Clinical Insights About Mental Difference, John Seem

Clinical Sociology Review

Self-actualization is sought by all people. Experience with mental difference, both as a patient and as a staff member in a mental hospital leads to a greater understanding of the meaning and nature of this difference. It arises from variations in biographical experience, social interactions, personal frame and self-choice. Providing the mentally different with the responsibility of at least limited choice empowers them while affirming their human dignity and worth.

Hospice: A Descriptive Analysis Of The Structure And Formation Of Hospice Organization In West Virginia, Rebecca Ann Lowery

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

It has been recognized that a hospice must move through several stages in order to become an organization. Moving from a volunteer or interest group to an operating hospice requires detailed planning and organizing. Also, community support and financial stability are crucial in the developing stages. The developing hospice also needs support from the medical community, because physicians make most of the patient referrals to the hospice program.

Several reasons may be given to explain why the Hospice of Lincoln County was unsuccessful in developing into an operating organization. First, the board of directors for this developing hospice were the …
