"The focus of this study is the operation of the Rehabilitation and Hospital Industries Program in effect at the Veterans Administration Hospital, Coral Gables, Florida. More specifically, the study will be focused on the inter-related and interacting professional roles of the team members involved in administering the Program. A review of the literature pertaining to the development of the idea of work as a method of therapy in the rehabilitation of the mental patient will be presented. Interviews with the five team members--Physician, Coordinator, Social Worker, Clinical Psychologist, and Counselling Psychologist--who comprise the study group, will be presented and used as a basis of inductive analysis. The professional roles will be described in detail, both self-perceptions and perceptions of other members of the team"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "June, 1959." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work." / Advisor: David L.

"The purpose of this study was to identify some of the distinguishing characteristics in the backgrounds of patients who presented problems in connection with their hospital discharge (and were thus referred to Social Work Service for discharge planning) from those who did not present such problems. At the Veterans Administration Hospital, Coral Gables, Florida, the economic, social and military factors of 50 patients referred to Social Work Service were compared with those of 50 patients who left the hospital without needing help with discharge planning. Records were kept concerning the number and type of interviews which the social worker had with the fifty patients and/or their family members in order to effect their discharge. The diagnoses and length of stay of these 100 patients were tabulated for the purpose of comparison also. It is hoped that this information will be of value in the future in improving discharge planning techniques, in reducing length of hospital stay for greater utilization of beds, and in obtaining the ultimate in rehabilitation for such patients"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "June, 1961." / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work." / Advisor: Dorothy D.

"The purpose of the study was to indicate differences of significance in the incidences of professional action between patients diagnosed as organic brain syndromes and patients diagnosed as functional psychoses. The incidences of professional action were results of expediting the recommendations of the Neuropsychiatric Therapeutic Review Committee Veterans Administration Hospital, Lenwood Division, Augusta, Georgia, for the seventy-five patients of the study sample. The two groups of patients derived from the dichotomy of the study sample on the basis of psychiatric diagnosis: twenty-four patients had established psychiatric diagnoses of organic brain syndromes, and fifty-one patients had established psychiatric diagnoses within the range of functional psychoses. Difference of significance in the incidences of professional action between the two subsamples have been studied"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1960." / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work." / Advisor: James H.
