“…A more detailed description of the characteristics of the Ss who constituted three of the present four samples can be found in the earlier Matarazzo, et al (') and Klonoff,et al C3,4 ) reports. I n brief, the normal sample is a group of 29 young, medically healthy, Portland patrolmen.…”

In a 1974 study Matarazzo, et al. reported the test-retest reliability of the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery for a sample of normal young men and a comparison group of older Ss with cerebrovascular disease. The present study extended this earlier one by addition of comparable test-retest findings from two additional comparison groups: a sample of chronic schizophrenic Ss and a sample of organic patients who underwent endarterectomy. Despite the lack of comparability across the four samples on many dimensions, including age and test-retest interval, the results again reveal a high degree of clinical as well as purely psychometric reliability for most of the tests in the neuropsychological battery and the additional suggestion for further research that the test-retest instability found for some of the Ss in the schizophrenic sample may, itself, hold promise of differential clinical significance in the diagnosis of a "schizophrenic" vs. "organic" process.

Assessing the need for Psychiatric Care

This paper reviews the methodology employed in assessing the extent and characteristics of persons needing psychiatric care. Surveys of the need for physicians' care for any type of disorder (as well as psychiatric) are characterized by problems associated with: a) Diagnostic process b) Social factors in attending physicians c) The natural history of the disorder d) Definitions of impairment, disability and handicap e) Clinical insignificance of some statistically significant factors. Case-finding in psychiatry has additional problems associated with the use of symptom questionnaires; the criterion of work limitation; and the question of past versus present disability. Determination of the type of psychiatrists' care required is also of paramount importance. One should not equate symptoms with illness; nor symptoms with a need for psychiatrists' care. Community surveys have not yet been able to provide valid estimates of the nature or extent of psychiatrists' care required.
