The hormone replacement therapy controversy.

The issue of hormone replacement treatment for menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, various cardiac problems, and other disorders has received a great deal of attention. Recent data concerning the benefits and risks have changed ideas about indications and contra-indications. In this paper we will consider the multiple factors that determine an individual woman's decision about taking or continuing to take hormone replacement therapy, not only the medical indications. We will discuss the established benefits of replacement therapy, conditions for which the benefits are not established, areas of controversy, risks of treatment, and factors underlying the decisions about undergoing the treatment.

Coping resources and health responses among men and women medical students.

The structures and pressures of medical education raise particular concerns about how coping resources vary among students as they enter training. Most past studies have focussed on male students. Our data considers the coping and health-related responses of men and women students during the initial phase of their socialization into medicine. Subjects were 179 men and 80 women in entering classes of two medical schools who completed a variety of self-report measures. A multivariate analysis of these data revealed profile differences between men and women on measures of coping and health-related responses. Univariate tests demonstrated sex differences in mastery, number of health symptoms and reliance on alcohol. Men and women, however, showed similarly high esteem and use of social networks. The variation observed between men and women medical students as they begin their training suggests different potential sources of vulnerability. The importance of these findings is to provide a context of initial coping repertoires of men and women medical students for future evaluation of the effects of socialization.

Earn-as-you-go pressures in academic psychiatry.

The future of academic psychiatry may be seriously jeopardized by recent funding cutbacks at federal and state levels. Hospitals and departments of psychiatry are having to function as businesses, and full-time faculty are increasingly concerned with profits, with less time for teaching. Shrinking departmental resources make it necessary for faculty to assume the new responsibility--in addition to their administrative, educational, and teaching roles--of generating large portions of their own salaries from private patient care revenues. Residents' opportunities to work with psychotherapy patients are being compromised by financial considerations. Other actual or potential consequences of the fiscal dilemma include decreased teaching of medical students and lessened scholarly productivity.

Psychotherapy supervision: the problem of conflicting values.

Psychotherapy supervision offers an opportunity for examination of value differences between therapist and patient and therapist and supervisor. Effects of availability of female supervisors are discussed in relation to these value differences affecting referrals, therapeutic goals, assessment of psychopathology, termination, and supervision of cojoint therapy. Advocacy and ombudsman function of the female supervisor in a training program are emphasized.
