“…During the inpatient phase, there were no dropouts in the holistic group and, with one exception, the holistic patients participated actively. Previous studies of exercise (Kaplan, Mendelson, and Dubroff 1983) and relaxation techniques (Glueck and Stroebel 1975) with inpatient psychiatric populations have encountered severe problems with compliance and dropouts. In this study, the patients’ compliance with the holistic regimen was probably due to combining the holistic techniques with contingency management techniques.…”

A 10-week, inhospital holistic health program for male schizophrenic patients was compared with an equally intense social skills training program. The holistic program included training in the stress reduction techniques of exercise and meditation as well as education in stress management. Patients were also encouraged to explore the growth potential of their psychotic experiences and to develop positive beliefs about the outcome of their illness. Both groups showed similar significant decreases in psychopathology from admission to discharge, but the use of medication and a token economy milieu by all patients confounds the interpretability of this finding. After the holistic patients were discharged into the community, there was no maintenance of any of the holistic techniques. The 2-year relapse rate did not differ significantly between the two treatments. Findings from various studies associating schizophrenic relapse with stressful life events and familial tension make further experimentation with stress reduction techniques for the treatment of schizophrenia worthwhile.

“…Relatively little systematic information has been reported about occupational therapy intervention for depression in adolescents (Fie, 1988;Gangl, 1987;Good-Ellis, F i e , Haas, Spencer & Glick, 1986). One small occupational therapy study by Kaplan, Mendelson, and Dubroff (1983) reported beneficial changes in symptoms of depression in young adult inpatients who believed exercise was important and participated in an eight-week aerobic exercise program.…”

“…Such programmes have typically been oriented within a sensorimotor or biomechanical frame of reference as opposed to a more general health and fitness one (Dutton 1989). Within mental health, there is some evidence that occupational therapists can implement fitnessoriented exercise programmes; for example, using walking and jogging with depressed adolescents (Brollier et al 1994), jogging with depressed young adults (Kaplan et al 1983) or People recovering from alcohol-related or drug-related problems are often in poor physical condition and have an extremely sedentary lifestyle. This article describes a study in which an occupational therapist in a community alcohol service implemented a physical activity intervention.…”

People recovering from alcohol-related or drug-related problems are often in poor physical condition and have an extremely sedentary lifestyle. This article describes a study in which an occupational therapist in a community alcohol service implemented a physical activity intervention. The aim of the intervention was for clients with substance misuse problems to increase independent physical activities, to engage more in community-based activities, to increase their awareness of the benefits of exercise and to perceive benefits in their health following the programme. Seven people attended a 6-week programme consisting of nine sessions. Each session included an exercise class and group-based physical activity counselling. Case studies for five of the participants are presented. It was shown that it is possible for an intervention combining physical activity counselling with supervised and independent exercise to have an impact on the lives of a few individuals with substance misuse problems. Four of the five participants made substantial gains in all the target areas relating to independence, integration, education and health. It was also shown that it is feasible for an occupational therapist to play a pivotal role in promoting fitness-oriented activities for those with substance misuse problems. Controlled studies are required with larger samples, longer follow-up periods and the comparison of different intervention elements.
