Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO examined the methodologies of current population estimates of the number of homeless chronically mentally ill persons to: (1) determine the soundness of current estimates; and (2) identify the best available methods for getting sound estimates. GAO found that: (1) although there were no sound national estimates of the number of homeless persons who were chronically mentally ill, there were some relatively sound local estimates on both homeless persons and the chronically mentally ill; (2) while the estimates would not apply nationally, the methods used were applicable on a larger scale; (3) many of the estimates had methodological flaws associated with a high degree of uncertainty or bias that could lead to underestimates or overestimates; (4) of the 10 studies that GAO rated technically sound, 9 were based on surveys or censes and one was based on utilization data; (5) the rates of homelessness ranged between 6 and 95 per 10,000 in the study communities and were related to the quality of methodology; (6) analysis of a methodology judged to be of a higher quality lowered the range by almost half; (7) the proportion of homeless persons identified as mentally ill was between one-fifth and one-third, in the judgment of service providers, and between one-sixth and one-half using standardized instruments; and (8) because the definition of homelessness varies and homelessness itself could contribute to behavior and appearances that suggest mental illness, counting homeless mentally ill persons is never entirely precise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often described as an emergency, homelessness in America is becoming a chronic condition that reflects an overall decline in the nation's standard of living and the general state of the economy. This is the disturbing conclusion drawn by Martha Burt in Over the Edge, a timely book that takes a clear-eyed look at the astonishing surge in the homeless population during the 1980s. Assembling and analyzing data from 147 U.S. cities, Burt documents the increase in homelessness and proposes a comprehensive explanation of its causes, incorporating economic, personal, and policy determinants. Her unique research answers many provocative questions: Why did homelessness continue to spiral even after economic conditions improved in 1983? Why is it significantly greater in cities with both high poverty rates and high per capita income? What can be done about the problem? Burt points to the significant catalysts of homelessness—the decline of manufacturing jobs in the inner city, the increased cost of living, the tight rental housing market, diminished household income, and reductions in public benefit programs—all of which exert pressures on the more vulnerable of the extremely poor. She looks at the special problems facing the homeless, including the growing number of mentally ill and chemically dependent individuals, and explains why certain groups—minorities and low-skilled men, single men and women, and families headed by women—are at greatest risk of becoming homeless. Burt's analysis reveals that homelessness arises from no single factor, but is instead perpetuated by pivotal interactions between external social and economic conditions and personal vulnerabilities. From an understanding of these interactions, Over the Edge builds lucid, realistic recommendations for policymakers struggling to alleviate a situation of grave consequence for our entire society.

Download or read book The Cross Cultural Practice of Clinical Case Management in Mental Health written by Peter Manoleas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover a culturally competent model of clinical case management in mental health practice settings. In The Cross-Cultural Practice of Clinical Case Management, author Peter Manoleas synthesizes some of the existent thinking on case management in cross-cultural psychotherapy settings and develops an effective model of clinical case management for mental health practitioners. The person-in-environment approach leads mental health professionals to realize that case managers and their clients must deal with a variety of cultures within the treatment environment. Rehabilitation programs, substance abuse programs, public assistance, the police, and especially psychiatry itself, are each characterized by their own 'cultures.’These may, at times, conflict with or present significant dissonance with the client's own ethnic culture. The Cross-Cultural Practice of Clinical Case Management advocates that the role of “culture broker” be added to the list of activities for effective clinical case managers. Several of the major ethnic groups represented in public mental health populations are examined, as well as other topics relevant to the daily practice of mental health professionals: Effective cross-cultural crisis intervention The culture of homelessness Women and the mental health system Asians and Pacific Islanders Latinos African Americans Native Americans Seriously Emotionally Disturbed Children The Cross-Cultural Practice of Clinical Case Management is of interest to practicing mental health professionals in the public sector as those systems convert from individual therapy to case management models of service delivery. Increasing numbers of ethnic minorities in public systems and the emphasis on cultural competence will make all of the topics of interest to many readers.
