Physical examinations in psychiatric practice in Ohio.
In 1974 members of the Ohio Psychiatric Association were surveyed to determine the extent to which psychiatrists performed physical examinations and their attitudes toward conducting such examinations. Responses from 222 psychiatrists showed that most believed psychiatric patients should have a physical examination, but that it should be conducted by a physician other than a psychiatrist. Those who felt more confident in their diagnostic skills tended to perform examinations more frequently than psychiatrists who were unsure of their skills. Regardless of whether they performed examinations, the respondents were almost universal in the belief that their medical training and experience added an important dimension to their skills.

Collaboration between Ohio psychiatrists and the legislature to update commitment laws.
The author describes how the Ohio Psychiatric Association (OPA) worked with the state legislature to ensure that the revision of Ohio's laws regarding involuntary commitment of the mentally ill reflected what psychiatrists felt to be in the best interests of patients. The OPA was successful in changing the definition of "persons subject to hospitalization by court order," in abolishing suggested 90-day and 180-day limits on the hospitalization of certain kinds of patients, in supporting the participation of psychologists in the admission process after the presence of a medical examiner had been affirmed, and in protecting the confidentiality of private patients' records.
