Aftermath of a disaster: the collapse of the Hyatt Regency Hotel skywalks.

The author provides data regarding psychiatric symptoms reported by 102 persons who had experienced the collapse of two skywalks in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City, Mo. Those interviewed were injured victims, guests of the hotel who were not injured, and rescue workers. They were interviewed within 5 months of the disaster. Virtually all of the subjects had psychiatric symptoms; only slight differences were found among those who were victims, observers, or rescuers.

Human ecology and mental illness.

Psychiatrists and others in the mental health field have long been aware that forces within the surrounding social network effect both favorably and unfavorably the individual psyche and the course of mental illness, but the systematic use of such factors in therapy and prevention has awaited a model. The authors identify a beginning yet workable approach to what an APA task force termed "ecopsychiatry"; the model proposed is not that of traditional linear or cause-and-effect perspectives but is based on a systemic model derived originally form biological ecology.

An examination of the federal psychiatric training grant peer review process.

The authors present some of the criticisms that have been leveled against the federal peer review system of approving or disapproving monetary grants. They then summarize the process used by the National Institute of Mental Health's Psychiatry Education Branch to judge grant applications, focusing on the disposition of 527 applications reviewed in November 1974-January 1975. They found that the wide distribution of the reviewers by geography, subspecialty, experience, sex, and ethnicity, plus the steps taken to guard against bias and ensure fairness, were effective, refuting many of the criticisms of the group peer review process.
