“…[3][4][5][7][8][9][10] Among the main factors predicting the regional distribution of both the professionals and the services, is the local level of socioeconomic development. [3][4][5][7][8][9][10] In the socially disadvantaged areas the patients are treated in mental hospitals due to the lack of alternatives to mental hospital treatment. 7,8,25 In the case of Greece, despite the current reorganization of the whole mental health care delivery system towards a more decentralized form and the continuous board certification of new psychiatrists and mental health professionals, e.g.…”

“…Our results showing uneven geographical distribution, at the level of prefectures, of neuropsychiatrists, extramural mental health units, psychiatric beds and rehabilitation places are compatible with the findings previously reported. [3][4][5][7][8][9][10] However between 1984-1990 and 1996 increasing trends in the number of neuropsychiatrists have been observed in all regions. The greatest increase was noticed in the regions of central and western Greece where there were very few neuropsychiatrists working in 1984.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…This appears to follow a health maintenance organization (HMO) model of 1 medical specialist per 7,200 subscribers (Dorken & Rodgers, 1976), but it may not be an appropriate guideline for mental health providers because of overlap in the services of different disciplines. 1988;Dorken, Stapp, & VandenBos, 1986;Dorken & Webb, 1981), recent graduates (Stapp & Fulcher, 1982;Stapp, Fulcher, 2 Health planners have estimated a need of 6.5 to 12.5 psychiatrists per 100,000 (Koran, 1979;Liptzin, 1979;Yager & Borus, 1987) with a mean of approximately 10 per 100,000, but this may not be fully independent of the estimated need for psychologists.

“…2Health planners have estimated a need of 6.5 to 12.5 psychiatrists per 100,000 (Koran, 1979; Liptzin, 1979; Yager & Borus, 1987) with a mean of approximately 10 per 100,000, but this may not be fully independent of the estimated need for psychologists. Because psychiatry and psychology have divergent treatment approaches and do not coordinate training efforts, it seems imprabable that they have considered their individuals work force needs fully within the broader context that includes each other's human resources, as well as the combined work force of other mental health disciplines (e.g., social work, chemical dependency).…”

“…The methodology available for assessing manpower needs makes the task less than a scientific one (3,4,5). If there were no psychiatrists, some other group would emerge in society to fulfill the task in some way.…”
