Abstract

Information on treatment and rehabilitation approaches for persons with serious mental illness was examined in 28 introductory and 14 abnormal psychology textbooks. Both drug and hospital treatment received significantly more coverage than did community rehabilitation approaches in both types of texts. In introductory texts, community rehabilitation received no more coverage than lobotomy. Texts were also examined for their mention of 12 community rehabilitation approaches in current practice. Both types of texts gave a dated presentation of mental health services. However, description of community approaches in abnormal textbooks was more detailed and research-based than in introductory texts. It was hypothesized that textbook coverage mirrors the lack of psychiatric rehabilitation research reported in psychological journals.

摘要

在28本入门心理学教材和14本变态心理学教材中，对严重精神疾病患者的治疗和康复方法的信息进行了考察。在这两类教材中，药物治疗和住院治疗得到的篇幅显著多于社区康复方法。在入门教材中，社区康复得到的篇幅并不比脑叶切除术多。还考察了这些教材对当前实践中12种社区康复方法的提及情况。两类教材对心理健康服务的介绍都过时了。然而，变态心理学教材中对社区方法的描述比入门教材更详细且基于研究。据推测，教材的篇幅反映了心理学杂志上报道的精神病康复研究的缺乏。
