The architectural design of a psychotherapeutic milieu.

The physical environment of a treatment program affects patient outcome, but how and to what degree is not known. However, decisions about the design of the environment must be made, and they must be made in the face of cost and building-code constraints and widely varying patient characteristics and treatment models. The authors describe the design principles and philosophies they followed in the remodeling of an in-patient treatment and research service in a university psychiatric hospital and indicate where cost and code constraints resulted in a less than ideal solution. They point out that many apparent amenities, such as a ward kitchen, are significant milieu therapy resources, and they advocate the involvement of all levels of staff in the planning process.

Marital stability among physicians.

Analysis of 57,514 initial complaints for divorce, separate maintenance, and annulment filed in California during the first six months of 1968 reveals that physicians are considerably less prone to marital failure than men of comparable age in the general population. Furthermore, when compared to professionals in general, doctors also appear less prone to marital collapse. For physicians, marriages break down in the greatest numbers and at the greatest rate between the ages of 35 and 44. Women doctors are at least 40% more prone to marital instability than men, and black physicians are nearly 70% more prone to divorce than their white colleagues. Of the individual specialists, orthopedists and psychiatrists possibly have the highest rates of marital demise.
