High-, average- and low-rated clergymen in a state hospital clinical program

Abstract

89duration, with a high rate of return to duty. Decisions with regard t o the return to duty disposition for the alcoholics appeared to be based largely on pay grade and diagnosis.Successful outcome was related directly to level of military status. The older service member with an expressed career orientation is returned to duty and generally succeeds. Recent disciplinary trouble was the most discriminating characteristic of the younger alcoholic. Sixty-four (64) percent success is as good an outcome proportion as is found in the general psychiatric population. With the short hospitalization time and discrimination possible between chronic versus acute diagnoses, rated vs. unrated men, and good us. poor disciplinary records, treatment of the man diagnosed alcoholic can benefit the man and the service.

Self-actualization level as a predictor of practicum supervision effectiveness.

“…An attempt to operationally define the self-actualization construct has resulted in a measure of the values and behaviors believed to be of importance in the development of self-actualization. This measure, the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI; Shostrom, 1963), has stimulated a growing body of research linking counseling effectiveness and measured selfactualization (Foulds, 1969;Jansen & Garvey, 1973;McClain, 1970;Selfridge & Vander Kolk, 1976).…”

Self‐Actualization of Clergymen Rated High and Low in Clinical Competencies

“…Two previous studies have used counseling and clinical competency measures to study clergymen involved in educational programs to become better counselors. Jansen and Garvey (1973) compared clergymen rated high, average, and low in clinical competence by their supervisor upon completion of a 12-week Association for Clinical Pastoral Education ( ACPE )-accredited program of clinical pastoral education. High-rated clergymen, as a group, emerged as significantly more intelligent than either averageor lowrated clergymen.…”
