Bridging the Gap Between Scientists and Practitioners: The Challenge Before Us – Republished Article
2016, Behavior TherapyCitation Excerpt :Although there are several unique historical reasons for the separation of science and practice in the alcohol field (Pattison, Sobell, & Sobell, 1977), a perusal of the published clinical literature reveals that a similar state of affairs exists in other areas. For example, Paul and Menditto (1992) asserted that public psychiatric inpatient programs have been historically neglected, and “as in many other areas of psychology, medicine, and human services, it is astonishing that public policy and practices for inpatient treatment of the adult mentally ill developed and continue without being scientifically informed about program effectiveness” (p. 56). Arguing that the time for rapprochement is now, Paul and Menditto asserted that years of mutual distrust and name calling must be set aside, although they also caution that respect and trust take time to develop.
Predictors of length of stay in forensic psychiatry: The influence of perceived risk of violence
2014, International Journal of Law and PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Many factors are known to influence length of stay on general psychiatric wards (Creed, Tomenson, Anthony, & Tramner, 1997). The chronicity of a patient's illness, his or her premorbid functioning, socioeconomic status, and current level of functioning have recurrently been related to the course of treatment, length of stay, and institutional outcome in psychiatric care (Paul & Menditto, 1992). In forensic psychiatric care an additional dimension that affects the treatment process has been added in the form of risk management, which aims to protect patients from destructive and violent behaviours.

Throughout this paper the term “mentally ill” is used without qualification. This term is merely a communicative convenience, referring to persons who suffer from severe emotional, behavioral, and mental problems and disabilities that are typically associated with the term. Despite the authoritative pronouncements of many, there is no solid evidence that the basis for these severe problems lies either in brain disease or in malevolent parent-child interaction; specific causative factors are generally unknown and typically remain at the level of strengthened hypotheses that interactively involve biological, psychological, and social factors for any given individual or group (see Paul, 1990; Paul & Lentz, in press). The term “patient” is similarly used in this paper because the majority of clientele in hospital treatment settings are traditionally referred to in this manner. The authors prefer the terms “client” or “consumer” to refer to the recipients of services in any setting, and the reader so disposed can make the appropriate substitution.
