Hello,
I have a question about treatment protocols and standardization of services in mental health care in the US. I am aware of numerous treatment guidelines and recommendations that have been published, for example by SAMHSA, WHO, NICE, etc. However, it would seem that theses materials function more or less as suggestions rather than as actual standard procedures.
What I would like to locate is data on the services provided in either the treatment of chronic schizophrenia or in the case of first episode psychosis. Specifically, I would like to find information on the treatment plans which are actually constructed and used in routine clinical practice. My suspicion is that there is a significant gap between the quality of services actually provided and those which have been recommended.
This question stems from a perceived overreliance on psychiatric drugs in treating psychotic disorders as well as from the recognition that there seems to be a persistent lag between psychopathology research and clinical practice. This can be seen in our current models of mental illness which is still heavily rooted in the biomedical model dating back to its initial rise to power in the 1950's. And while clinical practice still holds these views as the dominant model in the field, a recent push back against medicalization has gained popularity amongst researchers, and with it, a renewed interest in psychosocial models of treatment.
This leads me to another question about treatment standards for psychotic disorders. If you consider the poor prognosis despite available medication and the generally pessimistic attitudes toward the effectiveness of psychotherapy for psychosis, one would imagine that the development of innovative psychosocial therapies would be of great service to the unmet needs of this population. Accordingly, the literature would suggest that there has indeed been growing interest in this endeavor, and a number of therapies designed specifically for psychosis have been gaining attention. Of these approaches, a few notable examples include Metacognitive Training, ACT for psychosis, AVATAR therapy, Voice Dialogue Therapy, and IMR, among others.
So the question remains, why does it seem that CBTp is still the only intervention regularly employed in mental health care services? (I would also be interested to know how the rates of providing CBTp compare to the use of psychiatric drugs proportionally) Where is it that these alternative therapies are actually being made available to patients, and if they are not, by what process and on what timeline will they become available?
Any input on these matters would be appreciated. I would be particularly interested in locating actual statistical data on these practices. These seem to be important questions to consider, especially if my suspicions are true. From my perspective, the bias resulting from the overemphasis of a biomedical model in conjunction with a lack of enforcement of standardized protocols leads to an environment which carries significant risk of resorting to ineffective, poor quality services.
Some teething babies tend to start sucking their thumbs from infancy to toddler's age. If parents didn't care for the proper hygiene of the babies, sucking thumbs can predispose a baby to various diseases ranging from bacterial gastroenteritis, parasitic and worm infestations. How can parents control the problems of thumb sucking in their babies/children?
If so are you aware of the $100k prize available for a cure of the sexual side effects that remain after the use and withdrawal of these drugs?
"The problems affect both men and women and cause genital numbness, pleasureless or weak orgasm, impotence, loss of sex drive and other difficulties. They can start after only a few days exposure to these medications and in some cases persist for decades.
We want to change this.
On September 12, 2017, we launched our campaign to raise $100,000 for a Prize which will be offered to anyone who finds a cure for PSSD, PFS or PRSD. This could be a doctor, a scientist, a drug company, a member of the public – anyone."
There has been a number of suggestions that are worth following. Seems like there might be a link to Vit D or anandamide to reduction of symptoms.
I do research in the fields of management and organizational behavior, but I became interested in conditioned reflex recently. The only impression and knowledge I have is Pavlov and Skinner's classical experiments. I hope to find some good materials to help me understand CR deeper in any related research fields or subjects. Thanks!

In practice in Russia test with visual step input is often used. The test consists in the following. The person stands on a force plate, look at the screen on which the target and movement of the center of pressure (COP) of the person are displayed. COP position is given by force plate indications. At the test beginning the center of a target corresponds to average COP position on the basic plane. During test target position make change and the person ask to change quickly body position due to change of an ankle angle so that to combine COP image with the center of a target and to hold it in a vicinity of the last.
Whether the analog of this test in English-speaking literature, and what correct name of this test is described?
