“…However, the act of choosing might do much to equalize this inherent therapist-client power imbalance. Anthony and Buell (1973) and Anthony, Buell, Sharratt, and Altoff (1972) Equally important might be the effects on the chosen therapists.…”

This study compared the therapeutic progress of three randomly assigned groups (n = 14 in each group) of community mental health center clients: (a) clients who viewed a slide/sound presentation about all available therapists and chose their own therapist; (b) clients who viewed the presentation and were assigned to a therapist by the center's clinical director; (c) clients who were assigned to a therapist by the clinical director without seeing the presentation. There were no significant differences among the three groups in their initial reaction to the clinic, number of therapy sessions, type of termination, severity of presenting problems, General Well-Being Schedule scores, Current Adjustment Rating Scale scores, or therapist's satisfaction with therapy. Further analysis revealed that three out of four clients had improved significantly as a result of therapy. It was concluded that in the absence of research evidence demonstrating the efficacy of client choice on therapy outcome, support for the notion of client choice must be based solely on social, ethical, and legal considerations.

“…Similarly, other studies (Birchwood, Mason, MacMillan & Healy, 1993; Geddes et al, 1994) found that severity and type of depression among persons with schizophrenia were able to predict rehospitalization. However, Anthony & Buell (1973), Swett (1995) and Haywood and colleagues (1995) found diagnosis to be unrelated to hospital readmission. Green (1988) reported frequent hospitalizations for a significantly higher proportion of people with major affective disorders than for other diagnostic groups.…”

“…While most studies have shown that rehospitalization rates are lower for individuals who receive aftercare services compared to those who do not (Free and Dodd, 1961;Beard et al, 1963;Hornstra and McPartland, 1963;Mendel and Rappaport, 1963;Greenblatt et al, 1963;Purvis and Miskimins, 1970;Anthony and Buell, 1973;Smith et al, 1974;Winston et al, 1977), other studies show no differences between aftercare and no-aftercare groups (Brown et al, 1966;Michaux et al, 1969;Mayer et al, 1973;Franklin et al, 1975). Kirk (1976) attributes these diverse findings to differences in methodology, outcome measures, length of follow-up, type and size of patient samples, and treatment settings.…”

Clients ready for discharge from the Fresno County Department of Health Acute Psychiatric Unit were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 71) or a control group (n = 72). The individuals in the experimental group received community follow-up services from one of four psychiatric social workers for a period of 30 days after their discharge from the acute psychiatric unit. The control group received no follow-up ser vices from the project staff. The evaluation of the project was based on a period of 60 days following each client's discharge from the hospital. The results showed that posthospital community follow-up, as provided in this demonstration project, is effective in preventing or at least delaving rehospitalization, without increasing the cost of mental health care.
