Rape crisis intervention in the emergency room: a new challenge for social work.

The emerging role of the social worker in the context of rape crisis programs housed in hospital emergency rooms is examined. A brief review of the psychological impact of rape on its victims is offered as a background for delineating this role. The emergency room setting is analyzed in terms of the advantages and disadvantages it presents for this type of crisis intervention. Significant issues of care for the social worker in this setting are discussed, and an outline of tasks for this role is proposed.

On the therapeutic aspects of psychiatric admission.

Notwithstanding the current interest in different aspects of admission to psychiatric facilities, the actual procedures for admission have been neglected. Their therapeutic importance is here emphasized using the notion of a therapeutic contract that incorporates patients, families and professionals. Clarification of expectations and roles among the parties to this contract is essential to achieving an understanding of the patient-clinician relationship. An admission conference is proposed as conductive to reaching these goals.
