A structured, standardized training program for key community professionals developed as part of a planned large scale mental health program, utilized a self-administered set of biographical and problem and complaint materials called the “Personal Data Kit.” Training focused upon systematized methods for data gathering, problem identification, and planning for counseling or referral by physicians and ministers. Approximately 75% of ministers and 60% of physicians completed a 12-wk. course. Studies were conducted to determine (a) changes in practices and attitudes among trainees, (b) changes in attitudes among professional and civic leaders, (c) characteristics of persons served by trainees, (d) opinions of trainees about the outcome of their counseling and referral activities.

... Previous research suggests that there is a strong relationship between meaning and pleasure by demonstrating that positive affect, as a measure of pleasure, is positively correlated with meaning in life, as a measure of meaning (e.g., King et al. 2006). The strength of their relationship varied depending on what measures were used to assess meaning (e.g., Meaning in Life Questionnaire Steger et al. 2006; Purpose in Life Test, Crumbaugh and Maholick 1964; Sense of Coherence Scale, Antonovsky 1993), and it sometimes reaches up to a very high correlation such as r = 0.80 (in Study 3, King et al. 2006), which can be interpreted as lacking evidence for discriminant validity and thereby suggesting the indiscriminate association between meaning and pleasure. While the overall strength of the relationship between positive affect and meaning in life falls into a range of medium-to-large effect size (e.g., rs = 0.40-0.50), it also can be amplified in some contexts. ...

... Bentz reports that the better-educated minister is more knowledgeable as to the existence of and functions performed by other community health resources and is more likely to refer a person who exhibits symptoms of a serious mental illness to another community health agency. According to researchers, pastors constitute a " fertile source of referral of clients to mental health professionals " (Colton, 1990) and an " unusual reservoir of time, energy, skill, and wisdom " (Robertson et al., 1969). Unfortunately, Abramczyk's study of clergy training (1981) found that clergy's satisfaction with their training in the counseling function was low. ...

... The reasons for that may be shame or manipulation (while patients may aim to acquire extra benefits and obtain the prescription of additional medications) resulting in less appropriate and less effective intervention. In addition, ethical considerations, legal complications, therapeutic relationships and insufficient collaboration between the health, social and psychiatric services may be involved [49][50][51][52][53][54][55]. ...
