Social dysfunction and mental illness in a community sample.

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of the association between psychiatric disorders and various social problems. The Diagnostic Interview Schedule was administered to a community sample of 3258 individuals and the association between eight "core" psychiatric disorders and eight social problem behaviours was determined. The results confirmed findings from many clinical studies that had previously found a strong relationship between social problem behaviours and mental illness. However, certain disorders tended to be associated with specific problems. In addition, a positive association was found between the number of social problems exhibited and the prevalence of psychiatric disorder. These data suggest the presence of a common underlying factor (or factors) and call into question the common practice of creating separate services for each definable social problem that arises.

Communication skill and behaviour disorder.

The aim was to identify changes in communication skills and behaviour disorder of 15 clients with learning difficulties 6 mo. and 1 yr. after they moved from large- to small-scale accommodations. Clients were allocated into a group of 6 with profound multiple learning difficulties, a preverbal group of 5, and a verbal group of 4. Communication skills were measured using the Preverbal Communication Schedule, and behavioural disorder was measured using the Aberrant Behaviour Checklist. Analysis showed that from the baseline to one year follow-up, there was a significant increase from baseline in social withdrawal by the clients with multiple difficulties but that there were improvements in communication skills of both preverbal and verbal clients. No control group was involved.

[Comparative description of the clientele of an educational psychotherapeutic home for children with behavior disorders].

Two groups of children who were taken in care during two different periods (each of five years) by a psychotherapeutic institution are compared in respect to the multi-axial classification system and demographic variables. Each group consists of 80 children. Comparisons were made to check propagated preconceived ideas about aggravation of clientele. The number of social behavior disorders, of specific developmental retardation, social and familial adversities, age by residential placement, level of intelligence did not change. Significant decrease was found in the number of earlier non-familial placement, significant increase in the number of children with minimal brain dysfunction. The findings are discussed and the necessity of basic documentation accentuated.
