Psychiatrists and others in the mental health field have long been aware that forces within the surrounding social network effect both favorably and unfavorably the individual psyche and the course of mental illness, but the systematic use of such factors in therapy and prevention has awaited a model. The authors identify a beginning yet workable approach to what an APA task force termed "ecopsychiatry"; the model proposed is not that of traditional linear or cause-and-effect perspectives but is based on a systemic model derived originally form biological ecology.

Life Satisfaction and Depression among Retired Black Persons

1984

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Correlates of life satisfaction of 30 elderly black persons were studied by means of a three-session, phase-focused (pre-retirement, immediate post-retirement, and current) interview that included the Ecosystem Activity Record (EAR) and the Depression Adjective Check List (DACL) administered to 23 women and 7 men whose ages ranged from 52 to 97 yr. Findings over the three phases were (1) an over-all decrease in activities but an increase in time spent with family and home and an increase in participation in church or religiously oriented functions, (2) an over-all pattern of relatively high life satisfaction, and (3) relatively low levels of depressive mood. Relationships among demographic variables also were noted.
