Abstract

The authors evaluated six acute short-stay admission wards in a community mental health center using the sociometric Ward Atmosphere Scale. There was an attempt to run three of the six wards as therapeutic communities. No differences were found on Ward Atmosphere Scale dimensions between the therapeutic communities and other types of programs, nor did the therapeutic communities conform to an empirically derived therapeutic community program dimension profile. Possible reasons for this failure and its implications for community mental health centers are discussed.

摘要

作者使用社会测量病房氛围量表对一家社区心理健康中心的六个急性短期住院病房进行了评估。研究尝试将六个病房中的三个作为治疗社区来运作。在病房氛围量表维度上，治疗社区与其他类型的项目之间未发现差异，治疗社区也未符合基于实证得出的治疗社区项目维度概况。本文讨论了此次失败的可能原因及其对社区心理健康中心的影响。
