Behavioral Approaches to Partial Hospitalization

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Applied Clinical Psychology ((NSSB))

Abstract

The Community Mental Health movement has been referred to as the third “revolution” in the history of psychiatry (Liberman, King, & DeRisi, 1976). The first was the humanization of treatment methods by Pinel, Tuke, Dix, and a limited number of other social activists of that time (Ewalt & Ewalt, 1969; Goshen, 1967). The second was the pervasive influence of psychoanalysis. Reform in the care of mental patients in the United States began more than a hundred years ago as part of a larger social movement that included prison reform, abolition of slavery, and women’s suffrage (Bloom, 1975). But the wave of optimism and belief in human perfectability that was eminent at that time dimmed considerably over the next several decades. The moral-treatment movement was nearly destroyed as state mental hospitals grew in size and number while the quality of treatment deteriorated. States allocated too little money to provide adequate care for patients and there were not enough training programs to produce a sufficient number of skilled people to staff the hospitals.
