Item A Proposal to Evaluate the Use of the Global Assessment Scale in the Kalamazoo County Mental Health System(1982-09-01) Mencarelli, SusanAn evaluation of the use of the GAS/PPB Matrix in the Kalamazoo County Mental Health System would help to determine the value ot the matrix, to guide the further implementation of the Matrix in Kalamazoo County and to aid the Kalamazoo County Mental Health Board in their decision making processes regarding the GAS/PPB Matrix. An undertaking of this evaluation involves first understanding evaluation as an art and a science and second drafting an evaluation design. After these two steps are completed, a formal proposal could be written and submitted to possible funding sourcesas well as to the Kalamazoo County Mental Health Board. Though the KCMH board has been collecting and submitting GAS/PPB data to the MDMH, it has not yet developed a way of utilizing this data. Also, The board composed of 12 volunteers from the community is interested in an evaluation of the use of the Matrix. Thus, there exists sufficient interest in the Matrix in the Kalamazoo County Mental Health System to merit an evaluation.Item Reference Groups in Psychiatric Facilities for Adolescents(1982-01-01) Robak, Rebecca; Grossman, Robert W., 1943-2012This fall, as I began an internship at the Constance Bultman Wilson Center, a psychiatric facility for adolescents, I found myself classifying patients as to whether they were ·popular at their hometown high schools or not. I was amazed at how all the patients se-emed "normal", -dressing, talking and acting like adolescents who were at a boarding school and not at a psychiatric hospital. I found that those patients who did not seem symptomatic of mental illness I classified as popular, while those whose symptoms were more observable I classified as probably being somewhat of outcasts at thEat.' hometown. I wondered how the patients, both popular and unpopular felt about being a resident of a psychiatric institution, and how this would affect their status at home,Item Perforance Appraisals and Sex Effects(1982-09-27) Damm, Nancy E.The purpose of this paper is to promote legal, effective performance appraisal systems through a -review of several rating systems and their development. From a feminine perspective, effective performance appraisals can provide the means for more promotions of women into middle- and upper-income positions. The female worker is not the exception anymore. Unfortunately, as Unger (1979, p. 346) states, two-thirds of the women working full-time, year-round, had annual incomes below ~5,000 (as compared with less than 35 percent of men). Furthermore, women who work outside the home are concentrated in a narrow range of occupations. Eighty-five percent of all working-women are found in low-level white-collar or seryice occupations. Disparities between the sexes are particularly marked 1n terms of earning power. For year-round, full-time workers, Kreps, as reported by Unger (1979), found the female median to be 58 percent of the male 1s. Moreover, the sex-related differences in earning~ of full-time workers has been increasing -- in 1956 the female median was 63 percent of the male•s. When men and women working in the same occupations were compared, women still made a lower wage than men. Featherman and Hauser·(l976) suggested that sexual discrimination accounted for 84 percent of the earnings gap between women and men in 1973.Item Migraines : Parameters, Etiology and Operant Intervention(1982-03-01) Hutchinson, Cynthia A.Item A Review of the Theory of Objective Self Awareness and Related Issues(1982-09-01) Henschke, Berry; Supnick, Lonnie E., 1940-
