On Sunday October 23rd at midday I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Marie Hobart from Community Healthlink. For over twenty-four years Dr. Marie Hobart has been an employee of Community Healthlink as a psychiatrist and for the last ten to twelve years as the Chief Medical Officer of CHL. She is also an employee of UMasss Memorial Healthcare, and a clinical associate professor of psychiatry. Dr. Hobart 's work with CHL focuses on "people with serious and persistent illness, developmental disabilities, and addiction" and her goal in addition to helping patients one-on-one is to help create "a system of care for people who are traditionally not able to access care in other ways" (Hobart). Dr. Hobart explained that she always wanted to work in health, and "working with people in the community" leading her to become a public psychiatrist in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. As Dr. Hobart works in the Worcester public health sector as both a practicing physician and an administrator, her dual roles create a unique position as an agent of direct community support and an advocate for changes to the public medical system. Dr. Hobart is a medically focused community organizer and her work is most easily tied to the Women-Centered model of community development (Stall, Stoecker; 202). Her desire to see greater connections between medical assistance and social aid, as well as, her work that recognizes the social factors that lead to health problems illustrates how she is an

On a bright and crisp morning of March 25, 2015, I interviewed Joni Roche and learned what a typical day was like for this Professional Counselor. Mrs. Roche has owned her own practice for nearly eighteen years and has truly loved every single part of it. Mrs. Roche has received a Master of the Arts degree and is a Licensed Profession Counselor and a Nationally Credited Counselor. During my interview with Mrs. Roche, I truly learned so many things from different counseling techniques, what it is like to have a private practice and the good and bad things counseling comes with that people do not necessarily speak about.

When the patient’s care was turned over to a new provider the following day, the PA once again voiced her concern. This time, however, the new provider determined that indeed the PA was right and he requested a behavioral health was consultation. It turned out that the patient’s symptoms were severe enough to warrant anti-depressant therapy and continued mental health care follow-up. I felt compelled to acknowledge the PA’s concerns about the patient both as her peer and as a member of the multi-disciplinary team. I also felt that was critically important for me to encourage the PA to continue to advocate for patients despite the risk of being dismissed by others. In speaking to the PA and encouraging her voice her concerns our team was able to

Earley highlights this with his son as he leaves the hospital system and is processed through the judicial system. The next responsibility is to understand where we are in a system and where we need to go. The book portrayed Mike, Earley’s son, could not be hospitalized unless he voluntarily committed himself or verbalized harm towards himself or others. It was clear to Earley, who knew his son’s baseline, was deescalating further into psychosis. The situation explains how we can get assistance for clients who may not be able to make adequate decisions in a psychotic episode. Lastly, the clinician should develop a strategic plan of how to achieve the desired results, and the key participants involved. Earley researched the systems involved for over a year before he concluded writing a book would reach the vast of persons involved. He interviewed and studied the systems involved to strategically plan how he could assist his son.

Evaluation and treatment of the mentally ill population has developed from confinement of the mad during colonial times, into the biomedical balancing of neurological impairment seen in these modern times. There were eras of mental health reform, medicalization, and deinstitutionalization sandwiched in between (Nies & McEwen, 2011). Regardless of the stage of understanding and development, communities have not been completely successful in dealing with and treating persons who are mentally unwell. Fortunately, treatment has become more compassionate; social and professional attitudes have morphed into more humanistic and

The Case of Dr. Breeze and the San Marcos Community Mental Health Center started when Dr. Breeze, a psychoanalyst and a previous director of Manford University’s Outreach Mental Health Services Department was hired to direct the new established San Marcos Community Mental Health Center. Upon his arrival to the newly established mental health center, Dr. Breeze found many things invalid. He decided to make changes to improved San Marcos Community Mental Health Center.

After six months of changes, many of the staffs were divided into different groups and departments to service the different area of needs in the mental health center. However, due to Dr. Breeze major changes, a few primary staff members objected to Dr. Breeze changes. They took an offense of not having the ability to voice their ideas on the new mental health center changes. Therefore, those staff members went forward with action to make a complaint regarding Dr. Breeze changes.

If we reach that far back in psychiatric history it would appear as though mainstream psychiatry has actually come a long way. To gain insight in to all disciplines of study it’s critical to venture back in time to get a glimpse of its history. It’s necessary to study the roots in an effort to accurately extrapolate where things have been, where things are, and where the vision is directed for the future. Advancements in health care have unfolded through trial and error. These progressive improvements in patient care are profoundly swayed by public attitudes and medical theories. Since we have had such difficulty in finding our way out of the stigma mental illness maintains on today’s society, it is not surprising that psychiatry continues to lag behind other fields of medicine in terms of advancements.
