Facilitating a therapeutic milieu in the families of schizophrenia.

For many years, mental health professionals and the families of schizophrenics have coexisted in an atmosphere of mutual distrust and hostility. In this paper, we would like to present some of our experiences in creating a more productive relationship with the families of long-term schizophrenic clients in an aftercare setting. We have found that it is possible to engage these families as allies in the long and difficult process of psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy and resocialization. In many instances, these families actually provide several of the major functions of a vital therapeutic milieu, including containment, support, and structure (Gunderson, 1978).

Evaluation of insertion methods for composite resin restorations.

Laboratory studies were carried out to determine if there was one superior method to achieve the most intimate contact of a composite resin with its cavity walls. Three dentists restored 48 teeth by eight different techniques with two different composite resins. Photomicrographs showed very little difference in the size of the gap between tooth and composite resin regardless of which method was employed. The gap was smallest in the cavosurface area and greatest at the axio-occlusal line angle.
