Would more mental illness services help general practitioners manage their difficult patients?

It is argued that the type of local specialist services and the extent of their use are largely the outcome of negotiations between general practitioners and their patients. A study was carried out on behalf of a health care planning team for the mentally ill to discover whether more mental illness services would help general practitioners manage their difficult patients. The findings led to some developments in problem-oriented services but not mental illness services in general.

The generalization of new behaviours and maintenance of programme contingencies in a chronic locked ward.

The paper presents the results of a behavioural programme designed to increase social interaction and activity in the locked ward of a psychiatric hospital. The intervention used a method of information feedback to staff to encourage them to make informed choices of targets and methods of change. The rationale was that this would enhance generalization and programme maintenance. Evidence is presented to show the extent of change obtained after 6 months.
