Development of the male function profile/impotence questionnaire.

This paper describes three studies conducted to develop the Male Function Profile/Impotence Questionnaire as well as the psychometric properties of the instrument. The questionnaire is computer scored and, based on an interactional model, differentiates between organogenic and psychogenic causes for erectile dysfunction. Each subject is assigned one of 21 impotence profiles. Additional work-up recommendations are based on a breakdown and narrative describing all medical and psychological factors which bear on the subject's impotence.

The children's psychiatric hospital unit in the community: I. Concept and development.

The authors describe a children's mental health unit (CMHU) in a general hospital and cite the need for short- and intermediate-term children's psychiatric facilities within the community. They point out the special need for psychiatric inpatient units for the 3-13 age group and note that in their CMHU the average length of stay and patient turnover ratio compare favorably with adolescent units, which they attribute to the emphasis on diagnosis and treatment rather than long-term rehabilitation.
