Behaviour therapy in psychiatric and mental handicap nursing.

This paper presents an overview of the evaluation study conducted between November 1977 and December 1978. The study involved twenty nurses who had completed the Behaviour Therapy Course of the Scottish Committee for Clinical Nursing Studies. It provides an overview of the former students' engagement in behaviour therapy on completion of the course. The study was conducted approximately 6 months after each student had returned to their parent hospital, unit or to new posts. The information was collected by circulation of a questionnaire. The report summarizes the returns presented by the individual nurses. Additional information or comments were supplied by several of the former students: unsolicited communications of this nature are acknowledged where they appear in the text, by the indication of an asterisk.

Behavior therapy for autistic children: a study of acceptability and outcome.

An inpatient program for autistic children which used behavior modification methods is described, and a follow-up study of the first 15 children discharged from the program is reported. In general, the outcome results appear to be comparable to those of other treatment methods. A second main purpose of the study was to assess the acceptability of this program to parents and to document their impressions regarding their child's period of inpatient care. Overall, a high level of acceptability was found.

A study of the heights and weights of different groups of disturbed children.

Mean centile heights and weights of 346 children referred to a child psychiatric clinic were recorded and compared with the psychiatric diagnoses of the children. Neurotic boys were found to have significantly greater mean centile heights than boys with (a) conduct disorders and (b) specific developmental disorders. No significant difference was found in the girls. The difference in boys' heights was not associated with any significant difference in social class, family size, or position in the family. No significant weight differences were found. The results are discussed, and it is concluded that the relationship between physical growth and psychiatric disorder in children merits further investigation.
