Abstract
INVESTIGATED THE DEGREE OF AGREEMENT AMONG STAFF MEMBERS FROM 8 PROFESSIONAL GROUPS (PSYCHOLOGISTS, SOCIAL WORKERS, PSYCHIATRISTS, TEACHERS, REHABILITATION WORKERS, NURSES, AND MALE AND FEMALE TECHNICIANS) WITH RESPECT TO THEIR PATIENT PERCEPTION. 48 PROFESSIONALS WERE ASKED TO DESCRIBE, USING THE SONOMA CHECK LIST, A MALE AND A FEMALE PATIENT (1) READY FOR DISCHARGE TO A FAMILY-CARE HOME OR, (2) WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM PSYCHOTHERAPY. A CORRELATIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE 4 RATINGS INDICATED HIGH AGREEMENT AMONG THE 8 GROUPS WITH RESPECT TO THE 1ST 2 RATINGS, BUT CONSIDERABLE DISAGREEMENT ON THE 2ND 2 RATINGS. BOTH PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS SEEK THERAPY PATIENTS WITH STRENGTHS AND WITH PATHOLOGY; TECHNICIANS TEND TO EMPHASIZE BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT; NURSES ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH AFFILIATIVE TENDENCIES.
