Educating the future mental health executive: a public health approach.

The mental health program we are developing at the Yale School of Public Health has as its basic element a broad introduction to the concepts and principles of public health and mental health administration and is rooted in conern for community well-being. It is our belief that this combination of public health - mental health training will produce administrators for mental health, psychiatric and human resource agencies who will be able to design, implement, manage, and evaluate programs that improve mental health and help communities evaluate and structure the human services they need.

Community psychiatry and the Pan American Health Organization: the Jamaican experience.

The development of a modern psychiatric service in Jamaica and the role played by PAHO consultants in this development is described. Some fundamental points are raised: -It is essential that a director of mental health services and a senior psychiatric nurse be given senior positions in the Ministry of Health so that the psychiatric services receive due attention and are integrated closely with the other health services. -The local training of psychiatric professionals of all categories is essential for such a service and should be given priority by the Government. -The intelligent use of a large number of briefly trained individuals is the only way to provide psychiatric coverage in a developing country. -PAHO consultants assigned to work in a developing country over an extended period can play a useful role in the introduction of contemporary psychiatric services.

This study, initially aimed at preparation of a guide for state and local administrators and service providers responsible for EPSDT developmental assessment and treatment, concludes that EPSDT, as currently constituted, cannot adequately meet the urgent developmental needs of the poor children it is meant to serve. Professional and administrative limitations of the program are outlined, and pilot studies to seek sound solutions are suggested.

[Prognosis in severe dyslexia].

37 children with a mean reading retardation of 4,3 years were placed full time in a specialized centre. All had failed in school in spite of remedial training and/or psychotherapy. The goal of the centre is to separate linguistic and non-linguistic subjects. The non-linguistic subjects were taught with the aid of audio-visual methods in order to relieve the dyslexics of the burden of written language. If progress with reading and spelling was slow, audio-visual instruction enabled these children to reach or exceed 5th grade level in non-linguistic subjects. 80% of them were able to go on to vocational schools. At the same time, there was a very favorable improvement in their behavior (P less than 0.001), which is a prerequisite in the prevention of juvenile delinquency and an essential step in social and professional integration. These favorable results emphasize the part audio-visual instruction should play in severe dyslexia.
