, a personal control of prejudice, and a continuing spirit of disciplined inquiry are …

Whom, Why And How To Refer, Zigmond M. Lebensohn

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

When a medical practitioner decides that the time has come to refer his patient to a specialist, certain psychological problems arise which may, at times, interfere with the smooth accomplishment of the referral. These problems can and do occur daily in medical practice, and it often makes little difference whether the specialist is a thoracic surgeon, a neurosurgeon or a psychiatrist. Referrals create certain anxieties and fears in the mind of the patient. Some of these anxieties are common to all referrals. The patient asks himself, "What's going on? What does the doctor think I really have? How serious is …

Family Tension And Psychophysiological Illness, Milton Rosenbaum

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The title of this talk, "Family Tension and Psychophysiological Illness," in itself implies that physiological changes may result from psychological forces connected with interpersonal as well as intrapersonal factors. This I firmly believe. For the most part, people do not become ill solely as the result of physiological changes. Illness usually occurs within the context of difficulties in interpersonal relations which, in the majority of instances, means the family. This does not mean that, once the patient becomes ill, he cannot be treated individually, or that, once the illness starts, the intrapsychic conflicts unleashed by it will not run their …

Psychopharmacological Procedures, Heinz E. Lehmann

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Psychopharmacology has opened the door to many previously blocked parts of psychiatric therapy. It has been a welcome catalyst for a long awaited rapprochement between psychiatry and the rest of medicine. Even if psychopharmacological research is not likely to produce another revolutionary "breakthrough" type of drug in the near future, there is good reason to expect many more useful therapeutic tools to issue from such research in the years to come.

Psychiatry In Medical Practice, George Kriegman

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The Twenty-Second Annual Stoneburner Lecture Series was designed to share with our medical colleagues some of the psychological knowledge applicable to their own medical interests which the field of psychiatry has accumulated.

Physical Illness: The Family And The Physician, Marc H. Hollender

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

When confronted by the specific stress of a close relative's illness, the family members' reactions may be schematically divided into three stages: 1) disorganization; 2) reintegration; and 3) adjustment. Either disorganization can be intensified or adjustment can be fostered, depending on the physician's understanding of the feelings the family members experience and his willingness and ability to be helpful. The family members' responses, in turn, will influence the patient's reaction to illness or his recovery and rehabilitation. Accordingly, good medical practice requires that the physician include the family in his total treatment plan whenever possible.

The Older Population And The Aged Patient, Ewald W. Busse

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Modern medical practice requires that the physician and other members of the health team have full appreciation of the impact of disease and disability upon identifiable groups of patients and recognize how nonmedical factors affect treatment and prognosis. It is important for the physician to have some idea of the patient's socioeconomic status and the actual and potential number of patients with not only a common diagnosis, but also similarities in their living conditions. With such knowledge, the physician can be much more realistic and efficient in his therapeutic efforts. Persons 65 years of age and over are commonly referred …

Anxiety, Defense And Cognition: A Theoretical Basis For Practical Handling Of The Surgical Patient, Stanley L. Block

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Both the anxiety-defense model and the cognitive model provide a scientific basis for practical handling of the surgical patient. Emerging from both models is a humanistic approach to the patient based on understanding and a nonjudgmental attitude as well as on a knowledge of where the patient is psychologically and a willingness to meet him on his ground. The rewards in terms of a reduction of anxiety, depression, and human suffering can be enormous.

Sexual Counseling In Medical Practice, George Kriegman

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, sexual relationships involve two factors: lustful gratification and emotional and physical closeness. Lustful gratification involves sexual identity which is determined by: 1) biological sex; 2) gender identity; 3) child-parent relationships; 4) cultural value systems; and 5) sexological knowledge. Sexual problems are due to ignorance of the sexual facts of life and/or to contamination of the sexual area by other needs, wishes, or fears. A detailed understanding of the presenting complaints and the sexual history of the patient will enable the physician to make a differential diagnosis. The physician can then clarify the problem and assist the patient in …

What Referring Physicians Can Expect From The Psychiatrist, David R. Hawkins

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I hope that I have persuaded you that the psychiatrist can be a very useful colleague to non-psychiatric physicians. He can be most useful if the referring physician works at developing a mutual learning relationship with him and keeping all lines of communication open.

Psychiatric Issues In Therapeutic Abortion, Henry D. Lederer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

For the purpose of this discussion I should like to focus your attention on the psychiatric involvement, questions, dilemmas, and opinions concerning therapeutic abortion. Under most of the existing statutes, therapeutic abortion is only permitted to preserve the life of the mother. Therefore, within the context of strict interpretation, the sole psychiatric indication is a high probability of suicide by the pregnant patient.

The Physician's Role In The Assessment Of Normal Behavior, Melvin Sabshin

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I am pleased to have this opportunity to talk to you about the physician's role in the assessment of normal behavior. One source of my appreciation relates to the fact that this topic is rarely discussed explicitly in symposia organized by psychiatrists for non-psychiatrist physicians. A major reason for underemphasis of this subject is that psychiatrists are quite divided in their perspectives and opinions regarding normal behavior. Not surprisingly, we psychiatrists are much more comfortable when talking to non-psychiatrists about the nuances of maladaptation or of emotional illness.
