electroencephalography computed tomography and violence ratings of male patients in a maximum security Mental Hospital
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 1994Co-Authors: Michael T H Wong, John Lumsden, George W Fenton, Peter B C FenwickAbstract:A retrospective study of brain investigations of 372 male patients in a maximum-security Mental Hospital patients is described. All computed tomography (CT) scan and electroencephalography (EEG) reports were collected and rated blind; patients were subsequently divided into 3 groups according to the violence rating of their pre-admission offending behaviour. The 3 groups were similar in their mean age, psychiatric diagnosis, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale score and proportions of patients investigated with EEG and CT. In the most violent group, 20% had focal temporal electrical abnormalities on EEG (slowing and/or sharp waves) and 41% had structural abnormalities localised to temporal lobe on CT (dilated temporal horn and/or reduced size of temporal lobe). The corresponding figures for the least violent group are 2.4% and 6.7% respectively. These results suggest that high violence rating scores are associated with temporal lobe abnormalities on CT and abnormal temporal electrical discharges on EEG.

perceived coercion in Mental Hospital admission pressures and process
Archives of General Psychiatry, 1995Co-Authors: Charles W Lidz, William Gardner, John Monahan, Edward P Mulvey, Steven K Hoge, Nancy S Bennett, Loren H RothAbstract:Background: Patients' perceptions of coercion in admission may affect their attitude toward subsequent treatment, including their inclination to adhere to treatment plans. This study looks at the determinants of patients' perceptions of coercion. Methods: A sample of 157 patients admitted to a rural Virginia state Hospital and a Pennsylvania community Hospital were interviewed within 48 hours of admission about their experience of coming to the Hospital. All subjects were 17 years or older. Diagnoses were diverse, and 42% were involuntarily committed. The interview gathered an openended description of the admission experience followed by a structured interview that included several measures. Results: Perceptions of being respectfully included in a fair decision-making process ("procedural justice") and legal status were most closely associated with perceived coercion, and a significant relationship was found with perceived negative pressures, ie, force and threats. However, only procedural justice was related to the perception of coercion at both sites and with both voluntary and involuntary patients. Conclusions: Patients' feelings of being coerced concerning admission appears to be closely related to their sense of procedural justice. It may be that clinicians can minimize the experience of coercion even among those legally committed by attending more closely to procedural justice issues.

Mental Hospital reform in asia the case of yuli veterans Hospital taiwan
International Journal of Mental Health Systems, 2009Co-Authors: Chihyuan Lin, Ailing Huang, Harry Minas, Alex S CohenAbstract:Background Yuli Veterans Hospital (YVH) has been the largest Mental Hospital for the patients with chronic and severe Mental illness in Taiwan for the past 50 years. While this Hospital used to be a symbol of hopelessness among patients and their families and an unspoken shame among Taiwan psychiatry and Mental health circles it now represents an example of how an old, custodial Hospital can be transformed into a very different institution. In this case study we will describe the features of this transformation, which, over the past 20 years, has aimed to help extended stay inpatients with severe Mental illness to integrate into the local community of Yuli even though it is not their original home.

Mental Hospital reform in asia the case of yuli veterans Hospital taiwan
International Journal of Mental Health Systems, 2009Co-Authors: Chihyuan Lin, Ailing Huang, Harry Minas, Alex S CohenAbstract:Yuli Veterans Hospital (YVH) has been the largest Mental Hospital for the patients with chronic and severe Mental illness in Taiwan for the past 50 years. While this Hospital used to be a symbol of hopelessness among patients and their families and an unspoken shame among Taiwan psychiatry and Mental health circles it now represents an example of how an old, custodial Hospital can be transformed into a very different institution. In this case study we will describe the features of this transformation, which, over the past 20 years, has aimed to help extended stay inpatients with severe Mental illness to integrate into the local community of Yuli even though it is not their original home. Using historical documents and oral narratives from Yuli inhabitants, workers and patients of YVH, we will offer a case study of the Yuli model. There are four main components of the Yuli model: holistic medical support, vocational rehabilitation, case management, and the residential program. The four components help patients recover two essential features of their lives: vocational life and ordinary daily routines. As the process of recovery evolves, patients gradually regain inner stability, dignity, self-confidence, and a sense of control. The four components are critical to rebuild the structure and order of life of the patients and are indispensable and interdependent parts of one service package. They operate simultaneously to benefit the patients to the greatest degree possible. There are many challenges to the further development and financial viability of the model of services developed at YVH. There are also important questions concerning the replicability of the Yuli model in other sociocultural and service system contexts. This case study reveals the possibility of transforming a custodial Mental Hospital into a Hospital providing high quality care. Hospital and community are not in opposition. They are part of a continuum of care for the patients. We reinterpret and redefine the boundary and function of Hospital and community, and thereby create a new service model, the Yuli Model, to help patients to reintegrate into the community. The Yuli model, which particularly focuses on the needs of people with long-standing illness and prolonged Hospital stay, illustrates one approach to linking Hospital and community in a creative and constructive manner.
