Developing family planning services for female chronic mentally ill outpatients.

The family planning needs of chronic mentally ill women outpatients, many of whom do not use contraceptives and are at high risk for unwanted pregnancies, have been rarely addressed. Taking a thorough sexual history is the first step in assessing patients' need for family planning services. Patient education, including instruction about physiological processes and contraceptive methods and assertiveness training, is the most important service component. Offering family planning services in the mental health center has many advantages, including better communication between mental health care providers and family planning specialists about patients' special needs and enhanced opportunities for integrating family planning with other programs such as parenting classes, substance abuse treatment, and services for preventing sexually transmitted diseases.

Current progress and future plans for developing effective treatments: comments and perspectives.

Examined the conclusions and implications of articles in this special issue. Treatments can be differentiated on their empirical basis and, for the problems reviewed, one can identify treatments of choice. To build on the documented advances, we provide a blueprint for progress in treatment research. The blueprint focuses on a series of steps that involve conceptualization of clinical dysfunction and treatment, supportive research on these conceptual views, careful specification of treatment, evaluation of treatment outcome, and tests of mediators and moderators of treatment. To improve research, we recommend expanding assessment, addressing a broad range of questions about treatment, attending to measures of clinical significance, replicating key findings, and investigating the transportability of the findings to service-oriented clinical settings.
