 * closing mental hospitals and putting the patients back into the community.

 improved stress-prevention programs.   
 improvements in out-patient therapy.

 confidence   
 * dependence   
 empowerment

32. Placing individuals with psychiatric problems in a hospital can teach them the role of patient rather than person, and this can lead to:    
 a better personal adjustment through observation of others who are similar.   
 a better understanding of themselves and their limitations and increased self-acceptance.   
 immediate stress reduction resulting from the lack of extemporaneous stimuli, which in turn enhances the probability of a recovery and a return to greater society.

 * hospitals tend to foster dependency and Paul will not have to face his problems directly.   
 he will receive medication, but no psychotherapy to help him with his depression.   
 hospitals in themselves are depressing and this will only make Paul's depression worse.   
    

35. One of the major strengths of caring for patients in the community is that this setting:    
 * provides the opportunity of learning the role of person rather than patient.   
 fosters a sense of dependence on others which aids in the healing process.

 their insurance benefits last longer.   
 they have access to a greater variety of psychiatric professionals.

 fewer therapists are required.   
    

38. The economic advantages of closing state hospitals may be misleading because:    
 the savings are directly related to indirect operational costs which in themselves are minimal.   
 many of the discharged patients will have to rely on welfare or social security benefits.   
 * many discharged patients end up in private facilities and their bills are paid by Medicare.   
 many state-run mental health care facilities were actually paying for themselves.

 * living on the street.

 run-down sections of cities where deinstitutionalized mental patients live.   
    

42. Studies comparing the effectiveness of hospital treatment to alternative forms of treatment, such as outpatient psychotherapy or daycare for those with psychiatric disorders, have shown that:    
 24-hour care in a reputable psychiatric facility yields the greatest patient recovery rates.   
 in every case alternative care proved to be more effective than hospitalization.   
 * hospitalization is not more effective than alternative forms of therapy.   
 alternative therapy is at best a poor alternative.   
    

43. In one study in which first-admission patients with schizophrenia were assigned to a mental hospital or to a small, homelike facility, it was found during a 2 year follow-up that patients from the homelike facility were more likely than the hospital patients to be:

 they generally deal with only major psychological problems.
