A model community education program on depression and suicide in later life.

This paper describes the development and evaluation of a 3-hour multimedia community education program on depression and suicide in later life. Designed for families, older adults, and service providers, the program provides information and teaches skills needed to recognize and respond to depression and suicidal behavior in the elderly. Compared with a control group, program participants had significant gains in knowledge and in their intent to take appropriate action in support of a depressed person.

An educational consultative model for general practice training programs.

A behavioral science consultant has been retained by two hospital-based general practice residency (GPR) programs and one advanced program in general dentistry at the University of Rochester, and Eastman Dental Center, NY. This consultant is available throughout the year and serves as an external consultant who knows the programs well, and can be used as a source of information on various existing and potential issues and problems. The model used by the consultant has been inductive and is based on the expressed needs of faculty members, trainees, and directors. A number of issues or problems were identified, including faculty member morale, evaluation of residents' growth, resident and supporting staff relations, curriculum development, cooperation with other departments and institutions, and dealing with patients' anxiety to dental treatment. For each, a specific plan was developed. Various types of experiential techniques were used, including brainstorming, role playing, and taping and feedback. Didactic activities included minicourses and workshops in which standard teaching methods were used, such as lectures, seminar discussions, literature study, and demonstration. The model has evolved, and as each activity has succeeded, more faculty members have sought help from the consultant.

Development of a school building model for educating students with handicaps and at-risk students in general education classrooms.

This study, conducted in the context of a 4-year project to redesign special and remedial services in an elementary school, examined the effects of cooperative learning, cross-age tutoring, and in-class services for students with handicaps and remedial students. All students (524) in Grades 1 through 6 in two medium-sized elementary schools took part in the study. All three treatments were introduced into one of the schools, with the second school serving as a control. The cooperative learning treatment was delivered to all sixth-grade students, cross-age tutoring to special and remedial students in Grades 1 through 3, and the in-class services to all grade levels. Results indicated that, although the character of the instructional services changed markedly, none of the three treatments had much impact on achievement. Reasons for the findings are explored.

'The crisis in psychoanalysis': what crisis are we talking about?

In this paper the author argues that the so-called crisis in psychoanalysis, often blamed on various external factors, is in fact an internal crisis brought about by intrinsic incongruities between the explicit intention of its educational model, which aspires to educate and train in a professional and scientific discipline, and its organisational structure, locally and internationally inextricable. Its isolated basic units of ecumenical control--its traditional 'societies/institutes of psychoanalysis'--implicitly and explicitly co-impose the monastic transmission of a preponderantly doctrinaire education and clinical practice. The dysfunctional elongation of our historical organisational syncretism continues to force us, one century later, to amalgamate in and superimpose on an endogamous supraordaining system (i.e. our International Psychoanalytic Association) prerogatives and functions so contradictory that they are ordinarily considered irreconcilable, such as: education and scientific research (tasks of universities); societal and political (tasks of an ordinary society of professionals and technicians); and 'as if' certification and accreditation (tasks of external, local, interinstitutional collegiate bodies and independent, multirepresentative, national coalitions and consortia, as well as of local governmental legislation). The pervasive collective regressive phenomena derived from this homogamous and secluding organisational and educational syncretism has had a retardatory impact along all the hierarchy of our institutional activities. The future of psychoanalysis as a science and a clinical discipline must be nothing other than one of evolution and transformation. The survival of its legendary psychoanalytic institutes and societies, as well as its local and international organisation, with its inherited but now untenable syncretism, is that which is being questioned (that is, psychoanalysis as a 'movement' and a 'cause').

Comprehensive evaluation of a model alcohol education curriculum.

A comprehensive evaluation was conducted of a representative alcohol education program designed to enhance knowledge and self-esteem, instill appropriate attitudes and teach the decision-making skills necessary for youth to make responsible decisions about the use of alcohol. The curriculum was implemented approximately as intended. The immediate, cumulative and longer-term effects of curriculum exposure on the variables thought to mediate alcohol use were modest or unsystematic. There was no consistent evidence of carryover effects from curriculum exposure on subsequent use of alcohol, cigarettes or other drugs. The curriculum was ineffective in attaining its goals.
