E. Davidson, M.D., Deputy Minister of Mental Health Services\nand Director of Mental Health Services\nThe Mental Health Services Branch is concerned with all activities relating to\nmental health and mental illness in the Province of British Columbia. The Branch\nhas been more specifically involved with the provision of care and treatment for\nemotional and mental illnesses. This Report deals primarily with the specific institutions and services which are operated by the Province.\nThe expansion of the services rendered by the several units comprising this\nBranch has been very rapid during the past few years. The total staff employed in\nthe Mental Health Services Branch as of March 31, 1962, was 3,078. This total\ndoes not include students enrolled at the School of Psychiatric Nursing, Essondale.\nThe total expenditure for the fiscal year 1961\/62 was approximately $16,000,000.\nThe total number of patients receiving care in the various units of the Branch during\nthe period under review was 12,714. These few figures give a general indication\nof the extent and the scope of the services rendered to the public of this Province\nby the Mental Health Services Branch.\nSTATISTICAL COMMENTS\nStudy of the accompanying tables will show the steady increase in the number\nof patients seeking help from the various divisions of the Mental Health Services.\nDuring the year, 4,193 patients were admitted to the in-patient units of this\nservice. This figure compares with a total of 3,924 patients admitted during the\nprevious year. It is interesting to note that 2,023 or some 48 per cent of the patients\nsought help on their own volition as voluntary patients. This trend is a most encouraging sign, which indicates an acceptance of mental illness as a treatable condition.\nIt is also an indication of the public confidence in the treatment facilities that are\nprovided by the Mental Health Services Branch.\nIn spite of the fact that the admission rate is rising, it is to be noted that there\nwas a decrease of 156 patients in residence by the end of this year. There have\nbeen increases in the population of the schools for the mentally retarded and in the\nGeriatric Division. Thus the decrease in population is explained by the active treatment programme in the Provincial mental hospitals, where the resident population\nwas reduced by 247 patients during the year.\nAdmissions to our Psychiatric Division (Crease Clinic and Provincial Mental\nHospital) increased from 3,375 in 1960\/61 to 3,661 admissions in 1961\/62. Of\nthese admissions, 1,894 were first admissions and 1,767 were readmissions. Nevertheless, the population of the Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale, decreased by\n242 during the year.\n7\n I 8\nMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nTable 1.\u2014Showing Patients in Residence in the Various Institutions oj the Provincial Mental Health Services, April 1,1961, and March 31, 1962, Together with\nIncrease or Decrease.\nInstitution\nIn Residence, Apr\n1, 1961\nIn Residence, Mar.\n31, 1962\nIncrease (+)\nMen\nWomen\nTotal\nMen\nWomen\nTotal\nDecrease (\u2014)\n108\n1,608\n288\n758\n147\n246\n105\n279\n136\n1,340\n640\n26\n484\n124\n244\n2,948\n288\n1,398\n173\n730\n229\n279\n110\n1,464\n283\n791\n153\n248\n106\n293\n145\n1,242\n561\n139\n472\n126\n255\n2,706\n283\n1,352\n292\n720\n232\n293\n+ 11\n\u2014242\nMental Hospital, Colquitz -\t\n\u20145\n\u201446\n+ 119\n\u2014 10\n+3\nValleyview Hospital, Essondale ..\t\nSkeenaview Hospital, Terrace .\t\n+ 14\nTotals  \t\n3,539\n2,750\n6,289\n3,448\n2,685\n6,133\n\u2014 156\nTable 2.\u2014Showing in Summary the Admissions and Population Increase oj the\nProvincial Mental Health Services jor the Ten-year Period April 1, 1952, to\nMarch 31, 1962.\nYear\nTotal\nAdmissions\nAdmissions\n65 Years\nand Over\nAdmissions\n15 Years\nand Under\nVoluntary\nAdmissions\nPopulation\nIncrease\nIndex of\nIncrease\n1952\/53 \t\n1953\/54 \t\n2,518\n2,437\n2,492\n2,855\n2,720\n2,936\n2,993\n3,296\n3,924\n4,193\n357\n347\n348\n392\n385\n442\n425\n506\n580\n557\n179\n169\n71\n58\n57\n106\n135\n182\n254\n200\n768\n834\n884\n1,153\n1,083\n1,012\n1,118\n1,316\n1,695\n2,023\n290\n215\n88\n26\n\u201478\n38\n\u201490\n20\n42\n-156\n11.54\n8.82\n1954\/55\t\n1955\/56\t\n1956\/57\t\n1957\/58\t\n3.53\n0.91\n\u20142.87\n1.29\n1958\/59  \t\n1959\/60 _\n1960\/61\t\n-3.00\n0.61\n1.07\n1961\/62..... ..\u201e\n\u20143.72\nTotals -\t\n30,364\n4,339\n1,411\n11,886        1           395        1         \t\nThere were 214 patients admitted to The Woodlands School. The programme\nin the School has been increased and greatly enriched, and this advance has resulted\nin a total of 1,960 patients receiving care in the School during the year. This\ncompares with a figure of 1,868 patients in 1960\/61.\nThere were 318 patients admitted to the Geriatric Division. This figure compares with 285 admissions during the previous year. Altogether 1,642 patients\nreceived care and treatment in the units of the Geriatric Division this year.\nThe Mental Health Centres in Burnaby and Victoria have continued to provide\nactive psychiatric services to patients who can attend these Centres on an ambulatory\nbasis. These Centres offer both consultative and therapeutic services. A total of\n632 new patients were seen in the Adult Clinic of the Mental Health Centre at\nBurnaby. Eight hundred and five children attended the Children's Clinics in\nBurnaby and Victoria.\nMAIOR EVENTS AND TRENDS\nIn addition to the regular services which have continued during the year,\nconsiderable expansion has occurred in several units. Additional services have also\nbeen provided to certain geographic areas. During the year there has also been\nplanning for the development of new services in several parts of the Province.\nThe position of Consultant in Medical Records and Statistics was added to the\nBranch establishment this year.    The principal duties of the incumbent in this\n HEADQUARTERS I 9\nposition are (a) to provide consultative services on medical records and statistics to\nthe Deputy Minister; (fe) on instruction of the Deputy Minister, to act as consultant\nto the heads of the various divisions of the Mental Health Services in reference to\nmedical records and statistics within their areas and to consult with the supervisors\nof medical records offices as requested regarding personnel problems, maintenance\nof records, and changes of procedure; (c) to act as liaison officer to the Division of\nVital Statistics, Health Branch, in the planning, collecting, and presentation of\nstatistics: (d) on instruction of the Deputy Minister, to assist persons from outside\nthe Mental Health Services Branch in obtaining statistics and material for approved\nmental-health research projects. Miss Agnes Dingle was appointed to this position\non lune 1, 1961.\nThe development of open-ward programmes in the Crease Clinic and the\nProvincial Mental Hospital has continued with further expansion during the year.\nOver two-thirds of the wards at the Crease Clinic and the Provincial Mental Hospital\nare now open. This means patients on these wards have the freedom to come and\ngo, and in this way they must assume increased responsibilities for their own activities. This year, for the first time, two wards at Valleyview Hospital were converted\nto open-ward status.\nThe boarding-out care programme referred to in last year's Report has been\nexpanded. The programme is designed to care primarily for patients who have\nreceived maximum benefit from hospital care and who can carry on in the community\nin suitable accommodation. This programme is carried on in close collaboration\nwith the Department of Social Welfare. Boarding homes are selected and supervised\nby members of the social service staff of the Mental Health Services Branch. Patients\nare selected and placed in various boarding homes, where they are supervised by the\nMental Health Services personnel. Altogether 317 patients have been placed in\nboarding homes since this programme began. Many patients have continued their\nimprovement following transfer from the Mental Hospital, so that in due course it\nhas been possible to discharge them from boarding homes to independent living in\nthe community.\nA significant expansion during the year has been the development of the\nRehabilitation and After Care Clinic in Vancouver. This Clinic provides psychiatric\nfollow-up and after-care services for patients discharged from the Crease Clinic and\nProvincial Mental Hospital. It was opened in December, 1961. It is located at\n\" Venture,\" the half-way house at 445 West Thirteenth Avenue, Vancouver. It\nserves principally patients discharged to the metropolitan Vancouver region. It is\nhoped that this service can be expanded to include other parts of the Province. Since\nthe start of this programme in December, 412 patients who have been discharged\nhave been registered in this Clinic and are there receiving after-care and follow-up\nservices.\nWith a view to preparing patients who have been in hospital for a prolonged\nperiod of time for their return to the community, an \" activities of daily living \" programme has been developed at the Provincial Mental Hospital. It is designed to\nretrain and re-educate patients in modern living activities with a view to preparing\nthem to make their adjustment to community life. Twenty-nine patients have had\nthe privilege of the training this year.\nIn lanuary of 1962 a serious fire occurred at the Riverside Annex of the Provincial Mental Hospital. One patient unfortunately lost his life. One hundred and\ntwenty-three patients were evacuated quickly from the building. Emergency measures were made to accommodate these patients in other areas of the Hospital. The\nPublic Works Department took quick action in the renovation of the damaged\nbuilding.   It is planned to return the patients to this area early in the coming year.\n I 10 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nConsiderable attention has been given to the development of a plan for the\nevacuation of patients from the Provincial Mental Home at Colquitz. This facility\nis not regarded as suitable for the provision of modern psychiatric care. It is planned\nto transfer patients from Colquitz to our institutions on the Mainland. The provision of certain additional facilities is necessary in order to prevent any overcrowding\nin the existing institutions. It is hoped that the movement of patients from Colquitz\nwill begin during the coming year. Simultaneously with the abandonment of the\nColquitz institution, planning will be continued for the development of modern psychiatric facilities for the Vancouver Island area.\nThe facilities at The Tranquille School have continued to expand. One hundred and nineteen patients were transferred from The Woodlands School this year,\nto bring the resident population up to 292 as of March 31st. Up to the present time,\npatients accommodated in this School are all older ambulatory persons requiring\nonly residential-type care. Planning continues for the provision of care for the more\nhandicapped mentally retarded in this unit.\nThe operation of the Valleyview Hospital as a separate mental hospital for\ngeriatric patients with mental illnesses has continued successfully. This Hospital has\noperated very efficiently and provides a worth-while service for this type of patient.\nThe development of the Social Service Department in this Hospital has been most\nwelcome. The Social Service Department is able to assist in the screening of the\nvarious patients seeking admission to the Hospital. In addition, it also renders very\nvaluable assistance in the preparation of patients for discharge to their homes or to\nsuitable boarding-home accommodation.\nA start was made to expand the psychiatric services provided in Victoria and\nthe Vancouver Island area. For some time past the only Provincial services available in Victoria have been provided by the Child Guidance Clinic. Only one\npsychiatrist has been employed in this area. This year an additional psychiatrist,\ntogether with ancillary personnel, has been employed with a view to providing services for both adults and children.\nConsiderable progress has been made toward developing regional mental-health\nservices throughout the Province. A psychiatric team from the Mental Health Centre\nin Burnaby has been visiting the Upper Fraser Valley health units to provide consultative psychiatric services to this area. The time spent by the visiting team in this\narea has been substantially increased this year.\nIn accordance with the planning reported last year, a regional mental-health\nclinic has been developed for the Okanagan region. This clinic will consist of a\npsychiatrist, psychologist, psychiatric social worker, and mental-health nurse, together with necessary clerical staff. It will be centred at Kelowna, where suitable\naccommodation will be provided in an addition to the Community Health Centre.\nThis clinic will serve the major centres in the South Okanagan, North Okanagan,\nand Central Health Units. There will be regular clinics held in Penticton, Kelowna,\nVernon, Salmon Arm, Revelstoke, and Kamloops. Consultative services will be\navailable to physicians, health agencies, the Social Welfare Department, and educational services.\nThere have been a number of major items of capital construction completed or\ncommenced within the Mental Health Services during the past fiscal year. The\nmajor items in this area include: \u2014\n(1) The completion of the central surgical-supply room at the Provincial\nMental Hospital, Essondale.\n(2) Continuation of construction of an incinerator at Essondale.\n(3) Construction of a central accounting office at Essondale.\n HEADQUARTERS I 11\n(4) Commencement of construction of a new Industrial Therapy Building at\nEssondale.   This work commenced in February of 1962.\n(5) Renovation of the Riverside Annex Building, which was partially destroyed by a fire occurring in January of 1962.\n(6) The planning for the reconstruction and conversion of the Nurses' Home 2\nBuilding at The Woodlands School. The purpose of this reconstruction is\nto provide modern administrative facilities for the operation of the unit.\n(7) Planning for the construction of the building at Essondale to accommodate\nthe telephone exchange and the Provincial Mental Hospital Employees'\nCredit Union,\nGENERAL COMMENTS\nOur programme in public relations has continued throughout the year. To this\nend, each institution made arrangements for interested groups to visit in order to see\ntheir programmes in action and to have the opportunity of imparting instruction\nregarding mental illness and its associated problems. Throughout the year there\nhave been many groups visit the various centres and facilities, such as service clubs,\nmedical and nursing groups, classes from the University, etc. In this way the public\nobtains some impression of the many aspects of mental illness and a knowledge of\nthe functioning of the various units of the Mental Health Services.\nI would again like to commend the Canadian Mental Health Association and\nthe Association for Retarded Children of British Columbia for the work they have\nperformed in regard to the mentally ill and the mentally retarded. These organizations have done much to assist the patients. The presence of their volunteers in our\ninstitutions brings the community much closer to the mentally ill person. It also\ndoes much to convey to the community what is taking place in our various centres.\nThese organizations have done a great deal to further the ends of mental health in\nour Province.\nThe thirty-first graduation exercises were held in the Vincent Massey Junior\nHigh School auditorium in New Westminster on the evening of April 27, 1961.\nNinety-six student-nurses (sixty-four women and thirty-two men) received diplomas\nsignifying their successful completion of a two-year course in psychiatric nursing.\nMr. Willard Ireland, Provincial Librarian and Archivist, gave a stimulating and\ninteresting graduation address.\nThe Council of Psychiatric Nurses held its annual meeting on April 26, 1961.\nOne thousand two hundred and fifty-one nurses are now licensed under the Psychiatric Nurses Act. This year again two psychiatric nurses were enabled to take\nfurther training with assistance provided from bursary funds. One psychiatric nurse\nattended the Eighth Pacific Northwest Laboratory in Group Development at North\nBend, Wash., in June, 1961. A second psychiatric nurse was granted assistance to\nattend the Fifteenth Annual Summer Laboratory in Human Relations conducted by\nthe National Training Laboratory in Bethel, Maine, in July, 1961.\nThe Narcotic Addiction Foundation continues to receive guidance from the\nMental Health Services Branch through Dr. A. E. Davidson, who serves as a member\nof the board of directors. Dr. F. G. Tucker serves in a similar capacity on the board\nof directors of the Alcoholism Foundation. The Mental Health Services is thus able\nto assist in the planning of the programmes of these two important services.\nThe Mental Health Services staff members continued to participate in the\nin-service training programme for senior school counsellors which is conducted\nunder the auspices of the Vancouver School Board with financial assistance through\nthe Mental Health Grant. Seven senior teachers took the course this year. Since\nthe inception of the programme seven years ago, sixty-three teachers have been given\n I 12 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\ntraining. A summary of the numbers trained for each of the participating School\nBoards is as follows: Vancouver, 44; Richmond, 5; Burnaby, 4; Surrey, 4; North\nVancouver, 2; Coquitlam, 2; New Westminster, 1; Langley, 1.\nThe professional staff throughout the Mental Health Services has shown a\nprogressive improvement throughout the year. Numerous trained personnel in the\npsychiatric, social service, and psychiatric nursing field have been added to our\nservices. Dr. R. W. Harrington was appointed to the position of Director of the\nRehabilitation and After Care Clinic in December, 1961. Dr. L. Holland was\nappointed to the staff of the Mental Health Centre, Victoria, in lanuary, 1962.\nIt is with regret that I report the death of one of our senior physicians, Dr.\nW. P. Fister, a competent and highly respected member of the staff of the Crease\nClinic and Provincial Mental Hospital. Dr. Fister was employed as consultant in\nneurology and served in the department since 1948. He was especially skilled in\nthe field of medicine and had taken special training in the field of neurology and\nelectroencephalography. He developed the neurological department at the Crease\nClinic to a state of high efficiency. Actually, the service which was provided by the\nneurological department at the Crease Clinic under Dr. Fister's direction was unique.\nHis services will be sorely missed.\nMENTAL HEALTH GRANT\nThe Government of Canada, through the Department of National Health and\nWelfare, made available to British Columbia a Mental Health Grant \" to assist in\nan extended programme for the prevention and treatment of mental illness, including\nrehabilitation and free treatment.\" This is the fourteenth year that this Mental\nHealth Grant has been made available.\nThe grant provided for 1961\/62 was $791,907. Projects to the total value of\n$733,483.66 were submitted to and approved by the Department of National Health\nand Welfare. Expenditures made and claims submitted to the Federal Treasury by\nMarch 31st totalled $692,502.53. The details of the expenditures are shown in\ntabulated form in the Business Manager's section of this Report, which appears\non page 29.\nProfessional Training\nDr. F. G. Tucker, Clinical Director, Provincial Mental Hospital and Crease\nClinic, was awarded a bursary to permit him to enrol in the administrative psychiatry\ncourse at Columbia University, New York City.\nSix physicians were granted bursaries to enable them to enrol for graduate\nspecialist training in the Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, University\nof British Columbia. These bursaries, which are tenable for one year, commenced\nin July. Special arrangements were made by the Professor of Psychiatry, University\nof British Columbia, for two of the trainees to undertake their training at the Allan\nMemorial Institute of Psychiatry, McGill University, Montreal.\nTen social workers were granted bursaries to permit them to enrol at the School\nof Social Work, University of British Columbia. One trainee withdrew just before\nthe course commenced and was not replaced.\nTwo registered nurses were awarded bursaries to permit them to enrol for\nadvanced studies in the School of Nursing, University of British Columbia.\nOne clinical psychologist was given a bursary to permit him to continue with\nadvanced postgraduate studies in his specialty at the University of British Columbia.\nAll the persons who were assisted by bursaries were required to sign formal\nagreements whereby they obligated themselves to give a stipulated return in service\n HEADQUARTERS I 13\nto the Mental Health Services Branch of the Province on the completion of their\ntraining periods.\nA number of short courses and institutes for staff personnel were supported by\nthe Mental Health Grant, as follows:\u2014\nTwelve senior nurses attended an institute on nursing administration and supervision for superintendents of nurses and chief male nurses. This institute was given\nby the Department of University Extension, University of British Columbia, in\nresponse to a request from the Mental Health Services Branch.\nDr. R. Parkinson, senior psychiatrist with the Adult Clinic of the Mental Health\nCentre, Burnaby, attended a five-day institute on group psychotherapy at the\nUniversity of Saskatchewan.\nDr. John Walsh, Deputy Medical Superintendent of the Provincial Mental\nHospital, attended the Thirteenth Annual Mental Hospital Institute of the American\nPsychiatric Association held in Omaha in October.\nSix nurses holding supervisory and head nurse positions attended an institute\nentitled \" Person to Person \" sponsored by the School of Nursing, University of\nWashington, Seattle.\nMiss A. K. Carroll, Provincial Supervisor of Psychiatric Social Work, and Miss\nB. J. Mitchell, Director of Nursing Services, attended the Second Canadian Mental\nHealth Services Institute held at Ottawa in January.\nThe Superintendent of Nurses of the Valleyview Hospital attended an institute\non nursing service administration sponsored by the American Psychiatric Association in San Francisco.\nEquipment and Supplies\nProvincial Mental Hospital, Essondale.\u2014The Surgical Department was supplied with equipment to the value of $12,000, comprising a new anaesthetic machine,\nnew overhead theatre lamp, mobile X-ray unit with universal seriography complete\nwith cassettes. The laboratory was supplied with a new autotechnicon to replace\nthe original instrument received in 1949.

The Physiotherapy Department was equipped with an ultra-sonic machine,\nmuscle-stimulator, and associated accessories.\nCommunity Mental-health Programmes\nThese continue to be supported along the lines described in previous Annual\nReports. The assistance provided to the Vancouver School Board in the course for\nsenior school counsellors was included with the project to assist the mental-hygiene\nprogramme of the Metropolitan Health Committee of Greater Vancouver to simplify\nadministration.\nA new project this year made available $4,800 as a grant in aid of the stipends\npaid to the consultant psychiatrist and senior social worker employed by the Narcotic Addiction Foundation.\nPsychiatric Services in General Hospitals\nThe psychiatric division of the out-patients' department of the Vancouver\nGeneral Hospital was assisted by a grant to provide the salaries of two psychiatric\nsocial workers, one psychiatric casework aide, and one medical stenographer.\n I  14\nMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nDepartment of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia\nThis was the second year in which Mental Health Grant funds were made\navailable to the Department of Psychiatry of the University of British Columbia to\nassist in the establishment of a graduate training programme.

A. Matheson, Business Manager\nAttached hereto are the financial reports for the British Columbia Mental\nHealth Services Branch for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1962.\nTables A to J, inclusive, deal with the in-patient care units, while Tables K,\nL, M, and N deal with the community services, rehabilitation centres, department\nof nursing education, and general administration, respectively.\nTable A shows the daily average patient population as 6,207.30, a decrease\nof 85.07 from the previous year. This decrease is due mainly to a reduction in the\nresident population at the Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale, of 83.44.\nMaintenance expenditures for the in-patient care units increased by $423,-\n902.06 to $15,832,999.14, the increase being made up of $406,880.27 in salaries\nand the balance of $17,021.79 in supplies and operating expenses.\nThe gross daily per capita cost rose to $6.99 for the year, an increase of 28\ncents over the previous fiscal year. The net per capita cost is $6.04, an increase of\n16 cents over 1960\/61.\nMaintenance revenue continued to rise, the 1961\/62 totals showing as $2,150,-\n802.56, an increase of $243,954.85 over the 1960\/61 total of $1,906,847.71.\nThe farms at Essondale, Colquitz, and Tranquille were taken over by the Department of Agriculture on April 1, 1961, but continued to supply the Mental Health\nServices Branch with dairy produce, meats, vegetables, and canned goods. Transactions involving produce valued in excess of $500,000 were effected between the\ntwo departments during the year.\nAssistance from the Federal Government through the medium of health-grant\nprojects continued to be extremely important to our programme, and the funds provided, totalling $692,502.53, were expended for equipment, personnel, and staff-\ntraining. A detailed statement covering these expenditures is appended to this\nreport.\nI regret to advise that an unfortunate fire occurred in the Riverside Annex\nBuilding at Colony Farm on the evening of January 31, 1962, in which a patient\nlost his life. The fire caused such damage that the patients housed in this building had to be provided for elsewhere in the Hospital. Funds were immediately\nreleased to the Department of Public Works for the repair of fire damage, and work\nin this connection was completed in April of 1962.\nA second shift started operating in the central laundry at Essondale in March,\n1962. The start of this shift was necessary in order for the laundry to meet demands.\nThe second shift is proving to be most satisfactory as, in addition to being better\nable to meet the demands for laundry, they are also able to improve the standard of\nwork and to maintain a higher standard of cleanliness in the laundry.\nRadios have been installed in a number of Hospital and Public Works vehicles\nat Essondale in order to increase the efficiency of the transportation department.\nThe volunteer fire department at the Skeenaview Hospital, Terrace, has been\nreactivated, and it has been supplied with all the necessary equipment, including a\nsmall fire-truck.\nThe Public Works Department at Essondale and New Westminster was reorganized, and Mr. W. R. Meadows was appointed as General Superintendent with\nheadquarters in Vancouver. Mr. D. Murray was appointed Superintendent of Public\nWorks for Essondale and The Woodlands School. The Public Works staff in both\nthese areas are now considered as one and are interchangeable. These changes have\nincreased the efficiency and improved the service supplied to us by the Public Works\nDepartment.\n HEADQUARTERS I 19\nThe year under review has been a particularly active one in so far as planning\nand construction are concerned.

Dowling, Personnel Officer\nDuring the fiscal year the approved establishment of the Mental Health Services increased by 160 positions.\nThe monthly average of persons on staff, excluding students, rose from 2,974\nin the preceding fiscal year to 3,061, an increase of eighty-seven actually on the\npayroll.\nDetails of the above changes are contained in Tables A and D on pages 30\nand 32.\nRecruitment has kept pace with separations in nearly all classifications, as\nshown in Table B.\nIn the past, short-term relief staff has not been excluded from staff turnover\ncalculations. The use of temporary staff for vacation and sick relief in increasing\nnumbers over the past two years has made it necessary to revise methods. This year\nTable B provides a more complete picture of the rates of staff turnover.\nIn addition to the very extensive educational and in-service training programmes outlined elsewhere in this Report, a course in supervisory training was given\nby the Personnel Officer. A total of sixty-three supervisors in the Charge Nurse,\nHead Nurse, and Charge Cook classifications enrolled for this training.\nThe Personnel Officer participated in the following matters of some importance:\u2014\n(1) The staffing of the Main Building at the Tranquille School.\n(2) The planning and staffing of the new Rehabilitation and After Care Services of the Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale.\n(3) The provision of staff for the Mental Health Centre, Kelowna, which will\nbegin service early in the next fiscal year.\n(4) A staff reorganization of the Essondale laundry to provide for a night shift.\n(5) An analysis of the work being performed by psychiatric aides.\n(6) The introduction of the dietary aide classification. This is a step toward\nseparating the food-service function from nursing services, and organizing\nit where it properly belongs, under the dietary administration.

K. Carroll, Provincial Supervisor\nThroughout the Mental Health Services the social service departments have\nfound this year to be one of increasing demands, extension of services, challenge,\nstimulation, and serious endeavour. The latter has called for an analysis and re-\nfocussing of social service organization, administrative procedures, services, and\nfunctions in order to provide a basic minimal coverage of patients' needs arising from\na situation involving increased admissions, accelerated treatment, and discharge.\nFUNCTIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF CONSULTATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES\nProvincial Mental Hospital and Crease Clinic\nIn the light of the demands in the changing situation noted above, the chief\nsocial worker of this division requested consultative help which involved a study of\nthe patient-group and the problems presented at the points of admission and discharge from the Provincial Mental Hospital and Crease Clinic. The study was\nspecifically related to ascertaining ways in which social services might be reorganized,\nrelocated, and refocussed to best meet the demands of the changing situation.\nThe study, focussed as it was on ascertaining the psycho-sociologic statuses\nof patients being admitted for psychiatric treatment, resulted in a recommendation\nfor the development of centralized sections in the social service departments of the\nProvincial Mental Hospital and Crease Clinic, the responsibilities of these sections\nbeing to cover the admission and discharge social-service needs of patients entering\nhospital for short periods of treatment and care.\nThis recommendation was accepted, and the sectional organization and services\nwere developed under the supervision of senior social workers. These positions were\nestablished through job study and reclassification. The responsibilities of this personnel are to over-view discharge plans for short-stay patients generally, further\nextend coverage through brief social services, particularly those related to discharge,\nand the subsequent provision of social services in those instances where they cannot\nbe given by social workers assigned to specific services or teams. Additionally, this\ndevelopment of a brief social service section frees other casework staff to meet the\nmore complex social needs of acutely ill patients. This development, to date, while\nnot still possible of total coverage, has nevertheless resulted in more efficient discharge plans.\nDuring this year the social service department has been concerned not only\nwith consolidating and improving existing services to in-hospital patients and their\nfamilies, but with their expansion into the areas of intermediate care (family-care\nhomes and boarding homes) and after-care services as well. Since the start of the\nintermediate-care programme in 1959, some 317 improved mental patients from\nlong-term treatment units have been placed in boarding homes, and in some instances\nwith foster-families. Of this group of 317 patients, 134 have been discharged in full\nto municipal and Provincial social welfare services. One hundred and fifty patients\nin this group remain in intermediate care of the Provincial Mental Hospital, living in\nboarding homes and family-care homes. Throughout the fiscal year, social workers\nin the Provincial Mental Hospital have assumed the necessary placement and supervisory responsibilities in relation to this group and in relation to the care and social\nprogrammes in operation in the boarding homes. The boarding-home programme\nhas been co-ordinated by the consultant who works closely with the administration\n HEADQUARTERS I 35\nand regional offices of the Department of Social Welfare. However, over the years\nof the boarding-home operation 52 per cent of the total monthly in-patient man-\nhours of social work has been spent in the preparation of patients for boarding-home\ncare, their placement and continuing supervision. As a result, less than 50 per cent\nof total monthly man-hours was spent in services to patients during their hospitalization. To bring relief to this stressing situation, it was recommended that one\nsocial worker be appointed to administer the boarding-home programme as a beginning to the creation of a specific establishment. This appointment to the Provincial\nMental Hospital was made during the fiscal year. The co-ordination of the programme will continue as before.\nThis appointment will undoubtedly relieve to a degree the demands made on\nthe in-hospital social service department in the area of intermediate care of patients.\nThe duties of the boarding-home social worker involve home-finding, home-studying,\nrecommending licensing, the supervision of the boarding-home operation, the supervision of the programme for the patients in boarding homes, and the supervision of\nthe individual patients placed.\nIn the boarding-home programme, the Provincial Mental Hospital assumes\nresponsibilities in regard to the motivation of patients toward the acceptance of\nboarding-home placement, transportation of patients to boarding-homes, emergency\nservices, consultative services, and general psychiatric over-view.\nClose co-operation with the Department of Social Welfare is maintained both at\nadministrative and operational levels. At the latter level, co-operation is achieved\nby the boarding-home social worker being appointed to the Provincial Mental Hospital staff and in the evaluation, licensing, and supervision of boarding homes\nworking with the office of the Inspector of Welfare Institutions and, in this specific\narea, under the supervision of that office.\nThe assistance of the Official Committee has been of great value in the boarding-\nhome programme in the services this office brings in legal protection to the person\nof the patient and his estate.\nDuring the year the progress in the on-going development of the boarding-home\nprogramme has been rewarding and reassuring. Administratively, progress has been\nmade in definitive planning for financing, as well as in the delineation of functions\nand servicers between the Department of Social Welfare and the Mental Health\nServices in relation to the development of a service adequate in standards of intermediate care and valuable to the patients in the maintenance of easeful social functioning and purposeful social behaviour.\nValleyview Hospital\nDuring the year a social service department has been established at Valleyview\nHospital. This establishment permits three social-work positions. The social workers have been active in the pre-admission phase of the patients' hospitalization,\nduring which the applicant for admission and his social situation are studied and\nassessed. As a result of such studies and assessments and in consultation with the\npsychiatrists, private placement in boarding-home or nursing-home care has been\nrecommended as more suitable and valuable to the applicant. In such instances,\nrelatives have been helped to understand the benefit of the recommendation to the\napplicant and then assisted in the placement of the applicant in suitable care with\nthe reassurance that the hospital stands by to help the relative and the applicant and\nthat the social worker will continue to visit if this is desired.\n I 36 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nSocial workers have also been active in studying and assessing the needs of\nselected patients in the Hospital who could be discharged to the care of relatives or\nfriends, as well as being active with selected patients who could, with the necessary\ncasework help and support in conjunction with services from psychiatry, nursing,\noccupational, and recreational therapy, be motivated toward the use of boarding-\nhome care.\nThe social workers have been active in community interpretation and in promoting, with the assistance of community public health and welfare agencies, cooperative policies whereby aged persons may be assisted in a way geared to the\nprevention of hospitalization, as well as to the assistance of the aged person leaving\nhospital. This work has been directed toward making the Hospital a part of a totally\ncommunity-based programme for the aged, in which it functions as a hospital and is\nrelated by co-operative policies to community services for the welfare of the aged.\nThe Woodlands School\nDuring the year this staff of seven social workers has averaged 124 home visits\nper month to parents having mentally subnormal children awaiting admission. Social\nservices to parents of mentally subnormal children awaiting admission, measured on\nthe basis of direct interviews and excluding letter and telephone interviews, numbered 217 monthly. Additionally, social services to an average of seventy-four\npupils in residence accounted for 449 interviews per month. Social services were\nrendered to an average of fifteen patients per month who were on probation to\nparents, relatives, foster homes, or work homes.\nGroup-work consultation services have been offered to nursing personnel additional to direct activity with groups of pupil-patients resident in areas designated to\nenhance the social habits and skills of the pupils.\nThe need to provide for and develop family-care and boarding-out facilities is\nrecognized by the administration, and to this end a committee has studied the\nproblems of mental subnormality confronting the Mental Health Services and the\nDepartment of Social Welfare.\nMental Health Centres\nConsultation and services have been given regarding the recruitment and training of social-work personnel specifically in relation to the responsibilities of the\nsocial-work consultant to the travelling clinics and the position of regional supervisor of psychiatric social work in the Okanagan region Mental Health Centre.\nIn summary, an outstanding feature of social-work practice throughout all the\ndivisions of the Mental Health Services has been the activity of personnel in work\nwith groups. In the Provincial Mental Hospital, social workers, with consultation\nfrom the social group worker have been active with patient-groups in hospital, in the\nhalf-way homes, and in the boarding homes. Such groups served a therapeutically\nuseful purpose in helping prepare patients for their return to community life by\nproviding them with an opportunity to share their feelings associated with discharge\nfrom hospital and, through the group support thus engendered, to clarify and resolve\nmany anxieties and concerns which were besetting them.\nIn The Woodlands School, social workers have also been active as consultants\nto nurses in group programmes on the wards and directly with groups geared to\nsharing experiences, discussing problems, sharing concerns in a way which brought\nease individually and enhancement of group inter-supports.\nIn the Mental Health Centres, social workers have been active in group programmes in the Adult Clinic.\n HEADQUARTERS I 37\nRehabilitation and After-care Unit\nThis year a senior social worker was appointed to the stationary team in this\nunit, which is a new service. This social worker has responsibility for co-ordinating\nthe social service aspects of the after-care programme, as well as supervisory responsibility for meeting social-work requirements in the after-care out-patient department.\nOther responsibilities involve social services to in-patients in the half-way homes\nand liaison and consultation to co-operating agencies, as well as supervision of the\nstudent training programme.\nSocial-work Consultant Service\nThis service to divisions, as noted above, entailed the expenditure of 41 per\ncent of the consultant's monthly man-hours of work. Direct consultative services\nto all divisions was given in the following areas: Patient selection and motivtaion\nin the use of intermediate-care facilities, such as family-care homes and boarding\nhomes; recruitment, staffing, and staff-patterning; organizational and functional\nchanges to permit expansion of coverage of patients' needs; development of casework supervisory skills; intake and discharge functions of social workers in geriatric\nservices; the detailing of adequate social services to patients in boarding homes and\nfamily-care homes; the formulation of interagency co-operative service policies in\nthe after-care unit.\nPERSONNEL AND RECRUITMENT FOR SOCIAL SERVICE\nDEPARTMENTS, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES\nThe recruitment of social workers to the Mental Health Services continues to\nbe facilitated by the use of Federal Mental Health Grants. These are offered to\ngraduate university students through the auspices of the National health grant. This\nyear seven social workers were recruited to the service from the pool of practising\nsocial workers in the community. Nine social workers, recipients of Federal Mental\nHealth Grant bursaries, returned to staff. Of this nine, six bursary students were\nfrom the social service staff of the Mental Health Services and three were recruited\nfrom outside the service. Early in February some eighteen persons with Bachelor\nof Arts degree applied for Federal Mental Health bursaries. Of this number, ten\napplicants were selected. Of this number of ten applicants, three applied from the\nsocial service departments of the Mental Health Services and seven were recruited\nfrom outside the service. The values of the Federal Mental Health bursary programme can be clearly realized in that some 80 per cent of social-work staff have\nbeen recruited through this means.\nPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND STAFF DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES, SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENTS, MENTAL HEALTH\nSERVICES.\nSixteen students from the School of Social Work, University of British Columbia, had field-work placements in the Mental Health Services. The student\ntraining programme, in which casework supervisors and senior social-work practitioners co-operate, offers opportunities for contact with the University and opens up\nmany opportunities for attendance at educational conferences and seminars focussed\non the enrichment and expansion of teaching and supervisory methods. On the\nother hand, University faculty have an opportunity to gain some understanding of\nthe standards of practice and the programme operating in the agency of field-work\n I 38 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nplacement. This co-operation in an education programme has mutual benefits\nwhich are inestimable to agency and school progress.\nIn the Provincial Mental Hospital and Crease Clinic, the staff development\nprogramme during the year was in line with the growing emphasis on the importance\nof social-work research to the profession as a whole. A project was commenced\ntoward the end of the previous fiscal year, but was of necessity continued well into\n1961 before tabulation of statistics was completed. The purpose of the study was\nto obtain a valid sample of a group of patients from which it was possible to draw\nsocial research information at any time. In order to meet the requirements of individual hospital units, some adaptation was necessary on the basic schedule employed.\nThe study, which was completed by the Crease Clinic social-work staff and\nwhich was illustrative of the general approach, was concerned with 354 male and\nfemale patients, including those who were resident as of December 31, 1960, and\nthose who were admitted during the following month. Basic social information on\neach patient was obtained primarily from his clinical record, and included such\nitems as identifying data, length of hospitalization, casework services rendered, etc.\nFrom some twenty-two categories thus covered, it is now possible, through use of\nthe I.B.M. system (to which this research was geared), to draw out many different\nsamples of social factors which were common to this patient-group, and to use this\nmaterial in predicting special problem areas and casework needs.\nIn the Mental Health Centres the staff development programme in social work\nhas continued with a twice-a-month meeting of social workers in the two clinics.\nOne major focus in this year has been an attempt to study and integrate some of the\nrecently developed research and methods designed to make better use of appropriate social-science knowledge and strengthen professional contributions to understanding family dynamics and implementing services at the level of family and social\ninteraction. This has involved review of literature, case discussion, and consideration\nof application to the clinical setting. These and other staff meetings in the individual\nclinics help considerably to encourage good standards, the flexible use of skills,\nstepped-up learning, and integration of new staff to clinical practice. We are pleased\nthat the general-staff meeting programme has developed so well this year, and I feel\nthat this has aided in extending knowledge and perspective.\nA series of meetings between psychiatry and social-work senior staff in the\nAdult Clinic has been most useful in dealing with some aspects of policy and procedure, sharing thinking about complementary professional roles, and working out\nproblems of communication and interdisciplinary responsibilities. The management\nof team programmes, particularly where there is close sharing and interaction, always\npresents a challenge to good communication and clarity of function, and I believe a\nmore regular provision for meetings of this kind will facilitate teamwork. It has\nbeen agreed that a meeting every month of social-work supervisor and team leaders\nwill be tried as a method of continuing this kind of communication and further\nclarifying team interaction.\nIt was possible during the year to arrange to send ten members of the social\nservice staff of the Mental Health Services to the following institutes and workshops: National Conference on Social Welfare; Chief Social Workers' Institute,\nState Mental Health Programmes; Social Workers' Institute; Canadian Psychiatric\nAssociation; Pacific Northwest Regional Institute of Medical Social Work Section\nof the National Association of Social Work; Seminar in Social Work, University of\nBritish Columbia.\nEarly in July of this year, Professor Eleanor Cockerill of the School of Social\nWork, University of Pittsburgh, visited the Mental Health Services for a week.   Miss\n HEADQUARTERS\nI 39\nCockerill had just returned from a sabbatical year, during which she had worked as\nsocial-work consultant to Dr. MacMillan and in his programme in community-\ncentred psychiatry. Miss Cockerill, one of the United States' great scholars in social\nwork and a leadership person in the community organization of public- and mental-\nhealth services, addressed multi-disciplinary groups throughout the divisions. She\nalso conducted an inspiring short institute for social workers in the Mental Health\nServices. The theme of the institute was \" Social Work Trends and Challenges.\"\nIt was an inspiring visit from a person of signal ability in her field.\nCentral Branch Responsibilities\nThe following reports have been prepared for branch administration: Organizational and Administrative Aspects of Boarding Home and Family Care, special\nreports regarding residential treatment needs of mentally and emotionally ill children\nas well as mentally subnormal children. A kit has been set up for directing social\nworkers in basic social services to the aged. A report on procedures in the inter-\nprovincial transfer of psychiatric patients on discharge was completed, as well as a\nreport on protection needs of children being discharged from residential units.\nAn interdepartmental case review committee has been set up through which the treatment and discharge needs of children are reviewed. Membership is drawn from the\nDepartment of Social Welfare and Mental Health Services.\n I 40 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nREPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF NURSING SERVICES\nMiss B. J. Mitchell, Director of Nursing Services\nThe provision of nursing care to the large numbers of patients who receive care\nand treatment within the Mental Health Services is the prime responsibility of the\nnursing administrators responsible for the nursing service departments in the units.\nThe Director of Nursing Services is responsible for providing assistance on a consultation basis to these nursing administrators and for the administration of the\nDepartment of Nursing Education (through the Associate Director of Nursing Education). This past year has seen the continued struggle of the nursing service\ndepartments to respond to the increasing pressure from within and without the\norganization to both improve and increase nursing services and nursing education.\nRaising the standards of nursing care inevitably creates problems for the individual\nnurse, aide, or student and for the administrative staff. The nurses, aides, and\nstudents are being motivated to gain new knowledge and skills. Fortunately the\nMental Health Services and the community are beginning to be able to provide more\nassistance and encouragement to the growing needs of the 2,317 nursing personnel.\nDepartment of Nursing Education\nThe weekly consultation and supervision sessions with the Associate Director\nof Nursing Education and her staff have permitted me to share in the development of\nseveral aspects of the nursing educational programmes. Details of these programmes\nare found in Miss Lonergan's report. Other specific activities have included talks to\nthe psychiatric nursing students, clinical course students and faculty; attendance at\nthe official functions of the Department; individual interviews with clinical programme students and presentation of diplomas; participation in (but less direct\nresponsibility for) graduation activities; and planning for an aide-training programme for the men and women psychiatric aides at Essondale and The Woodlands\nSchool. The improved organization of the Department and the individual and group\nsupervision provided for the instructors have enabled the Department to reach a new\nlevel of functioning. Its growing reputation will serve to improve the nursing care to\npatients, bring recognition to the Mental Health Services, and attract nurses who\nwish to learn and teach psychiatric nursing in a clinical setting.\nCONSULTATION TO UNITS\nCrease Clinic and Provincial Mental Hospital\nBesides the usual consultation services provided, the major task in this unit was\nto assist with the extensive study of the reorganization of the nursing service departments. The effort and time the committee members spent in discussion, reading,\nand consultation is yielding useful information for immediate use and is providing the\ndata and direction for the most significant changes in the nursing services. This\nunit's nursing services were able to demonstrate the value of team nursing, nursing-\ncare plans, ward clerks, central supply service, and remotivation groups for the\nimprovement of patient care.\nValleyview Hospital\nBi-monthly consultation visits to this unit have permitted the observation of the\nincreasing ability of the nursing personnel to improve their own nursing skills and to\nmake use of the other therapeutic services for better patient care. Orientation,\nsupervision, and evaluation of nursing personnel have been a strong feature of this\nunit.\n headquarters i 41\nThe Woodlands School\nThe opportunity to work with the senior nursing personnel at The Woodlands\nSchool and, through them, to observe the enthusiasm and dedication of members of\nthe nursing personnel has helped me to appreciate the growing role of the psychiatric\nnurse in the training programme for the severely retarded and the need for registered\nnurses especially skilled in the nursing of sick children. In February I was asked to\nassist with the study of the reorganization of the nursing service departments.\nSkeenaview Hospital\nIn November, Skeenaview Hospital was visited for two days. Discussions with\nthe Medical Superintendent of the Geriatric Division, Dr. B. F. Bryson; the Supervisor, Mr. W. E. Skillicorn; and the Chief Male Nurse, Mr. F. Stewart, provided a\nbackground of achievements and problems against which to observe the on-going\ncare of the geriatric patients. The limitations of the physical setting and numbers of\ntrained nursing staff have not prevented the staff from promoting a nursing-care\nprogramme designed to keep the elderly gentlemen mobile and provide enjoyable\nactivities.\nThe Mental Health Centre\nVisits to this Centre have permitted the observation of the nurse's role in group\nand individual therapy with patients. The opportunity the Superintendent of Nurses,\nMiss Arneson, had to receive supervision from a social-work supervisor, Miss Ellen\nBateman, in regard to her individual therapy with selected patients was considered\nvaluable. The Day Centre programme for emotionally disturbed children was expanded under the skilled management of the senior nurse, Miss Escudero. This is\none of the few areas in the Province where suitable nurses can gain supervised practice in the care and treatment of these children. The Mental Health Centre continues\nto be regarded as a training area for selected nurses to gain added skill in psychiatric\nnursing, in collaborative teamwork, and in working with community agencies.\nCommittee and Educational Activities of Nursing Personnel\nThe nursing administrators continue to meet monthly at the unit nursing conference, chaired by the Director of Nursing Services. Major projects undertaken\nduring the year were planning for a second nursing institute in co-operation with the\nDepartment of Continuing Medical Education of the University; initiation of a\nNursing Supplies Committee, whose purpose is to assist in the discriminating selection of products used by nursing personnel in the care of patients in the Mental\nHealth Services; consideration and approval of revised charting procedures prepared\nby the Nursing Procedure Committee; and study of a health programme for patients\nand staff in the Mental Health Services.\nThe nursing administrators in all units encouraged their nursing staff to take\nadvantage of educational opportunities. Most nursing departments continued to\nprovide an in-service educational programme, the type and length varying with the\navailability of nursing and other personned prepared to give lectures. Forty-three\nnurses attended institutes, conferences, and lecture programmes, which were held\nin Vancouver and Seattle. A few nurses were priviliged to attend outstanding\nworkshops and institutes held in Ottawa, New York, San Francisco, and Bethel,\nMaine. Those who attended reported enthusiastically about their experiences, and\nthe information and knowledge they gained was shared with other personnel in their\nunit.\n3\n I 42\nMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT, 1961\/62\nFive registered nurses (three from the Crease Clinic and Provincial Mental\nHospital, one from Valleyview Hospital, and one from The Woodlands School)\nenrolled in the ten months' extension course in nursing administration, sponsored by\nthe Canadian Nurses' Association and the Canadian Hospital Association. An additional three registered nurses enrolled as part-time students in the University School\nof Nursing in order to take a psychiatric nursing course.\nSince 1945 the Mental Health Services has used the Federal Mental Health\nGrant bursaries in order to increase the educational qualifications of registered nurses\nwho held supervisory and teaching positions. Seventeen of the twenty-five nurses\nwho have been given bursaries are still employed in the Mental Health Services.\nTwo nurses are presently attending the University of British Columbia with the\nassistance of mental-health bursaries.\nIn January I was asked to be chairman of one of the plenary sessions entitled\n\" Nursing Services Should Be Unified \" at the Second Canadian Institute on Mental\nHealth Services held in Ottawa. The privilege of hearing and sharing ideas and\ninformation with leading members of the psychiatric health team in Canada was one\nof the highlights of my professional career.\nCommunity Activities\nAs in previous years, several faculty members of the School of Nursing of the\nUniversity of British Columbia worked closely with nurses in the Mental Health\nServices in planning and conducting educational experiences in psychiatric nursing\nfor the nursing students in the degree and certificate programmes. Two conferences\nwere arranged to plan and evaluate the twelve-week clinical experience in psychiatric\nnursing for twenty-eight students and senior field experience for seven students. An\nall-day tour of the Crease Clinic and Provincial Mental Hospital was co-ordinated\nfor thirty-one nursing students.\nSeveral orientation programmes for public health and other nursing personnel\nwere conducted during the year. An all-day tour of the Mental Health Services was\narranged for members of the Union Board of Health in Victoria, and talks were given\nto two units of the Metropolitan Health Committee. The opportunity to work on\ncommittees with several lay and professional members of the community has been\nan educational and enriching experience. Committee membership has included the\nVancouver Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, and the Board of\nExaminers and two task committees of the Registered Nurses' Association of British\nColumbia.\nRECRUITMENT ACTIVITIES\nSince 1959 the graduates of the psychiatric nursing programme have been\nassigned to one of the three large hospital units in accordance with the psychiatric\nnurses' employment preferences and aptitudes, and the relative need for nurses in\nthe units. The Personnel Officer of the Civil Service Commission uses the assembled\ninformation during the usual employment process.\nAugust, 1961, Class\nFebruary, 1962,\nClass\nWomen\nMen\nTotal\nWomen\nMen\nTotal\nNumber in class .\u2014  \t\nNumber employed in Mental Health Services\u2014\nCrease Clinic and Provincial Mental Hospital\t\nValleyview Hospital   \t\nThe Woodlands School\t\n33\n9\n2\n11\n15\n4\n1\n6\n48\n13\n3\n17\n41\n15\n12\n8\n14\n5\n5\n4\n55\n20\n17\n12\nTotals          \t\n22\n11\n33\n35             14\n49\n HEADQUARTERS\nI 43\nThere has been a gradual increase in the number of registered nurses who\nindicate an interest in psychiatric nursing and in employment opportunities in the\nMental Health Services. During the fiscal year a total of twenty-three registered\nnurses were interviewed, and in so doing an orientation to the Mental Health Services was provided. Seven of these nurses were employed\u2014two as clinical supervisors, one as project co-ordinator, three as clinical instructors, and one as a staff\nnurse. The fifteen registered nurses enrolled in the six-month clinical programme\nwere interviewed. The majority were interested in gaining further experience in\npsychiatric nursing, and three sought nursing positions in the Mental Health Services.\nMENTAL HEALTH GRANT PROJECT No. 609-5-136\nThe study of nursing education begun in October, 1960, has continued throughout this fiscal year and is expected to be concluded by June, 1962. The thinking and\nconclusions of the various committees were assembled in a comprehensive report,\nwhich was submitted to the Deputy Minister of Mental Health Services in June,\n1961. An additional grant for the continuation of the project was received, and in\nNovember a co-ordinator, Miss Alice Wright, and a secretary were appointed. The\nSteering and Advisory Committees and three task committees proceeded to develop\na detailed plan for the proposed programme in psychiatric and general nursing. In\nFebruary the chairman of the project and Mr. Harold Lacey, psychiatric nurse representative of the Council of Psychiatric Nurses' Association, were invited to attend\na meeting in Ottawa of the Sub-committee on Personnel, Mental Health Division,\nDepartment of National Health and Welfare. On the return trip to Vancouver, consultation with the Senior Nursing Consultant of the Ontario Hospital Services Commission and a visit to the Nightingale School of Nursing in Toronto permitted the\ncollection of pertinent information for the use of the Steering Committee.\nThis past year's work with my associates has been reviewed with satisfaction.\nI can look forward optimistically to the progress which can be made through the\nco-operative efforts of the growing human resources in the Mental Health Services\nand in the community.\n 1 44 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nDEPARTMENT OF NURSING EDUCATION\nMlSS M. M. LONERGAN, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF NURSING EDUCATION\nThe purpose of the Department\u2014the preparation of nursing personnel for\nMental Health Services in the Province of British Columbia\u2014is realized through\nthe nursing programme offered by the Department.\nPSYCHIATRIC NURSING PROGRAMME\nStudent Census\nApril 1, 1961  271 (191 women and 80 men)\nMarch 31, 1962  245 (181 women and 64 men)\nEnrolled  126 (92 women and 34 men)\nCompleted programme    94 (63 women and 31 men)\nWithdrawals, April 1,  1961, to March\n31, 1962    55 (36 women and 19 men)\nOver one-third of the number of students withdrawing did so due to academic\nfailure and one-quarter because of personality unsuited to psychiatric nursing.\nTherefore, these two factors have become major criteria in the screening of applicants and the selection of students for this programme.\nThe curriculum offers 560 hours of planned academic instruction in biological\nsciences and nursing subjects, the emphasis and focus being psychiatric nursing.\nTwo principal methods of teaching were employed this past year:\u2014\n(a) Group work, which involved dividing each class into small groups, repeating lectures, promoting student preparation for and participation in classes,\nand instructor-guided discussion period.\n(b) Ward practice, which involved correlating classroom and clinical learning\nopportunities, and orientation of instructors and nursing staffs to \" what\nstudents are learning and should have opportunities to practise.\"\nClinical experience is made available, through an increasingly more stable rotation\nplan, in the practice of pyschiatric (acute and continued treatment), mental deficiency, geriatric, and medical-surgical nursing.\nClinical teaching is concentrated largely at the preliminary and junior levels of\npsychiatric nursing experience, where limited objectives are achievable through\nplanned orientation, nursing conferences, psychiatric team rounds, weekly classes,\nincidental teaching, and evaluation interviews. Mental-deficiency nursing experience has been stabilized through the implementation of a rotation plan for men and\nwomen, and which provides for five weeks' practice in bed care and five weeks in\nactive self-help wards.\nThe student organization of the School of Psychiatric Nursing elects an executive representative body\u2014the Student Council. Operating expenses are obtained\nfrom fees payable by the student upon entry into the School. Grants are made to\nvarious activities, and charges are made for social functions sponsored by the Council. Students have been representative members with faculty on committees formed\nby the school adminstration. Sports, social activities, and special projects, diverse\nin nature, are sponsored by the Council for the student-body.\nAFFILIATE PROGRAMME IN PSYCHIATRIC NURSING\nThe purpose of the programme is to help the student nurse enrolled in a general\nhospital school of nursing in British Columbia to increase her understanding of\n HEADQUARTERS\nI 45\npeople and their emotional needs, and to help her devolop some skills in providing\nnursing care for psychiatric patients. The programme also serves to help the student\nto become better informed about mental health, mental illness, and mental hospitals\nso that she becomes a potential resource person in the community.\nThe programme is divided into two six-week periods, each including formal\nlectures, clinical experience, and ward classes. The junior period emphasizes the\nneed for self-understanding, the study of factors contributing to mental illness, and\nthe nursing care of acutely ill psychiatric patients. In the senior period, formal lectures are supplemented by student-presented seminars, the topics of which are related\nto community aspects of psychiatric care.\nFaculty representatives of the home schools have increased the number of their\nvisits to this Department, and the affiliate instructor has met with faculty members at\ntheir home schools.\nTwo students withdrew, and 224 students from the six general hospital schools\n\u25a0completed the three-month programme.\nCLINICAL PROGRAMME FOR REGISTERED NURSES\nFourteen out of fifteen registered nurses successfully completed this six-month\nprogramme. Of these, four obtained nursing positions in the Mental Health Services, nine obtained positions in psychiatric units of general hospitals in this and\nother Provinces, and one returned to the instructor position she held prior to entering the programme.\nThe academic content of the programme includes courses in psychiatric\nnursing, sociology, psychology, group dynamics, and principles of interviewing.\nTeaching methods emphasize group discussion, patient-centred teaching, field-trips,\nout-of-class assignments, and seminars.\nClinical experience is correlated with the academic. Guided experience is provided on acute- and continued-treatment wards and progresses from nursing care for\none patient only to participation as a member of the ward staff with some administrative responsibility.\nPSYCHIATRIC AIDE PROGRAMME\nDuring the past year much effort and planning were directed toward re-establishment of the orientation course for psychiatric aides. Meetings were held with\nrepresentatives of the branch office, Civil Service Commission, and the Departments\nof Nursing Service of the Crease Clinic and Mental Hospital, Essondale, and the\nValleyview Hospital. Two course outlines, varying in content and length, were submitted, as well as proposed conditions for the operation of an orientation course.\nProblems related to the difficulty of releasing aides from service are presently under\nconsideration.\nPOST-BASIC PROGRAMME FOR SENIOR NURSING STAFF\nA refresher course was again offered to senior nursing service staff in March,\n1962, and is planned to extend for several months, with nurses attending four or five\nhours a week on duty time. The purpose of the course is to provide an opportunity\nfor nurses in responsible positions to review, discuss, and study current trends in administration, medical-surgical nursing, and the field of mental health and psychiatry.\nEighty-five men and women from the Crease Clinic and Mental Hospital, the Valleyview Hospital, and The Woodlands School are presently enrolled in the course.\n I 46 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nFACULTY\nIn March, 1962, the faculty numbered nineteen. During the year there were\nseveral changes in its personnel. Miss R. Miller was promoted from the position of\nclinical instructor to that of senior instructor, affiliate programme. Two nursing\nsupervisors transferred from the nursing service division of the Crease Clinic and\nMental Hospital, Essondale, to clinical instructor positions\u2014Mrs. K. MacKinnon to\nthe male side of Crease Clinic and Miss H. Sullivan to The Woodlands School. Miss\nL. Gee, Mrs. R. Katzel, Miss M. McFarlane, and Miss G. Patrick joined the faculty\nas clinical instructors. The Department regrets the departure of Mrs. E. Gibson,\nnursing counsellor; Mrs. F. Sinclair, rotations instructor; and Mr. F. Tudgay,\nclinical instructor.\nThe Associate Director participated in the Unit Nursing Conference Institute on\nNursing Administration at Rockland, University of British Columbia.   The Assistant\nDirector attended the Civil Defence Course for Nurse Educators at Arnprior, Ont.\nA senior instructor attended the World Congress of Psychiatry at Montreal, and a\nclinical instructor attended a remotivation course at Weyburn, Sask.\nThe purpose of the faculty committee on out-of-department examinations is to\nprepare and mark (a) licensing examinations for the Council of Psychiatric Nurses\nand (b) promotional examinations for the Civil Service Commission. Seven separate test papers were prepared and 192 examinations marked and graded.\nOther faculty activities included \" open house \" for 275 high-school students\nand counsellors; introduction of a new student clinical experience evaluation form\nand guide; assignment of preliminary men students to female wards, as a first clinical\nexperience; inclusion of a St. John Ambulance first-aid course in the psychiatric\nnursing programme curriculum; supervision of beginning instructors for a four-\nmonth orientation period; recruitment addresses and interviews at various high\nschools on the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island; participation in Mental\nHealth Services projects; and implementation of a clinical experience rotation plan\nfor the psychiatric nursing programme.\nIt is noteworthy that faculty activities invariably involved and were dependent\nupon the assistance of nursing staff. It is a distinct pleasure to the Department to\nacknowledge this support from nursing divisions of the Mental Health Services\nBranch, and to express its appreciation for the services provided by many departments of the Crease Clinic and Mental Hospital, Essondale.\n CREASE CLINIC AND PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL\nI 47\nPART II.\u2014CREASE CLINIC OF PSYCHOLOGICAL MEDICINE\nAND PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL\nREPORT OF THE CREASE CLINIC OF\nPSYCHOLOGICAL MEDICINE\nREPORT OF THE MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT\nT. G. Caunt, Medical Superintendent\nThe Crease Clinic of Psychological Medicine completed its eleventh year of\nservice to the mentally ill of British Columbia with the fiscal year ended March 31,\n1962. During this period the treatment policy has continued as established originally, mainly to provide residential intensive treatment care for those patients who\nare believed capable of benefiting from four months or less of psychiatric treatment.\nProspective patient admissions to the Crease Clinic are screened first by the\ncommunity doctor, then by the Crease Clinic admitting doctor regarding their\nsuitability for admission.\nThe Crease Clinic has operated efficiently and at capacity in all departments.\nAgain this year more use is being made of the Crease Clinic by more of the mentally\nill of British Columbia. More patients are being admitted each year to the Crease\nClinic voluntarily. More patients retained their civil rights while receiving treatment in the Clinic, and more patients were discharged fit to return to the community\non completion of their treatment.\nExamination of the following table, which is a summary of population in the\nCrease Clinic for the year, shows that the number of patients admitted was 1,632.\nThe previous year's total was 1,581 admissions.\nMale\nFemale\nTotal\nIn residence, April 1, 1961\t\n108\n136\n244\nAdmissions\u2014\n505\n24\n203\n579\n46\n275\n1,084\n70\n478\nReadmissions to a different institution of Mental Health Services\n732\n900\n1,632\n840\n1,036\n1,876\nSeparations\u2014'\n701\n24\n2\n3\n855\n34\n1\n1\n1,556\n58\n2\n1\nDied\t\n4\n730\n891\n1,621\n+2\n110\n+9\n145\n+ H\n255\nThe admission rate of voluntary patients continues to increase. There were\n1,139 such admissions, which is 69.8 per cent of the total and 4 per cent more than\nin the previous year.\nA total of 1,621 separations is noted for the year ended March 31, 1962. Of\nthese, fifty-eight patients, twenty-four men and thirty-four women, were admitted to\n I 48 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT, 1961\/62\nthe Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale, for continued treatment, or 3.55 per\ncent of the discharges. This compares with 3.74 per cent in the previous year. One\nthousand five hundred and sixty or 96.45 per cent of the Crease Clinic patients were\ndischarged directly to the community.\nOne thousand three hundred and twenty-nine or 81.44 per cent of the 1,632\npatients accepted for treatment in the Crease Clinic retained and were capable of\nexercising their full civil rights during the course of their treatment. Only 303\npatients or 18.56 per cent were, in the opinion of the Clinical Director, too sick\nmentally to look after themselves or their own affairs.\nDr. W. J. G. McFarlane, specialist in psychiatry, joined the Crease Clinic staff\nand was appointed Admitting Officer, replacing Dr. R. W. Harrington, who was\nappointed Director of the Rehabilitation and After Care Programme at 445 West\nThirteenth Avenue, Vancouver.\nOperating-room\nHigh standards have been maintained and an excellent service provided to\npatients by the specialist consultant staff and surgical residents.\nDuring their six-month rotations, Dr. K. G. Atkinson and Dr. D. A. Brown,\nsurgical residents, have evaluated 3,546 patients from the Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale; Crease Clinic; Valleyview Hospital; The Woodlands School; and\nColquitz Hospital who required surgical investigations or follow-up after surgical\nprocedures.\nThe following surgeries and procedures represent the 92.5 per cent bed capacity\nof the surgical ward:\u2014\nGeneral major surgeries  133\nGeneral minor surgeries  165\nNeurological surgeries      11\nOrthopaedic surgeries     64\nUrological surgeries     75\nEye surgeries      30\nEar, nose, and throat     21\nPlastic surgeries     24\nChest surgeries       6\nPlasters with anaesthetics     22\nDental extractions      45\nBlocks     23\nTotal   619\nThis year an increase has been shown in the number of new admissions to the\nHospital which have been evaluated and treated by this unit. Several patients with\npsychological problems which have been partly due to their complexions have had\nplastic surgery, enabling them to be rehabilitated.\nSeveral pieces of new equipment have improved working facilities for the staff.\nThe installation of an overhead light with reflector in the operating-room has made\na great improvement in the lighting. The mobile X-ray unit has made it possible to\ndo neurological arteriograms and urological procedures in the operating-room. This\nX-ray unit has also proven invaluable in the diagnosis of seriously ill patients on the\nsurgical ward. The purchase of the new anaesthetic machine has provided for more\nversatile anaesthetics. The carbon dioxide absorber has made it possible to do\nanaesthetics for surgery on tuberculosis patients.\n CREASE CLINIC AND PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL I 49\nDEPARTMENT OF NEUROLOGY\nSince the last report of the Department of Neurology, it has suffered the untimely loss of Dr. W. P. Fister, who had ably directed and guided its work for the\nprevious eleven years. Changes in the workings of the department instituted by\nDr. Fister shortly before his death have continued, resulting in an increase in the\nnumber of consultations and a closer clinical supervision of the organic-neurological\ncases.   These changes have proved of benefit to all.\nIn addition, the department has been able to spread its work by opening up a\nnew unit for electroencephalography at The Woodlands School. It has also been\nable to make use of the existing unit at the Mental Health Centre for out-patient\nfollow-up cases and for referrals from the Willingdon Avenue School for Girls.\nAlready these changes appear to be appreciated.\nNeurosurgical consultations and procedures continue to be provided by Dr.\nFrank Turnbull.

The total in residence at March\n31, 1961, was 2,948, and the total in residence on March 31, 1962, was 2,706, a\nreduction of 242.\nThe percentage of patients recovered or improved, as compared to admissions,\nwas 85.3 per cent. This compares with 75.1 per cent the previous year. The percentage of deaths to the number under treatment was 3.1 per cent. The percentage\nof discharges to admission (exclusive of deaths) was 123.8 per cent. The average\ndaily patient population was 2,824.58. This is a reduction of 183.44 from the\nprevious year, when the daily average population was 3,008.02.\n I 52 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nThis year 100 Order in Council patients were admitted. This is a reduction\nover the previous year, when 126 Order in Council patients were admitted.\nDuring the year the admission of Federal cases requiring psychiatric treatment\nfurther declined from the previous year's total of 223. The Department of Veterans'\nAffairs and the Department of Indian Health Services most frequently requested our\nservice.   On March 31, 1962, the following Federal cases were in residence:\u2014\nDepartment of Veterans' Affairs  131\nImperial veterans (D.V.A.)       1\nIndian Health Services     35\nYukon Territorial Government       7\nBritish Columbia Penitentiary       2\nTotal  176\nThe average monthly admission rate in 1959 was 113.91; in 1960, 133.25; in\n1961, 150; and for the year ended March 31, 1962, 169. This gives an indication\nof the increasing demands of the people of British Columbia for the services provided by this division of the Provincial Mental Health Services.\nThe increased rate of patient admissions, treatments, and separations has\nincreased the work load of every department of the Provincial Mental Hospital.\nThe patient-treatment team has operated efficiently and at capacity.\nAll proven and accepted types of therapy are available and continue to be used\nfor the benefit of the patients in the Provincial Mental Hospital.\nGeneral Comments\nI appreciate the fullest co-operation and support which has been given me by\nall staff members of the Crease Clinic and Provincial Mental Hospital.\nThe Honourable Eric Martin, Minister of Health Services and Hospital Insurance; Dr. A. E. Davidson, Deputy Minister of Mental Health Services; and all\ndivisions of the Mental Health Services Branch have been co-operative and helpful.\nAll departments of Government and community services associated with the welfare\nof our patients have been most helpful.\nWard doors are kept open and grounds privileges are extended wherever this\nis indicated and is possible in keeping with the physical and mental condition of the\npatients. Sixteen of the twenty-one men's wards are open, as are eighteen of the\ntwenty-three women's wards. This policy is helpful to the patient therapeutically,\nas well as being considered an aid to patient and staff morale. The number varies,\nbut at present over 2,000 or over two-thirds of the Crease Clinic and Provincial\nMental Hospital patients have free access to the Hospital grounds.\nEach year there is a noticeable increase in the community interest in the Crease\nClinic and Provincial Mental Hospital. Each year more visitors come singly, in\ngroups, or as organizations to see friends or relatives, participate in patient therapeutic programmes, or assist with the Canadian Mental Health Association hospital\nvolunteer organization's activities. This increased community interest in mental\nhealth has made it possible for more patients to spend day, night, week-end, or\nlonger visits in the community with relatives or friends, to their mutual advantage.\nMany changes and improvements have been made for the benefit of patients\nin many areas of the Hospital. There is a continuing improvement in nursing techniques. In-service staff lectures and community study are further improving nursing\nstandards. Each year more University of British Columbia and general affiliate\nnurses from the six British Columbia general hospitals' schools of nursing come to\n CREASE CLINIC AND PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL\nI 53\nthe Crease Clinic and Provincial Mental Hospital. Interns in occupational therapy,\npsychology, medicine, and dietetics also attend during the summer months.\nOn December 19, 1961, a Rehabilitation and After-care Centre at 445 West\nThirteenth Avenue, Vancouver, was opened. Dr. R. W. Harrington, specialist in\npsychiatry, was appointed Director. This unit, with its staff and treatment teams\nfrom the Provincial Mental Hospital, provides an after-care service for discharged\npatients. It is proving to be successful, and the demand for service is increasing\nrapidly. The Director of the Rehabilitation and After-care centre also supervises\nthe operation of the two half-way houses in Vancouver\u2014-the \" Vista \" for female\npatients, which was opened in 1948, and the \" Venture \" for male patients, which\nhas been in operation since 1957.\nThe moving of D 2 and E 2 infirmary wards to the North Lawn Building is\nespecially noteworthy and is a tremendous improvement in the care and treatment\nof infirmary patients. The vacated wards, D 2 and E 2, in the Centre Lawn Building\nwere renovated and converted to male and female admitting wards. This change has\ngreatly improved the efficiency of patients' admission and care.\nThe problem for caring of the mentally ill of this Province is a constantly\nincreasing one. It is therefore a pleasure to report that considerable improvement\nhas been made in patient treatment. The discharge rate has increased, and boarding-\nhome and after care services have been expanded. In addition to improvements\nin patient housing and building maintenance, much further beautification of the\nHospital grounds has been accomplished.\nThere are many acts of courage and heroism performed in the course of duty\nby staff members in an institution of this size during the period of a year, many of\nwhich are not reported. I wish to commend Colony Farm staff members Mr. Harry\nCurrie and Mr. John Attridge, who were instrumental in saving a patient's life from\ndrowning in the Coquitlam River on August 4, 1961. I also wish to commend the\naction of Mr. E. Fisher, assistant charge nurse of Riverside Annex Building, who, at\nconsiderable risk to his life, was instrumental, with his staff, in evacuating the\npatients in four minutes from the Riverside Annex Building and personally saving\ntwo patients in the fire which claimed one life on January 31, 1962.\nWomen's Nursing Division\nThe Women's Nursing Division has completed a very rewarding year under the\nable direction of Mrs. M. L. McKay, Superintendent of Nurses.\nDuring this past year the Women's Division of Nursing has continued to expand\nits services and has been involved in considerable reorganization, which has resulted\nin further improving the quality of nursing care.\nOne of the milestones of the year occurred in September of 1961 when the\nCentral Supply Department was opened. The purpose of this department is to provide a service of properly autoclaved equipment and supplies which are normally\nused in the care of patients. It also serves as an organized control of the care and\nmanagement of hospital equipment, thereby increasing the general economy of its\nusage.\nIn July of 1961 the two infirmary wards were moved from the Central Supply\nBuildings to the North Lawn Building. This move paved the way for the renovation\nof Ward E 2 in the Centre Lawn Building, which is now functioning as the women's\nadmitting ward of the Provincial Mental Hospital. One feature which is notable is\nthe fact that this ward now contains an admitting suite, which is a great improvement\nover the past procedures.\n I 54 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nIn order to accommodate the two new wards in the North Lawn Building, a\nreassessment of patients was necessary, which resulted in many transfers to other\nwards or out of the buliding. In the Centre Lawn Building this change has resulted\nin newly admitted patients receiving more individualized and improved nursing care.\nWith the exception of E 3, all female wards in this building are now declared open.\nDuring the year there has been a continued trend to encourage the socialization\nof patients. This has obtained in work as well as recreational situations. The usual\nparties continue to be arranged, which makes provision for the joint participation of\npatients from the men's and women's wards. One such example is the Christmas\nparty, which was held for the first time for all patients within the building on\nWard E 3.\nContinued efforts have been made to improve patient-care through more efficient assignment of nursing staff. To this end, all wards in the Crease Clinic adopted\nteam nursing and are finding it improves nurse-patient relationships.\nIn the East Lawn Building the staff from Ward H 4 has initiated group nursing,\nwhich has proved an improvement over previous assignments. As a result of this\nsystem, some of the regressed patients have demonstrated progress, and this encourages its continuance.\nMale student psychiatric nurses were assigned for the first time to the women's\nwards.   This proved to be successful from both the view-point of patients and staff.\nIn an effort to simplify nursing administration, daily staff attendance sheets have\nbeen instituted. A new policy has also been drawn up in conjunction with the pay\noffice which has greatly improved the procedure of issuing monthly pay-cheques.\nPlans are continuing as scheduled to separate the nursing and dietary departments. Such a procedure is the initial step toward a clearer delineation of nursing\nfunctions and should prove most valuable in the future.\nSupervisors in each area now have a manual on policies and procedures to\nwhich they can refer. This is proving to be particularly useful to new members of\nthe nursing staff.\nThe in-service Educational Programme has continued into the third consecutive\nyear under the leadership of Mrs. B. Lowry. A total of fifty-two hours of lectures\nwas given to the following three levels of male and female staff: (a) Psychiatric\naides, (b) general-duty nurses, and (c) charge and assistant charge nurses. Included\nin this programme were lectures in oxygen therapy, which 191 staff members\nattended, and lectures on mouth-to-mouth breathing and resuscitation, which were\nattended by 247 individuals.\nThe trend toward additional preparation continues among the senior nursing\nstaff. Three members have been carrying night-school courses for some years and\nhope eventually to go to university.\nIn the past year two head nurses, Mrs. J. Unger and Mrs. L. Thompson,\nenrolled in a correspondence course in nursing unit administration, which was sponsored by the Canadian Nurses' Association and financed by Federal Health Grant.\nOne supervisor, Mrs. E. Wilton, enrolled in this course at her own expense. The\nsenior clinic supervisor, Mrs. A. Axtell, attended lectures in psychiatric nursing\nthroughout the year at the University of British Columbia.\nIn May, 1961, Mrs. M. Mounce, Assistant Superintendent of Nurses, attended\nthe Nurse Educator Course in Civil Defence at Arnprior, Ont. In July Mrs. C. Ross,\ncharge nurse, attended the Laboratory of Human Relations held in Bethel, Maine.\nAn institute on remotivation was held in September and was attended by Mrs.\nM. Simpson, senior supervisor in East Lawn, and by Mrs. M. Elias, a psychiatric\n CREASE CLINIC AND PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL\nI 55\nnurse from that building.   Mrs. M. Bidwell, head nurse from North Lawn Building,\nalso attended one week of lectures at Willow Chest Centre.\nIt should be noted that these various institutes and courses have provided stimulation as well as contributing to the general interest in modern concepts of patient-\ncare.\nMen's Nursing Division\nMr. R. H. Strong, Chief Psychiatric Male Nurse, reports that steady advances\nhave been made in the nursing care of the mentally ill and that staff education has\nincreased considerably. The results have been an increasing interest and participation in various team activities. It has been noted in the past year that many of our\nnursing staff are contributing much of their free time by returning to the Hospital in\noff-duty hours to assist with social and recreational functions for the patients.\nThe establishment of unit medical directors and unit nursing supervisors in\n1960 made possible a more cohesive and organized unit than previously. It has been\npossible to obtain a closer and better co-ordinated psychiatric team in each unit,\nwhich involves all related disciplines. In the past year these units have certainly\nproven their value both to patients as well as all other staff.\nA number of remotivation programmes at the Hospital continue to function\nquite effectively. The Farm View project, under the supervision of psychiatric nurse\nMr. A. Finnie, is gradually being extended farther up the hill behind West Lawn.\nThe landscaping being undertaken by groups of male and female patients on this\nproject is beautifying the area considerably.\nThe remotivation programmes in West Lawn have taken the form of picking\nthe better of the regressed patients from C 4 in groups of ten and moving them to a\nsmall ward, B 4, and giving them concentrated therapies. Most of them improved\nso as to be able to be placed on open wards. Some of them later were discharged\ncompletely.\nRiverside area has worked diligently on the Riverside Park project, and, as\nwell as landscaping and beautifying the allotted park-site, they built a picnic shelter,\nbarbecue, erected a flagpole, and started working on a fish-pond which they hope\nto complete this year. Patients in this area also made a small nine-hole golf-course\nin the airing-court and made a bowling-green at the east end of the building with the\nhelp of the gardeners.\nThis past year three separate therapeutic groups were formed in the Riverside\narea\u2014(1) ward discussion groups, (2) resocialization groups, and (3) remotivation\ngroups. The three groups work in co-ordination. The results have been gratifying.\nA number of the participating patients have been discharged, and a fair number\nhave been transferred to boarding homes.\nCredit for assisting in the resocialization of many of the patients in Riverside\narea must be given to a group of student nurses from the School of Nursing of the\nUniversity of British Columbia. Patients were taken on picnics, fishing trips, sightseeing tours, in addition to the regular-scheduled recreational programmes. Other\nstudent nurses from the University were assigned to Crease Clinic Building, Centre\nLawn Building, and West Lawn Building.\nThe successful experiment of allowing patients to go into the community on\nberry-picking expeditions was repeated this year and was even more successful.\nTwenty patients made a total of $1,435 during the blueberry season. One patient\nin particular made the highest amount of any picker according to the berry-farmer.\nHe made $169 in the season, and several others made well over $100. The money\nwent into the patients' respective accounts.   The aforementioned patient, as well as\n I 56 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nseveral others, used his money to help rehabilitate himself when he was discharged\nfrom Hospital.\nIn July thirty-seven patients were transferred to West Lawn Building from\nNorth Lawn Building. All infirmary patients from D 2 were transferred to the\nNorth Lawn Building. The ward was then renovated and redecorated, and on February 12, 1962, was reopened as the male admitting ward for the Provincial Mental\nHospital, with 33 beds maximum. Patients are now taken directly to the admitting\nsection of the ward from the rear of the building, instead of the front of the building\nas formerly.   Ward D 4 has now become a continued-treatment ward.\nAt 5.34 p.m. on January 31, 1962, fire broke out in the Riverside Annex, and\nall patients except one were immediately evacuated. This patient was overcome by\nsmoke fumes before he could be reached. Response to the fire call by the Fire\nDepartment was rapid. A great deal of credit is due the nursing staff for getting\ntheir patients out in four minutes. The senior nurse, Mr. E. Fisher, entered the\nbuilding through the bathroom window to rescue two crippled patients. The patients\nevacuated had to be temporarily relocated on different wards in the Hospital.\nThe Riverside Annex is now completely renovated and the patients returned.\nThe fire-walls and fire-doors in the Riverside Annex undoubtedly saved the building\nand prevented a major catastrophe.\nThe Public Works Department has completed many important projects in the\nmale service areas this past year. The bootroom was renovated to a very modern\nand attractive barber-shop. The opening of the new shop is another step toward\nnatural community life. We consider this an important project to have been completed because of the therapeutic value in having a central barber-shop where all\nmale patients in West Lawn Building, Centre Lawn Building, and Crease Clinic\nBuilding may go at will, on the days scheduled for their wards, rather than the barber\nhaving to go to each ward.\nFormal in-service lectures commenced again in September, and our staff have\nbeen very keen to attend in their turn. Four 64-hour post basic courses were also\nre-established by the Department of Nursing Education for the benefit of charge and\nassistant charge nurses and will continue until December, 1962. In the early part\nof 1962 a short course of administration was conducted by the Personnel Officer,\nMr. Dowling, for the benefit of charge psychiatric nurses. Other disciplines and\nmedical staff have devoted much of their time toward staff in-service education.\nOn April 24 and 25, 1961, Mr. R. H. Strong, Chief Psychiatric Male Nurse,\nEssondale, was privileged to attend a nursing institute for senior nursing supervisory\npersonnel at Rockwood Centre. This was an all-B.C. institute, with guidance and\ndirection from Mr. A. Thomas and Mrs. B. Smith, of the Adult Education Department of the University of British Columbia.\nIn September Mr. M. Savoie, psychiatric nurse, was enrolled in a special one-\nweek course at Weyburn on remotivation. Mr. Clare, Riverside Unit Supervisor,\nattended for one day as an observer, as did the Acting Clinic Director. In September\nMr. Knight, Chief Psychiatric Nurse, Crease Clinic, attended a one-week course on\nhuman relations and later a further week on communications in Vancouver under\nthe Canadian Department of Labour Training Programme. Mr. E. Gustafson, assistant charge psychiatric nurse, attended a two-part institute at the University of\nWashington on a course entitled \" Person to Person \" in November, 1961, and February, 1962.   Each part took five days.\nThe ground supervisors interviewed a total of 3,098 patients for grounds privileges during the year (1,656 males and 1,442 females).\n CREASE CLINIC AND PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL I 57\nDepartment of Psychology\nThe Department of Psychology, under Mr. J. W. Borthwick's direction, reports\na successful year.\nAn increased availability of psychologists plus more active use of Federal training grants and better liaison with the University of British Columbia have made it\npossible to recruit and keep a larger staff than we have had for several years. As a\nresult, the activities of the Department of Psychology have expanded, and it has\nbeen able to provide a more comprehensive service in the Crease Clinic and Provincial Mental Hospital.\nDuring the year, 3,710 psychological tests were administered and 780 reports\nabout patients were submitted. Group tests (to be used for counselling and guidance) were administered to new students in the School of Psychiatric Nursing.\nMany lectures and talks of a psychological nature were delivered. Increasing\nactivity in training programmes resulted in more requests for the department's contributions. Topics ranging from communication to psychological development were\ncovered in 111 hours of lectures.\nThe greatest expansion in the activities of the department was related to group\ntherapy. Most of the staff were involved with a therapeutic group during the year.\nA total of 545 group sessions was conducted. One member co-ordinated the intensive group programme for young acutely ill schizophrenics in the Crease Clinic. The\npsychologist attached to the East Lawn Building helped to develop ward programmes\nfor more disturbed patients. A group discussion programme was begun for closed-\nward patients in the West Lawn Building. A number of nurses participated with\nthe psychology staff in group programmes and are now leading their own groups.\nIn conjunction with an occupational therapist, one of our staff prepared a manual,\n\" Working with Intensive Therapeutic Groups,\" which summarizes their philosophy\nand methods. Specific techniques they have found most useful are included. Copies\nhave been distributed primarily to interested nurses.\nThere has been more opportunity for research by members of the department.\nA number of small projects have been undertaken, and the department has been\nable to make use of the four students employed during the summer to gather and\nprocess data. In one project, regression equations have been worked out to predict\nintelligence test scores from a new test which requires less than ten minutes to\nadminister.\nThe department repeated the summer programme for graduating students from\nthe University of British Columbia. The most immediate reward from this programme has been the recruitment into the Mental Health Services as permanent staff\nof three of these students following their graduate training.\nSocial Services\nDuring the year the staff of the Social Service Department was concerned, not\nonly with consolidating existing services to patients and their families, but with then-\nexpansion into the areas of boarding-home and after-care services as well. Also,\nas a result of the growing emphasis on group treatment of patients in psychiatric\nsettings, the social caseworkers, and more specifically those assigned to the Crease\nClinic, found themselves engaged increasingly in services to groups of patients in\naddition to those regularly provided on an individual basis. The appointment of a\nqualified social group worker to the staff of this department was of immeasurable\nassistance.\nAn example of this latter service is the group for adolescent patients which for\nseveral months was in operation in the Crease Clinic under the leadership of a social\n I 58 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\ncaseworker, who did, however, make extensive use of the consultation available from\nthe social group worker. Similar help was also provided in relation to those group\nservices offered to family members of Crease Clinic patients as an aid to their better\nunderstanding of emotional and mental disorders.\nOf particular interest are the patient-groups which, under the direct guidance\nof the social group worker, were commenced at the \" Vista \" and \" Venture\"\nrehabilitation units. Such groups served a therapeutically useful purpose in helping\nto prepare patients for their return to community life by providing them with an\nopportunity to share their feelings associated with discharge from Hospital.\nIn addition to the above, the social group worker has been responsible for\ndirect services to two groups of patients in the Provincial Mental Hospital.\nThe work of the department, particularly in the long-term units, has expanded\nconsiderably in the area of boarding-home care. The statistical summary of placements effected shows that 104 patients, whose needs were primarily for domiciliary\ncare, were placed in licensed boarding and family-care homes, offering smaller group\nliivng experiences and more individualized attention than is possible in the hospital\nsetting.   At the same time, beds were freed for more acutely ill patients.\nFor some patients, particularly younger ones who are recovering from serious\nacute mental illnesses., there is a therapeutic benefit to be derived from placement in\nfamily-care homes which accommodate not more than two or three patients and\nprovide a supportive milieu for testing out treatment gains in a setting nearer to that\nof normal family life. Although the availability of this type of facility has been\nlimited, it represents an area which undoubtedly will be developed in the future.\nThe aforementioned statistics refer only to patients placed in domiciliary boarding care and who were expected to remain under the supervision of Hospital services\nfor an indefinite period. Of this group, twenty-one or 13 per cent were returned to\nHospital for further treatment. As of March 31st, however, a significant number\nof this returned group were again being considered for boarding-home care and\nshould be placed within the next few months.\nDuring the year it was possible to assign one social worker from the West Lawn\nservice on a full-time basis in the Riverside Building, with the result that Social\nService participated actively in planning for 79 of the 101 patients who were either\ndischarged from this building or placed in domiciliary boarding-home care. The\nlatter programme accounted for eleven patients of the total group of seventy-nine\nwho were referred for social service help in planning and carrying out physical separation from the Hospital. Of the remaining sixty-eight who were discharged, thirty-\neight were carried in after-care by the Riverside social worker. The above figures\nindicate an increase in discharge rates over the previous year and point to the value\nof carefully planned and executed discharges in that it has been necessary to return\nvery few of this group to the Hospital.\nSocial-work activities in the Centre Lawn Building continued to be concerned\nprimarily with the provision of brief social and casework services on an accelerated\nbasis. The results of a study undertaken by members of the social service staff in\nthis unit toward the end of the previous year confirm this fact in that it revealed that\na notable percentage of the unattached male patients admitted during a specified\nperiod were subsequently diagnosed as suffering from non-psychotic illnesses and,\nfor this reason, were not eligible for continuing treatment in the Mental Hospital.\nHowever, because of the indigent state of such patients generally, the social workers\nwere, of necessity, engaged in processing referrals for financial assistance and accommodation. This situation has continued to exist throughout this year and has\nabsorbed a significant proportion of social-work time.\n CREASE CLINIC AND PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL I 59\nWith a view to increasing the over-all coverage of brief services, particularly\nthose related to discharge, and also to free caseworkers to meet the more complex\nsocial needs of acutely ill patients, the admissions and brief services sections, both\nin this unit and the Crease Clinic, were reorganized under senior social workers\nwhose responsibilities included an over-view of discharge plans for patients generally.\nThe arrangement, while not possible of 100 per cent coverage, has nevertheless\nresulted in more efficient discharge plans.\nAs in the previous year, the staff of the East Lawn Social Service Department\nwas actively engaged in preparing patients for domiciliary boarding-home care and\nin the ongoing supervision which this programme entailed. More than 60 per cent\nof such placements made within the year emanated from this unit.\nFurthermore, as a result of efforts on the part of Hospital personnel to sustain\nthe interest of relatives in the treatment and well-being of the long-term patients, an\nincreasing number of patients from the East Lawn Building were successfully rehabilitated to the care and supervision of family members. Such arrangements have\ninvolved the social-work staff in supportive services during the probationary period\nand in some cases beyond it.\nThe social and casework services rendered by the department are reflected in\nthe statistical summaries for the year. In the Provincial Mental Hospital 2,880\npatients were in receipt of either brief or continuing services, as compared with 1,981\npatients during the previous year. This is an increase of 899 or approximately 45\nper cent. This increase derives largely from the Centre Lawn Building, where intake\nto the department more than doubled that of the preceding year.\nIn contrast, the statistics for the Crease Clinic have remained consistent with\nthose of 1960\/61 and show only a slight rise in intake of cases to the department\n(1,491 as compared with 1,409, or an increase of 5.8 per cent).\nThese services have involved the social workers of the Mental Hospital in\n19,935 interviews.\nSimilarly, the social workers in the Crease Clinic were engaged in 6,347 interviews with or on behalf of patients.\nThe number of patients placed in domiciliary boarding care during the year has\nincreased considerably. As of March 31, 1962, 113 patients were accommodated,\nin comparison with forty-nine patients as of March 31, 1961.\nAs in former years, the staff accepted responsibility for contributing to the\neducation of the community, the profession itself, and allied disciplines through\nspeaking engagements, lectures, and orientations. As a means of meeting educational responsibilities toward the profession, twelve students from the School of\nSocial Work, consisting of nine first-year students (B.S.W.) and three second-year\nstudents (M.S.W.), were accepted for field-work practice under the instruction of\nnine senior and supervisory caseworkers. The programme has been mutually beneficial to students and instructors in that it stimulated professional growth and improved standards of practice. In addition, the services of the social group worker\nwere requested by the School of Social Work for lecture purposes in the area of\ncraft work.\nTwo members of the social-work staff were granted educational leave in order\nto complete the requirements for the master's degree in social work under Federal\nMental Health bursary and will be returning to duty in May, 1962. The staff was\nalso represented at two conferences and institutes geared to recent developments in\nsocial-work method and professional practice.\nA research project begun in the previous year was completed. Basic social\ninformation was obtained on 354 male and female patients resident in the Hospital\non December 31, 1960, and patients admitted during January of 1961.   From the\n I 60 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nsome twenty-two categories uncovered, it was possible, through the use of the I.B.M.\nsystem, to draw out many different samples of social factors which were common to\nthis patient-group and to use this material in predicting special problem areas and\ncasework needs. While it was not a specific focus of the research project, there was\na strong indication that a large majority of the patients comprising the sample had\nnot had contact with community social agencies. It is expected that further research\non this particular aspect will be undertaken.\nOccupational Therapy\nThe Occupational Therapy Department, under the leadership of Miss June\nArcher, Supervisor, has gradually expanded its services to meet the growing need to\ninvolve all grades of patients in meaningful activity programmes. Increased involvement with other services has shown a considerable expansion from individual treatments carried out in the department to group work involving greater numbers of\npatients on the wards. This reflects mainly the enthusiasm and co-operation of the\nnursing staff who have organized and maintained such groups in conjunction with\nthe occupational therapy-recreational therapy programmes. The recently established Unit Activities Co-ordinating Committees, which are comprised of representatives from each discipline directly involved with any activity programme planned for\npatients within a unit, have enabled increased communication and understanding of\nthe differing needs of the patients in acute and long-term areas.\nAt these meetings an effort has been made to prevent overlapping of activities\nand to evaluate the most therapeutic use of each discipline's contribution for the\nwelfare of the patient.\nThe Activities of Daily Living Programme commenced in April, 1961, and is\ngradually beginning to show good results. In January the Hospital provided a house\nfor use of the patients involved in this intensive domestic rehabilitation programme.\nWith increased facilities, eight patients can now be accommodated. The close cooperation and interest of medical, nursing, social service, and volunteer staff has\nhelped to develop the potentialities of the unit and the placement of patients on\ndischarge.   Twenty-nine patients attended this unit.\nIt is hoped that in the future selected patients taking part in the programme\nwill be able to live and sleep in the home with the minimum of supervision. This\nwould provide a reality testing situation to establish the amount of independence patients can achieve within the Hospital setting prior to discharge into the community.\nIn relation to the expansion of the Activities for Daily Living Programme and\nthe establishment of the unit in Home 110, many groups of patients have been\ninvolved in providing furnishings for this area. Patients in West Lawn and Centre\nLawn woodwork departments have assisted in framing pictures and reconditioning\nfurniture for the home, while the ladies have been concerned with the soft furnishings.\nThe need to provide meaningful work projects has been met in a variety of\nways, such as the construction of the Riverside Park area and the picnic-site above\nWest Lawn, where patients and staff have participated in their construction.\nSeveral departments have started framing suitable calendars, posters, and prints\nin an attempt to supply the wards with pictures. These are being catalogued, and\neventually it is hoped that a picture library will be established.\nThe experience gained in the observation and participation in an intensive group\nsituation, such as the somnolent insulin, has been reflected in an increasing use of\nsuch techniques. Much of this is the result of the interest and co-operation shown\nby the Psychology Department.\n CREASE CLINIC AND PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL I 61\nIn North Lawn the recent assessment and regrouping of patients according to\ntheir mental status and potential chances of rehabilitation has led to a more integrated treatment programme using small intensive groups on a multi-discipline basis.\nThe range of activities and media used with these groups has widened to include all\ntypes of experience from simple cookery classes to visiting places of interest outside\nthe Hospital.\nEducational responsibilities in orientating other disciplines and outside groups\nto occupational therapy have been carried out. Methods included lectures, demonstrations, seminars, and the production of a manual, \" Working with Small Intensive\nGroups,\" by Mr. Geddes, Psychology Department, in collaboration with Miss Ogden,\nof the Occupational Therapy Department. All these have been geared to help\nnursing students in their increasing role in activity settings both on the ward and in\nthe Occupational Therapy Departments.\nFive graduate students from the University of Toronto and three first-year\nstudents from the Universite de Montreal each spent nine weeks interning in the\ndepartment during the summer months. These students contributed greatly to the\ndepartment and showed much appreciation of the interest shown by other staff.\nThe annual occupational-therapy sale was held on December 6th and realized\n$2,785.25. This year Valleyview work was sold earlier at a sale in its own building.\nRecreational Therapy\nThe Recreational Therapy Department, under Mr. G. Maxwell, has had an\nactive programme throughout the year. There has been a considerable growth of\nsocio-recreational techniques as part of the Hospital's treatment programme.\nRevision of staff working-hours and increased co-operation with volunteer\ngroups have resulted in maximum use of recreational facilities.\nPennington Hall continues to prove an active magnet, attracting the time and\nattention of many hundreds of patients during those grounds-privileged hours when\nthey are free to select activities of their own choosing.\nA new billiard table has been installed in the West Lawn Building.\nA regular afternoon swimming programme at Hillside Pool is conducted during\nthe summer months for grounds-privileged patients.\nA varied programme of outdoor activities is available during the summer\nmonths.\nThe music therapist reports a busy year, during which, in addition to regular\nweekly music programmes on the wards, he conducted activities in the Music Centre\nin the East Lawn Building, provided individual instrument instruction for eighteen\npatients, gave weekly music appreciation sessions averaging twenty patients, and\nformed a patient orchestra of seven to nine members. Choir practice was held every\nTuesday afternoon, and choral and organ performances contributed much to the\nregular religious services each Sunday.\nThe statistical report shows increased activity in all areas. The sessions and\nattendance were made up as follows:-\u2014\u2022\nSessions Attendance\nCrease Clinic      976 34,058\nProvincial Mental Hospital  1,828 154,881\nMusic therapy      453 13,294\nStaff recreation      235 8,235\nTotals  3,492 210,468\n 1 62 mental health services report, 1961\/62\nPatients' School\nThe school is open for classes from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. At the end of the year\nthere were forty-three patients\u2014twenty-six adults and seventeen adolescents\u2014in the\nteaching programme. Thirty-seven of these attended the regular daily classes, and\nsix who were unable to do so received instruction on the wards.\nTo suit the needs of a hospital, the programme is necessarily varied. The main\naim is to assist the individual to resume or complete his interrupted schooling\nwhenever possible. Correspondence courses available from the Department of Education have proved of great value. Nearly half the enrolment availed themselves\nof one or more of these courses. In addition to the above, classes in elementary\neducation for those who desire it and classes for New Canadians to improve their\nEnglish have been carried.\nRehabilitation and After-care\nThe After-care Unit of the Crease Clinic and Provincial Mental Hospital was\nopened on December 19, 1961, under the direction of Dr. R. W. Harrington, with\nthe object of giving follow-up services to patients in the community. The headquarters is a psychiatric community clinic located at 445 West Thirteenth Avenue,\nVancouver.  The clinic is open daily from Monday to Friday.\nThe general goal of the unit is to maintain patients out of hospital and in the\ncommunity functioning up to their capabilities.\nDuring the sixteen weeks of its operation, 457 patients were under follow-up\ncare, and of this number fifty-one had been discharged from care.\nThere are two treatment divisions in the After-care Unit. One is the resident\nteam, made up of the directing psychiatrist, a social worker, and a mental health\nnurse; the other is made up of six visiting teams from units of the Crease Clinic and\nProvincial Mental Hospital, each consisting of two doctors, one social worker, and\na psychiatric nurse. Each of these teams is responsible for the follow-up of patients\ndischarged from their unit areas and devotes one-half day per week to the clinic.\nPhysiotherapy\nThe Physiotherapy Department, under Mr. Borge Dahl, has had an active\ntreatment programme. A clinic has been opened in the East Lawn Building. One\nthousand seven hundred and thirty-three patients received a total of 16,257\ntreatments.\nA wide range of physiotherapeutic procedures are available\u2014hydrotherapy,\ninfra-red, short-wave diathermy, massage, exercises, ultraviolet light, wax baths, and\nfaradic-galvanic electrotherapy.\nIn addition to these, chiropody treatments were given to 742 patients.\nA nurse's aide assists with the work in this Department.\nDepartment of Radiology\nThis department, under the direction of Dr. J. M. Jackson, reports an improved\ndiagnostic service due to the acquisition of a modern mobile X-ray unit with special\npower outlets in both the operating-room and the surgical ward. A modern machine\nfor making rapid serial radiographs of the vascular system in the brain has improved\nthe service to the Neurosurgical Department.\nA tota of 10,847 patients was X-rayed, and 17,402 films were taken.\nMany specialized X-ray examinations have been completed for the Surgical\nand Neurosurgical Departments, and the demands for X-ray investigations in cases\nof internal medicine have increased considerably.\n crease clinic and provincial mental hospital i 63\nDepartment of Laboratories\nThis department, under the direction of Dr. G. A. Nicolson, reports increased\nactivity over the past year.\nThe total number of procedures performed is 58,328, an increase of 687 over\nthe previous year. This increase was fairly evenly distributed throughout the departments of chemistry, bacteriology, haematology, and histology. In chemistry there was\na significant increase in the number of kidney-function tests and urinary chromato-\ngrams performed. In bacteriology there was a sharp increase in the number of\ncoagulase tests performed, indicating an increasing incidence of haemolytic staphylococcus aureus infections. In haematology there was an increase in the number of\nblood sedimentation-rate tests due to the establishment of this procedure as a\nroutine admission test for all patients. There was also a marked increase in prothrombin time determinations, reflecting a widening interest in arteriosclerosis and\nits related complications. This was further demonstrated by a marked increase in\nthe number of electrocardiograms carried out. The histology department showed\nincreased activity resulting from an increase in the number of autopsies performed,\nwhich totalled 234, more than in any previous year for the Provincial Mental Health\nServices.  This produced an autopsy rate of 81 per cent, which is exceptionally high.\nThe technician training programme has produced three more successful candidates for certification by examination by the Canadian Society of Laboratory Technologists, and one other student has just completed a year of training and has thereby\nbecome eligible to take the examinations.\nPharmacy Department\nThe pharmacy, under the direction of Mr. K. Woolcock, continues to supply\nthe needs of the Mental Health Services. Services to out-patients have shown considerable expansion during the year. There is a general trend toward individual\nprescriptions for patients whether in or out of hospital.\nNew regulations to control certain drugs\u2014namely, barbiturates and amphetamines\u2014have been put into operation to meet the requirements of Federal legislation\nconcerning these drugs.\nThe Unit Pharmacy Committee meets regularly 'and continues to make recommendations for the improvement of the Pharmacy service.\nOptical Department\nMr. H. H. Woodbridge, optometrist in charge of the Optical Department, reports on the completion of another year of active service to our patients.\nDuring the year a total of 1,027 procedures was carried out, consisting of 529\nexaminations, 278 major repairs, and 220 minor repairs.\nDental Department\nThe Dental Department, under the direction of Dr. W. C. Cusack, has maintained its activities during the year.\nDr. Smithurst resigned on December 31, 1961, and was replaced by Dr. Hil-\nborn. Mr. Discher, dental technician, resigned in November, 1961, and was replaced by Mr. Watson.\nThe programme of services includes examination and treatment of patients in\nthe Dental Department, visits to wards for this purpose, and special extractions in\nthe operating-room as required.   There is a great demand for dentures, and a priority\n I 64 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\narrangement ensures that those in need receive them before discharge to a boarding\nhome or other community facility.\nDuring the year 4,548 patients were seen, and 1,188 examinations and 9,259\noperations were completed.\nSome modern equipment to supplement that in the operating-room has been\ninstalled.   A new high-speed drill has been accepted very favourably by the patients.\nChaplain\nRev. John F. O'Neil, E.D., B.A., L.T.A., the resident chaplain, has continued\nto provide valuable opportunities for worship for Protestant patients, and weekly\nservices are held in Pennington Hall. Additional services are held in the wards for\nthose unable to attend at Pennington Hall. Rev. F. Filer, Valleyview Hospital chaplain, provides a service for North Lawn patients.\nThe Roman Catholic chaplain, Rev. Father Freschette, O.F.M., resigned. Rev.\nWilliam S. Lacko, S.J., was appointed in his place and took up duty on May 1, 1961.\nSince that time a greatly expanded service has been provided. Mass is said weekly.\nVisits to the sick and dying are made at all times on request, and services at Hospital\nburials are provided. In addition, two afternoons each week are devoted to visiting\nthe various areas of the Crease Clinic and Provincial Mental Hospital so that patients\nmay talk with their chaplain.\nBusiness Administration\nQuite a large number of projects of varying scope were begun or completed\nduring the year.   The more noteworthy included the following:\u2014\n(1) A more systematic procedure for obtaining accurate daily census figures.\n(2) The commencement of operation of the central supply room.\n(3) The consolidation of the Dietary Department, such that dietary functions\nwould be performed by members of that department.\n(4) The introduction of orientation lectures for all new members joining the\nstaff.\n(5) The completion of a properly equipped barber-shop for the patients.\nThe year saw the commencement of construction on the new Industrial Therapy\nBuilding and the Telephone and Credit Union Building.\nClose co-operation has been maintained with the Public Works Department,\nfrom whom we have had every assistance.\nSuccess is being met in brightening the patients' areas, and to this end new\nfurniture, drapes, and brighter paint colours are being used whenever possible.\nThe general office took delivery of a posting-machine and transferred all patients' trust records from ledgers to machine cards.\nThe sum of $1,036,309.29 was collected in maintenance fees on behalf of our\npatients, and $172,671.08 was received for individual patients' comfort expenditures.\nThe amount expended by these patients was $162,233.27.\nPension applications submitted on behalf of patients totalled 227, of which\n150 were approved by March 31, 1962. Five hundred and twenty-eight staff requisitions were issued to cover hirings, promotions, and transfers.\nAudio-Visual Department\nDuring the year an extensive survey at the ward level was made of movies\nshown by this department. The object of this procedure was to show movies that\nwere more suitable and more likely to meet the tastes of the patients than had pre-\n CREASE CLINIC AND PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL I 65\nviously been the case.   The broad plan is to use a children and adult programme and\nthen divide the patients into these two broad categories.\nThe educational library of 16-mm. films is still very popular, and new films\nhave been added in order to keep up with demands. Physicians and supervisors\nhave been given instruction in the operation of the 16-mm. projector for the running\nof instructional films for staff members.\nBlack-and-white photography has been used extensively by the Public Works\nDepartment to illustrate different phases of their work. Clinical motion-picture\nfilms have been made in conjunction with research, and the Mental Health Centre\nhas borrowed a 16-mm. motion-picture camera in order to aid it in the production\nof a child-series movie.\nDuring the year the 35-mm. films at Pennington Hall were shown on 145 occasions to a total of 38,767 patients; in The Woodlands School they were shown 101\ntimes to 17,207 patients. The 16-mm. ward shows were presented at Essondale,\nRiverside, and Valleyview 323 times to 19,032 patients. Weekly 16-mm. shows\nwere presented at The Woodlands School, Allco Infirmary, Haney, Kamloops, and\nTranquille.\nIndustrial Therapy Department\nThe staff of this department has maintained a closer tie than previously with\nclinical groups and other patient therapy activities. This liaison has been stimulated\nin view of the construction of the new Industrial Therapy Building, which will place\nthe staff in a closer proximity to the treatment groups. This will make it possible\nto stress the therapeutic advantages to be derived from the work carried out in this\ndepartment.\nThe following are the significant statistics for the year:\u2014\nTotal patients employed in trade-shops during the year  2,510\nPatients progressed to hospital work level      110\nPatients discharged to community      182\nThe following figures indicate the productivity of this department:\u2014\nManufactured Repaired\nItems Items\nDry-goods Section  74,955                 \t\nMending Section            98,961\nTailoring Section  6,292 13,345\nMattress and Canvas Section  8,025 1,271\nPrinting Section  3,678,718                  \t\nMachine and Metalsmithing Section  1,877 868\nCabinet-shop   429 2,013\nUpholstery Section  1,066 943\nUniform Section  9,679 11,303\nShoe section  435 8,610\nLaundry\nDuring the year the volume of linen going through our department amounted to\n9,352,754 pounds and that of dry cleaning to 116,840 pounds. This increase represents approximately 1 pound of linen per patient-day, giving an average consumption\nfor Essondale, The Woodlands School, Valleyview, and Mental Health Centrfe of\n5.3 pounds per patient-day.\nDuring the year, on account of the increased volume of linen, a reorganization\nwas made of the shifts in the laundry such that there were introduced two shifts on a\nsix-day week basis rather than one shift on a seven-day week basis.   This reorganiza-\n I 66 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\ntion has enabled the department to increase its capacity and to maintain an improved\nservice to the Hospital.\nMedical Records\nDuring the year Miss A. Dingle was transferred to the Deputy Minister's office\nas Consultant in Medical Records and Statistics. Mrs. P. A. West was appointed in\nher place.\nAs the result of a study undertaken in the previous year, a more efficient method\nof collecting and distributing the daily census figures on patient movement was put\ninto operation. It is now possible to supply accurate census figures to the various\ndepartments on a daily basis and in a standardized form.\nThe work load in the admitting unit of the Provincial Mental Hospital has increased such that there has been an increase in admissions of 11.06 per cent and an\nincrease in discharge of 22.86 per cent in comparison with those of the previous year.\nDietary Department\nThe provision of meals to our large organization has been well carried out by\nmembers of the Dietary Department under Mrs. M. E. Marr, dietetics administrator.\nDuring the year the following volume of meals was served:\u2014\nTotal general-menu meals served to Crease Clinic and Essondale patients   3,311,398\nTotal special-diet meals served to Crease Clinic and Essondale\npatients       406,245\nTotal general-menu meals served to Crease Clinic and Essondale staff      125,458\nTotal special-diet meals served to Crease Clinic and Essondale\nstaff    6,345\nTotal of all meals served  3,849,446\nTotal raw-food cost per meal      $0.2716\nDuring the year there was a consolidation of this department whereby the\nnursing staff attached to the Dietary Department was replaced by dietary aides.\nThis has formed part of a programme whereby dietary staff become responsible for\nesentially dietary functions formerly done either by nursing staff or by nursing staff\nseconded to the Dietary Department. With the introduction of electric food-carts in\nseveral areas, and with the change-over of certain procedures, success is being met\nin providing an improved quality and variety of food for patients unable to go to\ndining-room areas.\nPlans are virtually completed for the renovation of the West Lawn kitchen and\ndining-room areas. This is a part of the continuing programme to modernize dietary\nfacilities in this hospital.\nVolunteer Service\nThe volunteer service, through its co-ordinator, Mr. G. Dodsworth, has been\nvery active and has done much excellent work for our patients. An average of 175\nvolunteers visited the Hospital at least once a week, and another fifty visited every\ntwo weeks or oftener. The total group has volunteered approximately 53,400 man-\nhours of work to patients.\nA new and welcome addition was a group of high-school students from New\nWestminster whose social club chose to volunteer for this work.\nAn important extension of the programme was the establishment of a regular\nvisting schedule for a volunteer from Nanaimo.    This volunteer visits most new\n CREASE CLINIC AND PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL I 67\nadmissions from the Nanaimo area and follows up when they return home by\ninteresting them in the special group operated by the local mental health association.\nThe apparel-shops have shown greatly increased activity; 3,761 patients visited\nthese shops and received 16,794 articles of clothing. In addition, a very large\nnumber of prizes were given out during the year, including Carnival Day. Two\nfashion shows were put on for the patients.\nThe Christmas gift programme was again successful, with every patient in the\nHospital receiving a gift.\nSeveral organizations have adopted wards and provide gifts. The most recent\nare the Lutheran Churches of Vancouver, the Vancouver Association of Insurance\nWomen, and the Alpha Beta Phi Sorority of Nelson, B.C. These organizations make\nmonthly contributions.\nTwo volunteers have assisted the Psychology Department with an experimental\nproject with long-term patients.\nCivil Defence\nThe Essondale Civil Defence Planning Committee remained active during the\nyear, and regular monthly meetings have been held.\nNew identification cards were issued to registered Civil Defence personnel in\naccordance with a block of numbers allotted to this Civil Defence unit.\nAt the request of the American Psychiatric Association, a report on Essondale\ncivil defence and hospital disaster planning was submitted. This was related to an\nincreasing interest in this subject on the part of mental hospitals in the United States.\nA survey of Hospital buildings has been carried out with a view to providing\ninformation on their relative value as a protection against blast and fallout. As a\nresult of the information obtained, a plan to move patients from upper floors to basements and other areas giving a high degree of protection which could be attained at\nshort notice has been evolved.\nAs in previous years, the incoming classes of psychiatric nursing students were\ngiven a four-hour orientation to civil defence and hospital disaster. Radio communication instruction courses have been given, and as a result 150 members of the staff\nhave obtained the restricted radio operator's licence of the department of Transport.\nThe unit has taken part in two National Civil Defence exercises, mainly communications.\nTwo senior nursing-staff members have attended courses of instruction at the\nCivil Defence College at Arnprior, Ont., and three other members have attended\nCivil Defence courses of instruction at Victoria.\n I 68 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nTREATMENT SERVICES\nM. O. Calverley, Acting Clinical Director\nThis report will be more meaningful if it is read in sequence with Dr. Tucker's\nin the 1960\/61 Annual Report.\nThe need and demand for psychiatric services in the Province continues to\nexpand. Though there is general agreement that these should be provided at the\ncommunity level, it appears likely that several years will pass before this is accomplished in any adequate measure. Meanwhile the pressure for diagnostic and\ntreatment services in the Crease Clinic and Provincial Mental Hospital mounts, as\nreflected by a 3.5-per-cent and 12.7-per-cent increase in admissions in these units\nrespectively in the past year. Though modern treatment techniques and enlightened\nattitudes toward early discharge have made it possible to cope with larger numbers\nof patients, and even reduce the resident population of chronically ill, these in themselves are only a part solution to the growing demands for psychiatric services in a\nrapidly expanding population. As it is also generally agreed that there should be\nno expansion of the physical facilities for general psychiatry in the Essondale area,\nthe alternative is to accelerate diagnosis and treatment by necessary increases in\nprofessional staff, who can later be shifted to community-based services, on a full-\nor part-time basis, as provision for such is made.\nIn keeping with this philosophy, an important development in the clinical services in the past year has been the launching of our after-care programme. After\nseveral years in the planning stages, this project became functional December 19,\n1961, at 445 West Thirteenth Avenue, Vancouver, and by March 31, 1962, had\nregistered 432 people for after-care. Dr. Robert W. Harrington, as Director of\nRehabilitation and After-care is in charge of this unit and has a resident staff consisting of a social worker, a mental health nurse, and a stenographer-receptionist.\nThey are assisted by treatment teams from each of the units at Essondale, who go\nin to conduct clinics each week, offering after-care to patients discharged from their\nunit who require such care, and are within commuting distance and cannot obtain it\nfrom other sources in the community. Such a treatment team consists of a senior\nand junior psychiatrist, a social worker, and a psychiatric nurse. This plan has the\nadvantage of providing a considerable degree of continuity of care in terms of personnel. It permits earlier discharge in some instances, and by sustaining that group\nof patients who previously had little or no follow-up care after leaving hospital, it\nis anticipated that the readmission rate will be lowered. Such after-care clinics are\ngood examples of the feasibility and advantages of staff dividing their time between\nthe institution and the community. If adequate provision is made for the expected\nrate of growth of the after-care programme, it will constitute a significant shift in\nmental-health care from Essondale to the community from which the patient comes\nand to which he returns after hospitalization, which usually will be a relatively brief\nepisode in the total course of his illness.\nOur half-way houses, \"Vista\" and \"Venture,\" also in Vancouver, are now\nunder the direction and guidance of the resident staff of the after-care unit. As was\nexpected, this closer identification with a treatment team is creating a more therapeutic atmosphere in these units. The number of beds in \" Vista\" was increased by\nfour to ten in November, 1961. A total of 113 patients used these rehabilitation\nfacilities during the year. The persisting difficulties in finding employment slows the\nmovement of patients into the community from half-way houses as it does from the\nhospital as well.\n CREASE CLINIC AND PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOSPITAL\nI 69\nOur consultant staff in all branches of medicine and surgery have rendered\nvaluable service to our patients throughout the year. They supervise and work\nclosely with our medical and surgical residents. Two infirmary wards previously\nlocated in the Centre Lawn Building have been moved to more suitable locations in\nthe North Lawn Building. In addition to improving infirmary ward care, this has\npermitted the renovation of D 2 and E 2, the wards vacated, which have since been\nreopened as the male and female admitting wards for the Provincial Mental Hospital.\nThese bright, relatively pleasant surroundings constitute a therapeutic atmosphere\nfor newly admitted patients.\nThe medical clinic planned for Essondale should do much to facilitate and\nfurther general medical and surgical care of our patients. The rising average age\nof those in the continued-treatment areas is resulting in a growing need for such\nservices. The increased amount of general nursing care that such cases require is\nmaking heavy demands upon our nursing services.\nAs anticipated, there has been an expansion of the special boarding-home care\nplan for partially disabled patients who are able to get along outside of hospital.\nA total of 104 were so placed last year, for a grand total of 184 since this plan went\ninto effect. Much of the work that has ensured the success of this project has been\ndone by our Social Service Department. Again it demonstrates the bridging of the\ngap between hospital and community in the provision of care.\nNew treatments have been limited to the selection and judicious use of the most\npromising of the psychotropic drugs, from the large numbers of such compounds\nreaching the market. Milieu and group activity therapies provide the common\ntreatment background upon which specific therapies, tailored to the individual\nrequirements of each patient and his illness, are superimposed. The therapeutic\ninfluence of trained staff continues to be the major tool for the treatment of psychiatric illness, and unfortunately the most difficult to provide in adequate quality and\nquantity. In this respect the contribution of community volunteer workers has\ncome to play a prominent part in treatment services, complementing the progressive\nefforts of the intramural therapeutic disciplines.\nThere is now a sufficient body of knowledge and treatment techniques available\nto make vast strides in coping with the problem of psychiatric illness, providing\nthe facilities and trained staff can be obtained to adequately apply these advances in\npsychiatric theory and practice.\n I 70\nMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nSTATISTICAL TABLES\nCREASE CLINIC\nTable

A. Kerwood, Medical Superintendent\nPATIENT POPULATION\nThe Woodlands School.\u2014On March 31, 1962, the total cases on register, including cases on probation, was 1,398. There were 1,352 cases in residence at The\nWoodlands School.\nThe Tranquille School.\u2014On March 31, 1962, there were 292 in residence at\nThe Tranquille School.\nADMISSIONS\nThere were 177 temporary admissions during the year; of these, fifty-two\nremained as permanent cases by certification. There were forty-four permanent\nadmissions by certification, making a total of 221 patients admitted during the year.\nTemporary admissions were extended beyond thirty days in 261 cases. Two hundred and twenty-five patients were transferred to The Tranquille School.\nSUMMER THIRTY-DAY ADMISSION PROGRAMME\nDuring June, July, and August, 1961, this programme, which utilizes beds\nvacated by children who go to their own homes for summer vacation, was again put\ninto operation.\nIt will be noted that the numbers are somewhat reduced from the previous year,\nbut this enabled admissions to be placed on appropriate wards, and thus avoided\ndislocation of ward organization, which had occurred to some extent previously.\nA total of ninety-three patients was given temporary admission, the majority\nfor one month, but several for one and a half or two months. The monthly rates\nwere: June, 43; July, 43; and August, 39; that is a total of 125 pupil-months for\n93 patients.\nIt should be recognized that this programme takes place at a time when there\nis normally some decrease in staff owing to holidays and when the academic school\nis closed. Thus it represents a considerable effort of organization on the part of all\nstaff, particularly on the bed bureau, nursing divisions, and recreational department.\nI am pleased to report that all staff have co-operated fully in making this added programme function, and that the Chief Personnel Officer and the Civil Service Commission have been most helpful in facilitating staff replacement and summer relief,\nwithout which the programme would have been very difficult to stage.\nAs I mentioned in my last year's report, there are many types of care which\ncan be made available for the retardate or may support his family and thus lessen\nthe demands for permanent residential care, and these alternates should be actively\npromulgated when possible. The modern residential hospital school should be\nutilized for a more selected case load with definite neuropsychiatric complications\nand in conjunction with adequate foster-home, hostel, boarding-home, and nursing-\nhome satellites. It is neither necessary nor desirable that patients who merely need\na protective environment with some supervision be placed in the relatively more\nexpensive and highly staffed residential hospital school.\nThe tendency today is rightly away from the concept of utilizing hospital-type\nsettings for residential and non-treatment types of care, and the developments out-\n THE WOODLANDS SCHOOL I 97\nlined above and in last year's report are vitally important if a larger number of\nretardates and their parents are to receive adequate and appropriate service.\nThere is a great deal of personal tragedy and unhappiness that will only be\nameliorated when comprehensive programmes for the care, training, and rehabilitation of all retardates and adequate service to their parents are provided. This can\nnever be given entirely from a centralized residential facility, but needs the widest\nco-operation from all agencies and services which exist, along with some development of specialized services for this large section of our growing population.\nIn this regard we are most happy to report a major development in policy with\nthe agreement between the Metropolitan Health Committee and The Woodlands\nSchool to work in close liaison in the Greater Vancouver area. The wealth of medical resources of this great organization is now available to us, and it is to be hoped\nthat progressive decentralization of The Woodlands School responsibility will take\nplace with the growing participation of local agencies and authorities.\nIn this context one must mention the very valuable work of the Registry of\nHandicapped Persons undertaken and kept up to date by the Division of Vital Statistics. It would appear to be most useful if registration of the mentally handicapped\nwere ultimately to become a statutory responsibility, as thus the extent of the problem\nin each community would be known and long-term and effective planning would be\nmore easily accomplished.\nIt frequently happens at the moment that cases spring to attention only when\nsome crisis (death of a parent, serious illness, etc.) occurs, and also that demands\nfor admission are made when all that is needed may be the development of a special\nschool class, a day-nursery, occupation centre, etc. It would appear to be most\nuseful for a survey of all known cases to be made with an indication of the special\nservices needed in order that they be effectively dealt with, where possible, in their\nown homes or nearby.\nThe developments currently being undertaken by the education authorities and\nby the Association for Retarded Children with governmental co-operation would\nappear to be very promising in this regard. In the meantime, The Woodlands School\nhas to try to utilize available beds as far as possible.\nMany cases have now been processed through the Thirty-day Admission Programme. This has meant in many instances that an extension has been necessary\nin order that complete clinical and other investigations can be carried out. At this\ndate the majority of applicants for admission have been evaluated and the need for\nadmission can be better appraised at the same time the criteria for eventual admission are becoming better clarified.\nIn general, it can be said that the severely retarded child will be admitted at\nabout the age of 7 to 9 years. There will, of course, be great individual variation,\ndepending upon various weighting factors on our rating scale (hyperactivity, blindness, parental health, etc.). The moderately retarded may be given permanent\nadmission at about 15 to 18 years of age, depending upon the social adjustment.\nIn the case of the mildly retarded, admissions may not be possible whilst the parents\nare alive unless the individual's lack of adequate training and supervision result in\nquite unacceptable social behaviour.\nHOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT\nThe Hospital Administrator reports the following highlights of the year:\u2014\n(1) The approval by the Civil Service Commission of our line organizational\nchart and the reorganization of the business and medical administrative\nareas of the School.\n I 98 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\n(2) The approval of the positions of Executive Housekeeper and Instructor\nof Trades and Maintenance.\n(3) The letting of the contract and the commencement of the conversion of\nNurses' Home 2 into administration and clinical offices and the placement\ntherein of the two new laboratories and the beautician's department.\n(4) The reclassification of his position from Unit Business Manager to Hospital Administrator 1.\n(5) The appointment of the Co-ordinator of Volunteer Services.\n(6) The establishment of an E.E.G. machine in the Fraser View Building,\nwhich has meant a great reduction of transportation difficulties.\n(7) The establishment of an additional night shift in the central laundry location at Essondale, which has provided much-needed additional services\nto the wards and reduced problems at the ward level.\n(8) The general improvement noted in the operation of the Public Works\nDepartment.\nDietary\nThe night-school class in quantity cookery completed its two-year course in\nMarch, 1962. Four members of the Dietary Department were successful in the\ncourse. One cook completed a course in diet therapy. Three cooks from The\nWoodlands School enrolled in the University of British Columbia Extension Department course in kitchen management. This brings to eight the number of our cooks\nwho have taken this course.\nPharmacy\nThe operations of the pharmacy during the year have been efficiently carried\nout under the direction of the pharmacist, Mr. C. Wells. A Stockman 3, Mr. E.\nRoach, was appointed to the pharmacy staff on April 15, 1961. This appointment\nhas lessened the burden on the pharmacist and allowed an increase in the standards\nof service from this area.\nThe Pharmacy Committee, comprising Dr. Tischler, Clinical Director, as Chairman, Mr. Booth, Mr. Wells, Miss Curie, and Mr. Milne, has met monthly to discuss\npharmaceutical items, pharmacy problems and requirements.\nCentral Supply\nThe Central Supply Department has continued to facilitate the controls that\nhave been established over supplies and equipment. All equipment to the institution\nis routed through this area and requisitions checked and cleared.\nHousekeeping\nThe Housekeeping Department has continued to maintain reasonable care of\nthe public areas of the School. We are very pleased at the approval of the Civil\nService Commission of our proposed housekeeping organization and of the approval\nof the Executive Housekeeper position. We expect to see this department expanded\nand the services greatly improved during the next year.\nTransportation\nThe transport needs of the School have been met efficiently by our Transport\nDivision under the head of Mr. W. Wilson. The demands on the Transport Division\nhave been great, especially with the introduction of scheduled runs to and from\nEssondale for working patients.\n THE WOODLANDS SCHOOL I 99\nIndustrial Therapy\nThe Industrial Therapy Division consists of mending and sewing departments,\nmetal repair section, shoe-shop, and upholstery-shop. Each of these divisions has\nbeen active during the year. The orthopaedic-shoe maker has taken on the responsibility of repairing and fabricating all orthopaedic shoes and appliances for Essondale\nas well as his own duties at the School.\nSecurity\nThe security staff comprises two full-time and one part-time commissionaires.\nThe security officers have assisted management of the School in reducing petty thefts,\nassisted with parking on special occasions, checking lights, fire-watches, securing\ndoors, etc.\nMedical Records\nDuring the year Miss E. Henshaw, supervisor of this department, has been\ninvolved in improving methods related to diagnostic clinics and discharge procedures.\nControl systems have been set up for (1) standard procedure for routine notes,\n(2) diagnostic clinic reports to outside physicians and health units, and (3) transfer\nof patients to Crease Clinic operating-room.\nA policy manual has been compiled.\nA medical information letter is prepared on all patients who have been seen\nat diagnostic clinic and those discharged on probation, and sent to the medical\npractitioner in charge of the case, the Medical Health Officer, and the Registry for\nHandicapped Children.\nDepartment of Public Works\nMajor projects completed by the Public Works Department during the 1961\/62\nfiscal year are as follows:\u2014\n(1) Sidewalks and curbing from the two main entrances.\n(2) Two playing-field toilets completed.\n(3) Ramps   installed  for  additional  toilet  facilities  from  airing-court  to\nbuildings.\n(4) Additional toilet facilities installed in Fraser Glen and Fraser View wards.\n(5) Repairs to drainage-tiles and waterproofing of complete north wall of\nauditorium building.\n(6) Installed ramps and double doors off the back wall of Fraser View as\nrequested by the Fire Marshal.\n(7) New drain-pipe installed on the Fraser View Building.\n(8) Rebuilt kettle yard in the old cafeteria building.\n(9) Additional parking at the Administration Building provided.\n(10) Painted and provided additional lighting in tunnel.\nDEPARTMENT OF DENTISTRY\nDuring the year, as well as carrying out routine dental care, the department\nsurveyed 1,158 patients for periodontal conditions. Two hundred and eighty-eight\ntubes of tooth-paste in lieu of the usual tooth-powder were prepared in an effort to\nsimplify and improve dental care on the wards.   Summary of work is as follows:\u2014\nNumber of patients  1,476\nExaminations      346\nProphylaxis and scaling      351\n I 100 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nFillings  1,506\nDentures   36\nDentures repaired and relined  35\nExtractions   669\nX-rays   73\nPeriodontal treatments   165\nMiscellaneous treatments  371\nPatients treated on wards  38\nEDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT\nClass changes included time in occupational therapy and in the recreation\ndepartment for a fairly large group of pupils. This allowed teaching time for\ntwenty-three imbeciles on Ward 7 on a half-day basis, remedial reading, speech\ncorrection, lipreading, and Braille tuition during these hours.\nIn co-operation with the male nursing office and the industrial-therapy staff,\nall the boys in the opportunity classes on a half-day basis were placed in the shops\nduring the remainder of the day. The teacher maintained contact and attempted to\nwork out in the classroom some of the problems that arose in shop work.\nOther inaugurations included a fashion show in which the domestic science\nclasses modelled the clothing they had made during the year and prepared and served\nrefreshments to the invited guests. Entertainment was provided by the various\nschool clubs. The domestic science classes, in co-operation with Riverdale, undertook shirt mending and ironing. The biggest change of the year was the complete\nrenovation of the domestic science room undertaken by Mr. Mercer, the industrial\narts instructor, and the senior boys during July. An attempt was made on the part\nof the instructor to make the work as similar to a day's work in ordinary life as\npossible. Boys were encouraged to use power-tools and modern methods. Fitting,\nmeasuring, squaring, and cutting exceeded expectations for accuracy. Cutting sink\nopenings, gluing and fitting of the Arborite was very good, as was hardware installation and finishing. A teacher's desk, 6 by 3 feet, with twenty-seven sliding trays\nand five drawers, was also constructed. A demonstration table, with drop-leaves,\nwas also built, and fitted cupboards for sewing equipment. The purchase of three\nnew stoves and a refrigerator gives us now a modern kitchen in which the girls and\nboys can receive a better training in a shorter time. For the first time in the history\nof the School, domestic science is being taught for a full day, seventy-two pupils,\nboth boys and girls, participating in nine classes.\nThe boy's choir and band remained popular and sang and played in the community on fifteen different occasions. After-school clubs continued to be a source\nof pleasure to the pupils and profitable to us. The Woodwork Club built cupboards\nfor the school classrooms and a storage unit for the school gymnasium for projection\nequipment.\nCartoon showings were inaugurated for those unable to benefit from longer\nand more advanced film runs. These are currently running to an audience of nearly\n300 and are shown in nine different locations.\nStaff spoke at the usual number of P.-T.A. and other meetings.\nMiss Ellison, children's librarian at the New Westminster Public Library, sorted\nour books and has offered to come in one day a week for cataloguing.\nFor the first time, youngsters were taken into the community to participate in\nHallowe'en \" handouts.\"\n THE WOODLANDS SCHOOL I 101\nOver 1,200 visitors were escorted through the school last year. Two hundred\nand fifty-nine pupils attended classes during the year; five of these were day pupils\nand a number of T.D.As.\n\" Playing to Learn \" Classes\nThe number of pupils in regular attendance is seventy-two, all from Ward 8.\nThese pupils attend in groups of twelve for one-hour periods of tuition on regular\nschedule, and when other activities have been cancelled, many periods have been\nfilled in with two groups which can be managed with the visual aid of slides or\neducational moving film. This has now become a regular feature on Friday, giving\nthe pupils longer periods off the ward.\nThe pupils have been taken out on many field-trips to the Queen's Park\nchildren's zoo, to Stanley Park, fishing trips, visits to the fire-hall, to birthday parties\nat parents' homes, and on week-end camping trips to Crescent Beach last summer.\nWith these living experiences, the children have learned much and are developing\nlines of communication as their vocabulary develops.\nThe additional programmes of the self-care recreational activities and ocupa-\ntional-therapy classes conducted in this area now with resulting adjustments give\nfour hours of various tuition to the groups, and better behaviour has made it possible\nto also include these pupils in much of the entertainment supplied by other areas.\nLABORATORY\nThe laboratory has had a capacity year, under the capable management of Miss\nBunting and the supervision of Dr. Nicholson.\nA start has been made in the taking, staining, and examination of Buccal smears\nfor sex chromatin. The acquisition of the new Zeiss microscope under Federal\nHealth Grant has helped the work of this department. It will be a great step forward\nwhen the laboratory moves from its present quarters to the new site in the Administration Building.\nTotal number of tests carried out during the year was 19,472.\nMEDICAL STAFF\nI wish to report that a very high level of medical skill is exhibited by the physicians at The Woodlands School in both diagnosis of the disorders associated with\nmental retardation and with the diagnosis of intercurrent diseases to which these\npatients are subject. I feel that we have an admirable medical team, and I would like\nto take this opportunity of thanking them.\nWe are also much indebted to our many medical colleagues who have given us\nadmirable consultative service, and to those physicians in the Public Health Services\nand private practice who have advised us in matters relating to admission and have\nbeen of such help to parents in many ways. We were very pleased to see various\nmedical practitioners attend intake conferences and give us their reports on their\npatients.\nWe feel that the full reports that we sent to the family physicians on all new\ncases are appreciated and are useful to them. The family physician is in a crucial\nposition to help parents in understanding their retarded children in his management.\nNURSING SERVICES\nI am pleased to report that the two nursing divisions have developed an increasing concept of programming for the patients under their care and show an enthusi-\n I 102 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nastic willingness to contribute a great deal more than custodial care. My thanks go\nto all their members, who have made life on the wards of the School a much more\nstimulating and happy experience for all our patients. Kind, intelligent, and active\nward staff are the basic essential of any residential programme, and I am most happy\nthat at Woodlands there is general acceptance of this view-point. Our next major\nchallenge lies in the activation of the severely retarded population, and in the development of techniques for their training in this programme I feel that I can count\nupon the whole-hearted support of the nursing division.\nFemale Nursing Division\nEducation Programmes\n1. Psychiatric Students.\u2014One hundred and forty-five student psychiatric nurses\nreceived training at The Woodlands School (30 male and 115 female).\n2. Post-basic Clinical Programme for Registered Nurses in Psychiatric Nursing.\n\u2014The post-basic clinical teaching programme in psychiatric nursing for the registered nurses has been established at the Education Centre, Essondale, since 1960.\nIn July, 1961, five registered nurses affiliated for one week of their six-month\ncourse at The Woodlands School. One of these nurses has been employed at The\nWoodlands School since completion of her course. In January, 1962, ten registered\nnurses affiliated at The Woodlands School for one week.\n3. In-service Education Programme for Psychiatric Graduate Nurses.\u2014An in-\nservice programme was started at The Woodlands School on January 24, 1962, for\npsychiatric nurses. This is our first effort and began in a small way. The course of\nlectures, discussions, and films was held every Wednesday from January 24, 1962,\nto April 11, 1962, inclusive.\nMrs. K. Fritz, psychiatric aide instructor, has organized an additional in-service\nprogramme for psychiatric aides. This consists of review of nursing procedures,\nfilms, discussions on new areas that have developed within the institution, etc.\n4. Visiting Nurses.\u2014Student nurses from the various general hospitals in\nBritish Columbia spend a three-month affiliation period in psychiatric nursing at\nEssondale. During this period they spend two afternoons at The Woodlands School.\nThere is an average of twenty-five nurses visiting every six weeks.\nApproximately six student nurses continue to visit The Woodlands School each\nmonth from the Royal Columbian Hospital, New Westminster. This is part of a\ntwo-week leadership programme.\nGroups of public health nurses from the University of British Columbia and\npsychiatric and registered nurses from Essondale tour The Woodlands School on\nvarious occasions.\nReorganization of Wards\nWard 2, a 78-bed ward, was exchanged with men's division for A Ward, 36\nbeds.   A Ward was opened July 21, 1961, for idiot-level pupils.\nG Ward was changed from young adult group (female) to younger schoolgirls.\nWard 9 was changed from active schoolgirls' ward to cerebral palsied pupils,\nboth sexes. This took place on November 29, 1961, thus making Fraser View\nBuilding a hospital unit.\nWard 14 was changed from a partial bed-care area to a completely active\nkindergarten group, with seventy-three children. This is the only non-hospital ward\nin the Fraser View Building.\n THE WOODLANDS SCHOOL I 103\nTransfer of Pupils to Tranquille from The Woodlands School\nWe have transferred 117 pupils (female) from The Woodlands School to\nTranquille, but four were later returned.\nAddition to Fourth Shift in Nursing Division\nIn July, 1961, a portion of the staff on 3 to 11 p.m. shift were moved ahead\nto facilitate the very heavy period from 12 noon to 3.10 p.m. on small children's\nwards. This shift was added to four wards in the Fraser View Building\u2014namely,\nWards 11, 12, 13, and 14\u2014by September, 1961. Improved patient care and\nsupervision has resulted.\nEscort and Errand Service\nThis service was instituted in October, 1961. Two psychiatric aides were\nchosen to carry out this service. This has been very beneficial to ward staff. Previously, wards were constantly being disrupted by staff being sent to various areas\neither with patients or on errands. This service has decreased the necessity of the\nstaff leaving wards.\nRecreation\nWe have had many excellent recreational activities for the pupils during the\npast year. A committee is presently organizing groups of pupils for camping periods\nduring the summer months. These pupils will be accompanied by members of the\nnursing staff.\nSummary\nWe feel that the nursing division has improved considerably in both quantity\nand quality of service to patients during the past year. This could not have been\naccomplished without the co-operation of the entire nursing division and allied departments.\nMen's Nursing Division\nStaff movements in this year have shown twenty-eight resignations, four transfers to other departments, and two retirements.\nWard 6 pupils were transferred to Ward 2, which we received from the department of female nursing. Ward A and B pupils were then transferred to Ward 6,\nWard A was given over to the department of female nursing, and Ward B was reopened as a new ward for severely retarded junior boys. Since the final change as\nof last November, the wards have all become well established and have developed\nprogrammes in diversified or recreational activities.\nWard 8, for the junior moderately retarded pupils, has now been developed\ninto a good group system of pupil supervision and activities. The activities and\npupil development have been increased, with the additional areas in tuition covering\nself-care, recreation, and occupational-therapy activities.\nAt this time we have no pupils confined entirely to the ward, with the exception\nof the bed cases on Ward C. A large group of these Ward C spastic pupils are up\nand dressed for regular exercise periods within the ward, and a number more are\nmoved outside for airings when the weather is nice. The other more active groups\nof severely retarded are now attending picture shows, concerts, parties, and daily\nactivities in the auditorium, which includes swimming for several groups.\nThe Cubs and Scouts have had an active year up to the last few months. We\nare at present experiencing some difficulty in adjusting times favourable to the\nleaders, but hope to effect adjustments so these activities will be back on weekly\n I  104 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nschedules again. We also require a much more active committee who will lend\ntheir support to the leaders and clear the way to further community participation\nby those two groups.\nOCCUPATIONAL THERAPY\nHandicraft Section\nTreatment in the Occupational Therapy Department on a monthly basis now\ntotals 2,119. This is more than double the monthly treatments carried out last year.\nNumber of patients attending occupational therapy daily, 135; number of patients\ntreated on the ward weekly, 85.\nA great deal of reorganizing was done in July in order to keep up with the ward\nchanges which were taking place at this time. A group of our boys took on the project of modernizing the department. Cupboards, tables, and chairs were painted;\nfurniture was remodelled; and the results were a much more attractive occupational-therapy room.\nCEREBRAL PALSY OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY DEPARTMENT\nThe therapist for this department was absent on four months' special educational leave until early June, 1961, when she returned with the degree of Bachelor\nof Science in Occupational Therapy. After three weeks' annual vacation, during\nwhich she visited several occupational-therapy departments in cerebral palsy centres\nin California and the physical-therapy unit at Stanford University in order to gain\nfirst-hand information on current trends in treatment, the therapist returned, and\na fresh programme for the department was planned with the help of Dr. Tischler,\nDirector of the Cerebral Palsy Unit, and Dr. Pinkerton, consultant in cerebral palsy.\nIn the following eight months, 729 treatments were given, of which 576 were\ngroup craft activities given in the wards (430 female, 146 male) and 153 were\nspecific individual treatments based on promoting neurological development and\nencouraging self-help skills (61 female, 182 male). The reason for the greater\nnumber of boys' individual treatments is because the male handicapped ward is\nnearer the department, and there are consequently fewer transportation difficulties.\nMore girls have been given group craft activity because larger classes could be carried owing to the familiarity of patients to this type of programme.\nThroughout the year we have had monthly cerebral palsy clinics with Dr.\nPinkerton as consulting specialist, and much help has been offered by Dr. Tischler\nas the Director of the Cerebral Palsy Unit.\nPHYSIOTHERAPY DEPARTMENT\nThe following treatments were given in this department during the year:\nMale   3,138\nFemale   2,383\nTotal  5,521\nThese treatments include massage, electrotherapy, hydrotherapy, and exercises.\nUnfortunately both physiotherapists were off during the year with major surgery,\nleaving only eight months in which two physiotherapists were operating at one time.\nDr. Pinkerton has visited regularly each month since January, 1961, in an\nadvisory capacity, and his suggestions regarding patient treatment have helped\ngreatly. During the last year Dr. Outerbridge has seen forty-seven patients and\nperformed surgery on ten of these.   The rest have had shoe corrections or braces.\n THE WOODLANDS SCHOOL I 105\nPSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT\nThe function of a psychologist in a mental-deficiency unit is unique. The\nusual areas of interest to a psychologist are available, but the application of known\npsychological principles and techniques varies somewhat and must be adapted to\nthis selected population. As such, on-the-job training becomes extremely important,\nparticularly as the psychological aspects of retardation are not included in the ordinary postgraduate psychology curriculum.\nAt intervals of approximately three months, three different people have been\nstarted in the department. In May Miss Haltalin, student, joined the staff; in\nAugust, Mr. Coles; and finally in December, Mrs. Flackett on a part-time basis.\nOver a period of time the services of these people have been valuable, but it must\nbe recognized that much time has been spent on orientation and training of new staff.\nUnfortunately this was also rendered more difficult by the resignation of Mr.\nJohn Nuttall, head of the department. Mr. Nuttall left behind a most impressive\nrecord of work and initiated the expansion of the department in lines other than\nroutine testing.\nThe statistical breakdown of work for the year compares favourably with last\nyear's output. A slight decrease in number of reports occurs because verbal report-\nings for the year were not recorded. Under miscellaneous duties it can be seen that,\nas in previous years, the Psychology Department has been involved in areas other\nthan straight psychological assessments. Considerable time has been spent in rehabilitative programming, assisting on tours, and lectures to the student nurses.\nRADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT\nThe following is a tabulation of the work performed in this department in the\ntwelve-month period ended March 31, 1962:\u2014\nChests X-rayed  2,205\nSkulls   255\nExtremities   336\nAbdomens   19\nShoulders   11\nPelvis   16\nSpines X-rayed   3 7\nMastoids   9\nNoses   11\nI.V.P.s   9\nGall-bladders   5\nRibs   9\nNasal sinuses   8\nTotal  2,930\nRECREATIONAL THERAPY DEPARTMENT\nThe Recreation Department has tried to provide a variety of recreational\nexperiences which offer diversion, training, and education within the limitations\nof the pupils. Although all objectives were not reached, the support and co-operation given by the staff members, who are becoming increasingly aware of the immediate values of recreation for the retarded child, were most welcome.\n5\n I  106 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nNoteworthy in this regard was the pilot project on camping. Fifty-two children\nattended ten days' sessions at Crescent Beach and Gibsons Landing with recreation\nstaff, who assisted camp directors as leaders and advisers.\nThe introduction of a carnival theme to the annual sports day allowed children\nand visitors to enjoy a full day of parades, outdoor stage entertainment, merry-go-\nrounds, plus all the elements that contribute to the fanciful atmosphere of a fair.\nClasses in craft work and painting for fun, as well as roller-skating, were all\nnew aspects of the programme.\nThe following were some highlights of the year's activities which were additional\nto the regular activation classes: Music groups (singing, chime band, rhythm band),\nsocials and dances, mass entertainments (variety concerts, band concerts, talent\nshows), and swimming.\nSOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT\nPre-admission and Admission\nDuring the year the pressures for admission have required that an increasing\nproportion of our service be allotted to families of children on the waiting-list and\nto concerned public and private agencies. By the end of the year, at least 80 per\ncent of our services were directed to this area.\nA real effort has been made to encourage community public and private welfare agencies to extend more of their services to families, but these groups in turn,\nhave requested more service from this department to better enable them to work in\na field which they consider a highly specialized one. As community services to\nretardates and their families develop, it is hoped that we can withdraw to some\nextent from pre-admission work.\nThe following are pre-admission and admission statistics for the fiscal year:\u2014\nCases active during fiscal year      471\nOrientations         55\nHome visits      363\nOffice interviews       146\nCollateral interviews      500\nConsultations with institutional staff  1,517\nDiagnostic clinics        189\nThere were many hours spent on correspondence and telephone calls.\nInstitutional Service and Rehabilitation\nDuring the year there was a revision of service within the institution so that\nmore pupils would benefit from the time available. Casework service to pupils\nwith a view to preparing them for community placement was discontinued in November. The unhappy experiences of the few young adults who were placed in the community (most of whom returned to our institution or others) indicated the need for\nsupervised group-living accommodation, which is not available.\nSo that individual pupils with special needs are not neglected, an interdisciplinary review board chaired by the supervisor of the Social Service Department meets\nweekly to review the situation of pupils on the \" educable wards \" and to recommend\non transfers, probations, and discharges. Short-term casework service is provided\nto pupils referred by the review board when staff time has been available. Statistics\nfor the fiscal year are as follows:\u2014\n THE WOODLANDS SCHOOL I 107\nNumber of pupils interviewed      191\nNumber of interviews with pupils  1,717\nNumber of interviews with family and friends  1,113\nIn January a group discussion programme commenced on two male wards.\nThe nursing staff who lead the groups meet regularly with medical and social staff\nto evaluate the progress. The skill and interest of the group leaders have contributed\ngreatly to the success of this programme.\nThe summer employment programme received the whole-hearted support of\nthe administration, medical, nursing, and school staff. Seventy-four boys and girls\nwere employed in the strawberry and bean fields, and their net earnings amounted\nto $1,372.20. The therapeutic value of this satisfactory work experience cannot\nbe overestimated.\nThe Social Service Department was also actively engaged in planning the first\nsummer camping experience for the pupils. Several pupils attended various church\ncamps, and in September twenty-four young adults spent ten days at Camp Alexandra.   The camping proved a most happy experience.\nThe committee on religion was reactivated in January under the chairmanship\nof the supervisor of the Social Service Department to assist the part-time chaplains\nin the extension of religious education and services.\nCO-ORDINATOR OF VOLUNTEER SERVICES\nOn October 20, 1961, the position of Co-ordinator of Volunteer Services was\nfilled by Mr. Des Hoban. Since his appointment the services of the Provincial\nAuxiliary and other citizens and groups have been much more effectively utilized.\nThe five most important areas of service are as follows:\u2014\nThe Apparel-shop.\u2014An average of 700 articles of clothing is distributed each\nmonth of the year.\nTransportation.\u2014Pupils have been driven to and picked up from aeroplanes,\nbuses, and trains, also special-treatment clinics. Special bus tours have been\narranged, taking pupils to Stanley Park, to beaches for picnics, and to the Pacific\nNational Exhibition. At Christmas, through the good offices of the Street Railway-\nmen's Union and Dr. Gordon Shrum, eight B.C. Hydro buses took over 300 pupils\nfor a two-hour tour of the Christmas decoration lights.\nParties.\u2014Nine parties are held on wards at The Woodlands School every\nmonth. In addition, volunteers have prepared refreshments and helped conduct\nmany parties organized by the Recreation Department throughout the year.\nSupplying Materials and Equipment.\u2014Through the volunteers' working committee, the Provincial Auxiliary to The Woodlands School and The Tranquille\nSchool, certain funds are made available for the purchase of colouring-books,\ncrayons, playballs, painting by numbers kits, Christmas decorations, gramophone\nrecords, and other expendable items. Special donations at Christmas-time made\nit possible for every pupil to receive at least one present.\nAuxiliary Canteen and Sheltered Workshop.\u2014The Provincial Auxiliary is\nsupplying funds for the operation of a canteen in the recreation centre. This canteen takes care of all orders sent from the wards and, in addition, is open for general\ntrade three days per week. This gives the pupils an opportunity to make small\npurchases and to learn something about the value of money.\n I 108 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nThe Auxiliary is also supplying funds to purchase materials for a variety of\nsheltered workshop projects\u2014(a) birthday-cake making at the lodge; {b) rug-\nweaving and basketry at Riverdale; (c) five-piece plywood rocking-horse, key-chain,\ncopperwork and leather manufactures on Fraser Glen; (d) hooking rugs on Ward 6.\nThe Auxiliary has accepted responsibility for marketing these products, either directly or through community contacts. Proceeds are distributed fairly between the\npurchase of additional materials and the payment of wages to the pupils doing\nthe work.\nProvincial Auxiliary to The Woodlands School and\nThe Tranquille School\nThis working committee performed an excellent service for the benefit of all\nresidents at The Woodlands School and The Tranquille School in the following\nways:\u2014\n(1) Provided liaison between The Woodlands School and the Association for\nRetarded Children of British Columbia.\n(2) Provided funds for special projects; e.g., \" Home for Christmas Train\nLift\" between The Woodlands School and The Tranquille School involving the transportation of forty-four pupils.\n(3) Provided funds for canteen and sheltered workshop.\n(4) Wrote letters of thanks to donors for unsolicited gifts.\n(5) Financed the upkeep of clubroom facilities in New Westminster for pupils\nwith down-town parole.\n(6) Provided funds for party supplies, colouring-books, crayons, and all the\nother expendable items always needed on wards.\n(7) Financed the whole year's birthday-cake programme.\n(8) Kept the Medical Superintendent informed of their activities.\nTHE TRANQUILLE SCHOOL\nPopulation\nMale Female\nApril 1,1961  147 April 1, 1961     26\nMarch 31, 1962  153 March 31, 1962  139\nPatient Movement\nMale\nSix patients were returned to The Woodlands School, four of these for medical\nreasons and two were The Woodlands School's patients who had been sent here for\nsummer months (guests). Twelve patients were received from The Woodlands\nSchool at various times.\nFemale\nFour patients were returned to The Woodlands School for medical attention or\nbehaviour problems. One hundred and seventeen patients were received from The\nWoodlands School at various times. Large transfers of patients were moved by bus\nin the usual manner.\n the woodlands school\nPatient Statistics\nI 109\nMale and female population by age-groups, intellectual status, and physical\nhandicap are as follows:\u2014\nAge-group (Years)\nPhysically\nHandicapped\nI.Q.

However, the need for our own physician is very evident\nas much staff time and a vehicle are used to transport patients to and from clinics,\ndentist, opticians, etc.\nDental Attention\nMost of our dental service was supplied by Dr. Nabata. In all, twenty-three\nmale and sixteen female patients visited the dentist for extractions, fillings, examinations, service to dentures, etc. The co-operation of the local dentist has been very\ngood, but the demands for dental service are such that the local dentists have advised\nthat they feel they will not be able to continue to provide us with services, other than\nemergency services, and that we might be well advised to make other arrangements.\nOptical Service\nThis service continues to be supplied by Dr. Bennett, and the arrangements are\nquite satisfactory. In all, four male and nine female patients were referred to the\noptometrist. Imperial Optical Company Limited in Kamloops continue to give\nexcellent service.\nX-ray Services\nAll patients were X-rayed by the travelling X-ray clinic on July 3rd. Arrangements should be made to have this done this year. Four male and six female patients\nreceived large chest X-rays, as per Tuberculosis Control.\nPharmacy\nPharmacy supplies are requisitioned from the Provincial Mental Hospital\npharmacy stores through The Woodlands School. The service has been good. During the year we received further advice and guidance as to the requisitioning of sup-\n I  110 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT, 1961\/62\nplies from the medical staff at The Woodlands School, and this has proved to be\nmost helpful.   Controls as necessary are in effect for drugs containing narcotics.\nPatient Employment\nAt the time of writing, sixty-six male and forty-two female patients are employed on a continuous basis in various areas, including the farm and public works,\noff the wards under the supervision of staff other than nursing. Seven female patients are employed on a part-time basis off the ward. Twenty-four male and ten\nfemale patients are employed on various tasks off the ward under the supervision of\nthree psychiatric aides (two male and one female). Fifteen male and eight female\npatients are employed as ward-workers. All patients take part in recreational-\ntherapy and occupational-therapy programmes on and off the ward in keeping with\ntheir abilities and need for a diversionary programme.\nLaundry\nThe Tranquille laundry processed 342,595 pounds of linen and clothing made\nup as follows: Tranquille School, 276,680 pounds; Provincial Home, 50,160\npounds; Provincial Gaol, 15,755 pounds; and Forest Service, 3,940 blankets.\nThis year the laundry was operated with a paid staff of six, an increase of one\nover the previous year, and a staff of twenty-five male and female working patients,\nan increase of thirteen over the previous year. The boy and girl patients are adapting themselves very well to this type of work.\nChaplaincy\nProtestant\nThe past year has been a pleasant and developing experience for both men\ninvolved in the Protestant chaplaincy for the patients at The Tranquille School.\nBoth the excellent co-operation of the staff and the response of the patients have\nmade this possible.\nRoman Catholic\nOn Sunday afternoons for approximately 1 to 1 Vk hours a workshop-type service is held at Tranquille for the boys and girls by Bishop Harrington, assisted by\none or two of the sisters from St. Ann's Academy. On special occasions they are\ntaken to the North Kamloops church for services. The bishop also arranges for\nspecial outings, picnics, etc., on occasion. The regular attention is paid to the matter\nof baptisms, confirmations, and confessions.\nHandicraft\nFemale\nWith the arrival of girls in April, classes were divided between boys and girls\nuntil the arrival of the male handicraft instructor in September. In October all the\nboys were turned over to the male instructor and classes in this area set up for female\npatients only. The entire female population is accommodated into classes. Each\ngirl attends two classes per week, with Wednesday afternoon set aside for special\nprojects.   Monday morning is left open for staff meetings.\nMale\nThis area did not come into operation until late October and was not fully\noperative until January, when the equipment and supplies of material arrived.   Prior\n THE WOODLANDS SCHOOL\nI 111\nto December the main project was the construction of Christmas displays for the\nSchool grounds. These were a complete success and won for the School the award\nfor the best-decorated institution.\nRecreation\nPatient participation was active in floor hockey, softball, beach clean-up, camping, swimming, skating, gymnastics, corn and wiener roasts, basketball, square\ndances, etc. Many forms of entertainment were attended as off the grounds as on;\ne.g., Gayland shows, wrestling, ice carnivals, hockey games, basketball games, etc.\n I  112\nMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT, 1961\/62\nSTATISTICAL TABLES\nTHE WOODLANDS SCHOOL\nTable 1.\u2014Movement of Population, The Woodlands School, New Westminster, April 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nMale\nFemale\nTotal\n758\n12\n640\n11\n1,398\n23\nTotal as at April 1,1961 ,\t\n770\n651\n1,421\nAdmissions\u2014\n60\n65\n8\n2\n52\n37\n4\n7\n112\nReadmissions to the same institution\t\nTransfers from Tranquille School \u2014\t\n102\n12\n9\n135\n100\n235\n905\n751\n1,656\nSeparations\u2014\n15\n61\n11\n14\n1\n12\n8\n50\n11\n111\n10\n23\nDischarged in full from temporary care\u2014  \t\nDied           -                               -              -           \t\n111\n22\n125\nTransferred to Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale \t\n1\n22\n114\n190\n304\nNet increase or decrease.  -   \t\n+33\n791\n-79\n561\n-46\n1,352\n THE WOODLANDS SCHOOL\nI 113\nTable 2.\u2014First Admissions to The Woodlands School by Health Unit and\nSchool District of Residence and Sex, April 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nHealth Unit\nMale\nFemale\nTotal\nHealth Unit\nMale\nFemale\nTotal\nEast Kootenay, Cranbrook\u2014\nSchool District No. 2\t\n, 3\t\nSelkirk, Nelson-\nSchool District No. 6\t\n\u201e   7\t\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n2\n1\n1\n4\n2\n9\n2\n4\n1\n2\n1\n2\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n2\n1\n11\n3\n3\n2\n1\n1\n1\n2\n1\n2\n1\n2\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n3\n1\n1\n1\n6\n3\n20\n5\n7\n1\n4\nSimon Fraser,  New Westminster\u2014Continued\nSchool District No. 43\t\nNorth Fraser Valley, Mission\u2014\nSchool District No. 75\t\nUpper Island, Courtenay\u2014\nSchool District No. 47\t\n, 71\t\nSkeena, Prince Rupert\u2014\nSchool District No. 51\t\n 52\t\nPeace River, Dawson Creek\u2014\nSchool District No. 59\t\n\u201e   60\t\n\u201e   81\t\nGreater Victoria  Metropolitan\nBoard of Health\u2014\nGreater Victoria\u2014School District No. 61 (parti)\n2\n1\n2\n2\n1\n1\n2\n3\n1\n4\n1\n2\n1\n2\n2\n1\n1\n1\n1\n2\n7\n2\n1\n2\n2\n3\n1\n4\n2\n 10\t\nWest Kootenay, Trail\u2014\nSchool District No. 11\t\n3\n2\nSouth Okanagan, Kelowna\u2014-\nSchool District No. 15\t\n1\n2\n\u201e   23\t\nSouth Central, Kamloops\u2014\nSchool District No. 25\t\n2\n1\n 30\t\n 31\t\nCariboo, Prince George\u2014\nSchool District No. 27\t\n2\n\u201e   56.\t\n10\n 57\t\nUpper   Fraser   Valley,   Chilli-\nSaanich and South Vancouver\nIsland\u2014School District No.\n62\n1\nSchool District No. 32\t\nCentral Vancouver Island, Nanaimo\u2014\nSchool District No. 65 _\n 66\t\n\u201e   67.-\t\n\u201e   68 _\n33\n\u201e   34\t\n6\nBoundary, Cloverdale\u2014\nSchool District No. 36\t\n1\nMetropolitan   Health   Commit\n2\ntee, Vancouver\u2014\nSchool District No. 38\t\n\u201e   70 \t\nSchool districts not covered by\nhealth units\u2014\nSchool District No. 48\t\n 80\t\nUnorganized\t\nTotals \t\n4\n\u201e   39\t\n, 41..\t\n\u201e   44\t\n3\n1\n3\n\u201e   45  - .\nster\u2014\nSchool District No. 40   \t\n62\n57\n119\ni Includes Victoria, Esquimalt, and Oak Bay.\n I 114\nMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nTable 3.\u2014First Admissions and Readmissions to The Woodlands School\nby Method of Admission, Age-group, and Sex, April 1, 1961, to March\n31,1962.\nAge-group (Years)\nMethod of Admission\nUnder\n1\n1-3\n4-6\n7-9\n10-14\n15-19\n20-29\n30-39\n40 and\nOver\nGrand\nTotal\nM.|F. |M..F. |M.[F.\nM.

G. C. d'Easum, Medical Superintendent\nThe patient population on April 1, 1961, was 288, and on March 31, 1962,\nwas 283. During the year thirteen patients were transferred to this institution from\nthe Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale, and five patients were transferred from\nthis institution to Essondale.\nOne patient was discharged in full on transfer back to Oakalla Gaol. Two\npatients were discharged on probation and two returned from probation.\nThere were seven patient deaths during the year. Practically all of these were\nin the old-age group.\nTen patients were seen by the Appeal Board.\nAs in previous years, a number of patients were allowed to go home on leave\nfor various periods of time, and throughout the year none of these privileges was\nabused.\nThe Vancouver Island Chest Clinic has been most co-operative, and each year\nhas made regular visits to the hospital with a portable X-ray unit to X-ray both\npatients and staff. Throughout the year the general health of the patients was good,\nand there were no epidemics of any kind to report. Dr. S. S. Avren and Dr. W.\nDempsey continued to care for the physical and dental needs of the patients\nrespectively.\nINDUSTRIAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY DEPARTMENT\nThese two departments remained under the very capable supervision of Mr.\nH. Helander. Both the indoor and outdoor Occupational Therapy Departments\nwere utilized to the fullest, with the patients being occupied with the various crafts,\nceramics, art metalwork, all phases of woodwork, leather-craft, and upholstery.\nMuch of the maintenance of the institution is looked after by this department with\nthe aid of patient help.\nThe paint crew, which consists of one assistant instructor of trades and maintenance and five or six patients, does all the decorating for the institution and had\na busy year.\nA fixture with three shelves for the Lower East and Top East Wards and a\nstorage cupboard for the ice-cream room were built, installed, and painted. Part\nof the concrete floor in the scullery was repaired. The tile floor in the kitchen was in\nbad shape, requiring maintenance. Double stainless-steel sinks and drain-counter\nto the dish-washing machine and a stainless-steel vegetable-washing sink with drain-\nboard were installed in the kitchen.   This has made a big improvement there.\nThirty-three feet of counter and room dividers were made, installed, and\nfinished for the Canadian Mental Health Association in its headquarters. All\nmaterials for this were supplied by the association.\nThree oak plant-stands were made and sent to the Department of Social Welfare.\nThe old boiler-house, which had the roof torn off when the boiler was removed,\nwas remodelled, a new roof put on, floor repaired, and now serves as a storage-\nhouse for the laundry.\nThe cement sidewalk in the recreation court had settled badly in places and\nwas either lifted or new concrete poured to make it right again. Considerable work\nwas done to the farm buildings, and troughs and feeders were built as required.\n I 120 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nApproximately 260 articles of toys were made, repaired, refinished, and sent\nto the Cosmopolitan Club for distribution to needy children at Christmas.\nThe fire-fighting equipment was checked regularly and hazards removed. The\nSaanich Fire Department, on its annual inspection in October, was well satisfied.\nTAILOR AND SHOE SHOP\nDuring the year five patients were kept occupied in the tailor and shoe shop,\nand many articles were made and supplied to the stores. The sole-sewing machine\nwas repaired and is being run by one of the patients, who does excellent repair work.\nLAUNDRY\nThe laundry has continued to work very satisfactorily and to capacity. The\namount of work done does not vary much throughout the years. Again this department was called upon to launder the linen used in the legislative dining-room during\nthe sitting of the Provincial Legislature. Machinery in the laundry continued to give\ngood service, with two or three minor repairs.\nRECREATION\nDuring the year three sightseeing bus tours were arranged for the patients and\nproved very enjoyable. A total of sixteen band and variety concerts was presented\nto the patients during the year. These entertainments were put on by various groups\nof interested Victoria citizens, and all were much appreciated and well attended.\nIn addition to the concerts, the regular programmes of television, radio, picture\nshows, etc., were continued.\nWeather permitting, the recreation court was in daily use during the summer\nmonths, and in the winter months the more active patients were allowed outside to\nexercise on the cement sidewalk.\nThe Public Library Commission continued to supply books for the patients,\nbooks being changed every four months.\nThe Canadian Legion and the Red Cross continued to supply comforts for the\nex-servicemen monthly. These comforts consist mostly of confections and smoking\nmaterial.\nChristmas gifts for the patients were contributed by the Canadian Mental Health\nAssociation, Salvation Army, Colwood Women's Institute, Vic-Van Isle Kinettes,\nZone Council of the Canadian Legion, Sons of Norway, and the Lake Cowichan\nLegion Ladies' Auxiliary.\nThe spiritual needs of the patients were cared for by the Salvation Army and\nProtestant churches on alternate Sundays.\n PROVINCIAL MENTAL HOME\nSTATISTICAL TABLES\nI 121\nTable 1.\u2014Movement of Population, Provincial Mental Home, Colquitz,1\nApril 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nNumber\n  288\n       1\n       1\nIn residence, April 1, 1961.\nOn probation, carried forward from 1960\/6L\nOn escape, carried forward from 1960\/61\u2014\nTotal as at April 1, 196L\n290\nAdmissions\u2014Transfers from Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale      9\nTotal under care  299\nSeparations\u2014\nDischarged in full.\nDied\t\n  2\n  7\nTransferred to Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale  5\nOn probation and still out  1\nOn escape but not discharged  1\nTotal separations\nNet increase or decrease\t\nIn residence, March 31, 1962.\n16\n-5\n283\nl This institution cares for male patients only.\nTable 2.\u2014Transfers to Provincial Mental Home, Colquitz, by Health\nUnit and School District of Residence, April 1,1961, to March 31,1962\nDetailed information for the above table may be obtained on request.\nTable 3.\u2014Transfers to Provincial Mental Home, Colquitz, by Method of\nAdmission and Age-group, April 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nAge-group (Years)\nMethod of Admission\n20-\n24\n25-\n29\n30-\n34\n35-\n39\n40-\n44\n1\n45- I 50-\n49   I   54\n1\n55-\n59\n60-\n64\n65-\n69\n70\nand\nOver\nTotal\n1\n1\n1\n2\n1\n1    1    2\n1\n8\nTotals\n1\n2\n2\n1\n'I2\n9\n I 122\nMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nTable 4.\u2014Transfers to Provincial Mental Home, Colquitz, by Mental\nDiagnosis and Age-group, April 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nAge-group (Years)\nMental Diagnosis\n20-\n24\n25-\n29\n30-\n34\n1\n35- I 40- 1 45-\n39   I   44   I   49\n1          1\n50-\n54\n55-\n59\n1\n60- ! 65-\n64   |   69\n1\n70\nand\nOver\nTotal\nSchizophrenic disorders. \t\n1\n1\n1\n1         1\n1\n1\n\u2014\n2\n7\n1\nDrug addiction (other than alcohol)-\n1\nTotals-   \t\n1\n2\n2    I    1\n1\n2\n9\n1\nTable 5.\u2014Transfers to Provincial Mental Home, Colquitz, by Mental\nDiagnosis and Marital Status, April 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nTable 6.\u2014Transfers to Provincial Mental Home, Colquitz, by Mental\nDiagnosis and Years of Schooling, April 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nTable 7.\u2014Transfers to Provincial Mental Home, Colquitz, by Citizenship\nand Age-group, April 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nTable 8.\u2014Transfers to Provincial Mental Home, Colquitz, by Religion,\nApril 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nTable 9.\u2014Transfers to Provincial Mental Home, Colquitz, by Previous\nOccupation, April 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nDetailed information for the above tables may be obtained on request.\n provincial mental home\nI 123\ncn\nO\nZ\nO\n<\n<\nft\nz\nw\n\u2022ft\nm\nN\nH\n5\nO\no\n\u00a7   -\nUJ cn\nQ\n<\no\nz\n>\no\nPh\nO\nz\no\nH\n<\n-J\nD\n0.\nO\nPt\nft\nz\nw\nQ\ncn\nvi\nvi\n\u25baJ\n03\n<\nP\no\no\ni\nvi\nO\n<\no\nz\n<\ng\nrtindHrtrtrtTfMntrta^in\n>n\n3\nH\nE\nts\n\u2022o .\ngo\na**-\"-\" i i I M i I r~\no\n0\\\nJ\ns r i i ii i i r r i i\nS\ny?\nTf\net\nSi I i 1 I 1 \\n 1 1 1 !M,H i\no\nto\no\\\nro\no        i    i        i    :        :   !        i        :\nvi\n\u25a0*r\n\"A\nm\nN    1    1    J    1              iiiii         !    1\nm\nm\n^\nf\nrt\ns\n2\n8 !

F. Bryson, Medical Superintendent\nThe three units of the Geriatric Division of the Mental Health Services have\ncontinued to function to capacity throughout the fiscal year 1961\/62 and have provided special medical and psychiatric care for over 1,600 elderly citizens of the\nProvince.\nThe continuing and increasing demand for this service is again reflected in the\nnumber of requests for the admission of patients 70 years of age or over. During\nthe year a total of 474 new applications was received, including 204 for men and 270\nfor women. This represents an increase of sixty-eight over the previous year, and\naverages thirty-nine requests each month. As may be expected, the greatest number,\ntotalling 357, emanated from all areas of the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island\nfor admission to the Valleyview unit and represents a significant increase of fifty-\nthree, or over 17 per cent, of the number received the previous year. Smaller increases were experienced in the number of new applications from the other areas of\nthe Province. From the Okanagan and Kootenay areas a total of 101 requests was\nreceived for admission to the Dellview Hospital, an increase of ten over the previous\nyear, while from the northern parts of the Province sixteen new applications were\nreceived, compared to eleven last year.\nAs in past years, the Medical Superintendent has attempted to allot vacancies\nto those most in need of the special environment and services provided by the Geriatric Division, and wherever possible to arrange for admission to the unit which is\nclosest to the family and friends of each patient. In addition, every effort has\nbeen made through correspondence, telephone, or office interviews with physicians,\nfamilies, or community agencies to obtain as much information as possible concerning applicants in order to utilize limited vacancies as efficiently as possible. The\nValleyview social service staff has been most helpful in this respect, particularly for\napplicants from the Lower Mainland area. In a significant number of cases, advice\nhas been given or assistance provided to relatives whereby satisfactory alternate\nsources of care were found and admission to Valleyview was no longer necessary.\nDuring the year it was possible to accept 356 applicants from the community,\nof which 216 were required to wait less than a month after receipt of their application. All urgent cases were accepted immediately. In addition, sixty-six elderly\npatients originally admitted to the Provincial Mental Hospital and Crease Clinic for\nobservation and treatment were accepted to the Geriatric Division for continued care.\nAt the Terrace and Vernon units all requests for admission of men could be accommodated without delay, and only occasionally was it necessary to delay the admission\nof women to the Dellview Hospital until vacancies occurred.\nAs direct admissions to the Skeenaview unit did not utilize all vacancies created\nthere by deaths and discharges, it was possible to arrange transfers of suitable male\npatients from the Provincial Mental Hospital to this unit on two occasions. On\nMay 16, 1961, eighteen men from West Lawn Building and four men from Valleyview were transported via Canadian Pacific Airlines to Skeenaview, while on March\n1, 1962, it was possible to transfer a further twenty men from the Provincial Mental\nHospital. On each occasion special attention was given to the selection of patients\nfor transfer, and it was pleasing to note that all patients accepted the change of\n GERIATRIC DIVISION I 127\nenvironment very readily. No difficulties were encountered, and the ready cooperation and courteous attention of all C.P.A. personnel involved in making the\narrangements and during the flights made these transfers a pleasant experience for\nboth patients and escorting staff.\nDuring the past fiscal year there has been no change in the total bed accommodation in the Geriatric Division, and consequently no significant increases or\ndecreases in the over-all movement of patients in the three units. As will be noted\nin the accompanying tables, the resident population in the Geriatric Division totalled\n1,245 as of March 31, 1962, representing an increase of only seven. However, to\nthis may be added twenty-five patients who are on probationary discharge, bringing\nthe total on unit register to 1,270 at the end of the year.\nTotal actual admissions to the Division numbered 392, including 205 men and\n187 women. Of this number, 297 were first admissions from the community, and\nincluded 203 to Valleyview, eighty-one to Dellview, and thirteen to Skeenaview.\nA total of sixty-six was transferred from the Provincial Mental Hospital to the\nthree units.\nSeparations due to death totalled 315, an increase of twelve over the previous\nyear, of which 148 were men and 167 women. Separations on discharge to the\ncommunity have increased significantly to a total for the year of forty-six, compared\nto twenty for the previous year. Of this number, forty-one were discharges from the\nValleyview unit, including sixteen men and twenty-five women, and reflects the very\ncommendable efforts of the Valleyview social workers who were instrumental in\nworking out the many details involved in locating and arranging for suitable and\nvery scarce sources of care in the community, and in assisting their elderly patients\nto accept and adjust to new environments away from the security of the Hospital.\nExperience during the past year has continued to show that many patients handicapped by senile brain changes and emotionally disturbed by their attempts to cope\nwith their problems in an environment too complex for their diminished capabilities,\ndo improve in hospital and can readjust happily in suitable boarding homes, rest\nhomes, or nursing homes in the community. Unfortunately there are still many\nimproved patients in hospital who could benefit by returning to community life and\nnearness to family and friends but are denied this privilege due to the scarcity of\nsuitable homes or the fact that the financial differential would place an undue strain\non their limited assets or those of their family. The social welfare agencies in the\nvarious communities of the Province have been most co-operative and have taken\na sincere interest in assisting in the placement of our geriatric patients whenever\napproached.\nVALLEYVIEW HOSPITAL\nThe Valleyview unit of the Geriatric Division has continued to maintain a high\nstandard of care throughout the year, during which time a total of 985 elderly\ncitizens received special geriatric treatment and supervision. This number included\n359 men and 626 women, the vast majority suffering from varying degrees of senile\nor arteriosclerotic brain disease associated with psychotic or behavioural reactions\nof varying intensity. As of March 31, 1962, the resident population at this unit\ntotalled 720, including 248 men and 472 women. An additional eight men and\nsixteen women were on the unit register but on probationary discharge to various\nhomes in the nearby community.\nThe general health of this patient-group has remained very satisfactory throughout the year, and there have been no major medical problems or epidemics. Regular\nmedical supervision and treatment have been provided during the year by Dr. Walter\nLazorko and Dr. Kenneth Greer, who were joined on May 9th by Dr. George\n I 128 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nKovacs. Due to illness, however, it was necessary for Dr. Greer to leave the service\non September 22nd, his place being taken by Dr. Lillian Hutton. On March 30,\n1962, Dr. Kovacs resigned to undertake further medical training in the East, and\narrangements were completed for Dr. Douglas Turner to replace him on April 1,\n1962. The Valleyview medical staff have been diligent in their care of their elderly\npatients and have constantly exhibited the patient understanding that is so important\nin dealing with the varied medical and psychiatric problems of elderly men and\nwomen handicapped by senile changes and emotionally disturbed by the frustrations\nand insecurities of later life.\nThe services of the specialist consultant staff at the Mental Hospital and Crease\nCUnic have continued to augment the day-to-day medical care of the Valleyview\nstaff. During the year a total of 204 men and women was referred for a wide range\nof conditions requiring the attention of a specialist. Most of this number required\nsurgical treatment of varying types and severity, many being major procedures.\nA total of 150 surgical procedures was required, all of which were successfully carried out in the Crease Clinic Surgery Department, again demonstrating that advanced\nage in itself is no longer a reason for denying elderly citizens the benefit of modern\nsurgical skill and knowledge.\nSeasonal increases in morbidity have occurred as expected during the unsettled weather of the fall and spring months, with pneumonia and upper respiratory\nillnesses being most prominent. In most cases antibiotic therapy and special nursing\ncare prevented serious complications, except in the very debilitated patients when\npneumonia became the terminal illness. During the month of March an especially\nvirulent strain of viral infection, which was also prevalent in the community, attacked\nmany patients and was unusually resistive to treatment. Staphylococcal skin infections have continued as a minor problem, but with prophylactic measures and early\nisolation of new cases the incidence of this form of infection has been held to a\nminimum.\nAtaractic therapy, especially chlorpromazine, along with the anti-depressants\nand occasionally mood-elevating medications have continued to be most helpful in\nalleviating the anxiety states and depressive reactions that are frequently associated\nwith chronic brain syndrome symptoms. However, adequate assessment of the\nneeds and capabilities of each patient and the production of a total environment and\ndaily programme that will answer the needs and promote a sense of security for the\nelderly person remains the primary approach to proper care and treatment of the\ngeriatric patient. Adequate diet, regularized living habits, correction of physical\ndefects, manual and social interests commensurate with physical and mental ability,\nand particularly the friendship and patient understanding of all who come in contact\nwith the elderly person, continue to be the primary therapeutic goals in the care of\nour patients.\nIt is with regret that we report the resignation of Miss West, Valleyview physiotherapist, in April, 1961. There is a great need for this type of therapy for geriatric\npatients, but it is recognized that the number of physiotherapists available are few\nand in great demand. Minimal therapy, such as heat lamp and massage, has been\ncarried out by nursing staff as much as possible, and in special instances Valleyview\npatients have been accepted for treatment in the Physiotherapy Department at the\nProvincial Mental Hospital.\nThe Valleyview Dental Department, which began operation late in the previous\nfiscal year, has played an important part in the total health programme. Dr. G.\nCampbell and his assistant, Mrs. Jane Pettifer, during the year have carried out a\ncomprehensive survey of the dental needs of 640 patients at Valleyview, as well as\n GERIATRIC DIVISION I 129\n1,254 additional treatment appointments. At the North Lawn Building, a total of\n791 examinations and treatments was given. Experience during the year has shown\nthat the vast majority of newly admitted patients have a very low level of dental\nhygiene and evidence of having had no dental care of any consequence long before\nadmission. Adequate dental treatment has been an important factor in the improvement of general health in many patients, with freedom from distress of ill-fitting\ndentures, eradication of chronic mouth infection, and improvement of feeding habits\nand general well-being.\nThe diagnostic services provided by the Valleyview X-ray Department and\nLaboratory have also played a vital part in promoting adequate medical care and\ntreatment for Valleyview patients. Dr. Jackson, Crease Clinic radiologist, and Miss\nG. Fuller, X-ray technician, have provided constant radiological services throughout\nthe year, during which time a total of 2,577 patients and staff received X-ray\nexaminations, requiring the processing and reporting of 4,375 films, covering a wide\nrange of radiological procedures. This also includes the annual tuberculosis chest\nsurvey of all patients and staff at Valleyview, the films for which were referred to\nDr. Dewick, of the Division of Tuberculosis, North Lawn, for assessment and\nrecording. Although several patients required further examination for suspicious\nchest films, no positive cases of tuberculosis infection were found.\nMr. A. Lee, Valleyview laboratory technician, has provided a comprehensive\ndiagnostic service, covering a full range of tests. During the year 10,357 test procedures were carried out, including 861 urinalyses, 347 blood chemistry estimations,\n6,799 bacteriological procedures, and 2,218 blood-cell counts and allied tests. On\na number of occasions the volume of laboratory work requisitioned was greater than\ncould be accomplished by our technician, so that assistance was required from the\nlaboratories in the Crease Clinic and Mental Hospital. Dr. G. Nicholson, consultant\npathologist at the Crease Clinic, has continued to provide technical supervision of\nthe Valleyview Laboratory, and has performed seventy-six post-mortem examinations during the year.   This represents an autopsy rate of 40 per cent.\nThe Valleyview Nursing Department, under the able direction of Miss E. Johnstone, Superintendent of Nurses, has continued to provide devoted service to this\ngroup of patients, and all nursing staff have consistently directed their efforts to\nproviding the best care possible for the elderly residents of this unit. Wherever\nindicated, routine nursing procedures and techniques have been revised or new ones\ninstituted in order to provide as high a standard of geriatric nursing care as possible.\nTo this end, an in-service educational course was held for various levels of nursing\npersonnel through the months of October to the end of March, the Valleyview nursing supervisors being the instructing staff. In addition, twenty-five charge and\nassistant charge nurses have been attending the post-basic course in nursing conducted by the Mental Health Services School of Nursing. Several nursing supervisors have also been able to attend special institutes at the University of Washington,\nand in February Miss Johnstone, Superintendent of Nurses, was assisted through\nFederal Health Grants to attend an institute in San Francisco on nursing service\nadministration. These opportunities are not only stimulating and educational for\nnursing personnel, but also are reflected in improved nursing care for patients.\nEvery effort is made to place newly admitted patients on wards where they will\nbenefit most from the ward facilities, and where they will adjust most happily, depending on their mental and physical handicaps. During the year several ward\nexchanges were made, which resulted in one group of feeble elderly women being\nmoved from one of the older buildings, where they had to contend with steep stairs\nand other building aspects unsuited to feeble patients, to a newer, more convenient\nward, all on one level.   At the same time, by gradual interward transfers, it was\n I 130 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\npossible to organize the two older buildings, Wards V.V. 2 and V.V. 3, as open\nwards for men and women respectively. These buildings now house the more\nphysically active and mentally capable men and women who can benefit from the\nfreedom and independence of an open ward, and can most easily cope with the\nphysical characteristics of these older-type structures. In addition, supervision in\nthe wards of the new Valleyview Building has been reorganized so that the main\ndoors to these six wards can be open or unlocked most of the time. The remaining\nwards of the unit must of necessity be closed wards, not for security measures, but\nrather to protect confused patients from wandering and becoming lost or endangering\nthemselves.\nIn addition to their prime responsibilities of patient and ward-centred care,\nnursing staff have willingly devoted time and effort in important aspects of patient-\ncare, such as escorting patients and assisting in off-the-ward programmes during\nChristmas festivities, summer picnics, Carnival Day, gardening projects, or functions\nin the Valleyview auditorium and chapel. The escorting of patients to the dentist,\nto the X-ray Department, to the Crease Clinic surgery, and to the Occupational\nTherapy Department are also time-consuming but necessary duties that take nursing\npersonnel away from wards. Fortunately there have been very few occasions when\nactivities have been cancelled due to lack of available nursing staff.\nThe protection of patients in the event of fire or other serious emergency has\nalso been of concern to nursing staff, who have willingly taken part in the instructional programmes given by Mr. A. Lowry, Essondale Fire Chief, and his staff in\npractical fire-fighting techniques and evacuation procedures. Several fire drills with\nevacuation of patients were held during the year. In addition, Civil Defence plans\nfor the safety and protection of Valleyview patients and staff in the event of nuclear\ndisaster are being formulated in conjunction with the over-all Civil Defence plans\nfor the Essondale area.\nReverend Filer, Valleyview chaplain, has provided a devoted and comprehensive ministry to all patients at this unit and the North Lawn Building of the Provincial\nMental Hospital during the past year, and his services have been of great comfort\nand support to all. Regular Sunday services in the Valleyview chapel and at North\nLawn totalled ninety-nine for the year, with four additional special services of Holy\nCommunion in April and December. In addition, 423 mid-week chapel services\nwere held on the various wards for those patients unable to leave the wards. In\nOctober an additional ward programme of short vesper services featuring hymns and\nother religious music was instituted and readily received by the elderly men and\nwomen. A total of 125 such programmes was held. In this work Reverend Filer\nhas again been assisted voluntarily by Mrs. Filer, whose interest and devotion to the\nwelfare of Valleyview patients has been deeply appreciated. All patients and staff\nsincerely regret that illness has reduced Mrs. Filer's active participation in this programme during the latter part of the year. However, her assistance as organist has\nbeen replaced by a talented patient from Riverside Building at the Provincial Mental\nHospital, who has willingly devoted many hours in assisting Reverend Filer as organist and in many other ways. In addition to this regular programme, the Valleyview\nchaplain has also carried out regular pastoral visits to all wards each month, with\nspecial attention to the seriously ill and the bed-ridden.\nThroughout the year Father Frechette has responded readily to the religious\nneeds of all patients of Roman Catholic faith and has brought spiritual comfort to\nmany patients at Valleyview. Rev. J. O'Neil, resident chaplain at Essondale, has\nalso continued his interest in this area when relieving Reverend Filer during holiday\nabsence.\n GERIATRIC DIVISION I  131\nThe Valleyview Social Service Department became a long-awaited reality on\nMay 15, 1961, when Miss Jean MacLean, B.S.W., and Miss Marjorie Martin,\nB.S.W., joined the Valleyview staff on a permanent basis, having completed postgraduate courses in social work at the University of British Columbia. On January 8,\n1962, the staff complement of this new department was completed with the appointment of Mr. Lindsay McCormick, M.S.W., as Valleyview social-work supervisor.\nThese workers have been most diligent in their efforts in the development of\nthis new service and have been of great assistance to the Medical Superintendent in\nhis efforts to assign limited vacancies in the unit to those applicants in the community most in need of hospital care. Social service work is required and has been\ndeveloped in three main areas. Firstly, in the field of pre-admission service the\nValleyview staff have visited seventy-six applicants and their families, and of these\nwere actively able to assist in the placement of forty-three men and women in suitable accommodation, thus preventing the need for admission to Valleyview. In\naddition, information was obtained regarding forty-three licensed rest homes in\nthe Lower Mainland which are considered suitable for the placement of geriatric\npatients. Secondly, the area of in-hospital services has been most helpful to medical\nstaff with the documenting of background information and social history of in-\nresident patients, and to patients' relatives who are so frequently burdened by guilt\nand misunderstanding of the purpose and function of a modern mental hospital. The\nreassurance and support provided by the social service staff have been of sincere help\nto many families. Finally, the time-consuming work done in the area of pre-\ndischarge planning and probationary follow-up has been evident by the fact that the\nnumber of patients discharged on probation has risen to a total of forty-one, including sixteen men and twenty-five women, compared to a total of eleven during the\nprevious year. In addition, very important liaison has developed with social service\ndepartments in the various communities, by orientation visits of other social workers\nto Valleyview, and through co-operative planning for discharge of patients and\ncontacts made during pre-admission assessment. The ready co-operation and understanding received from the various social welfare departments concerning applicants\nfor admission and the assistance received in planning discharge arrangements for\nValleyview patients have been sincerely appreciated throughout the year.\nOccupational therapy continues to be of major importance in the total care and\ntreatment of geriatric patients, and this department at Valleyview has provided a\ncomprehensive and expanded programme during the year under the able direction\nof Miss B. Halverson, O.T.(Reg.), who took charge of this area in April, 1961. In\nJune Mr. R. Rettschlag, handicraft instructor, joined the staff, while later, in October, Mrs. N. Fitchett was appointed as a handicraft instructor to replace Miss S.\nGroenewood, who resigned to return to her home in Holland. Special attention has\nbeen given to newly admitted patients in order to assess their needs and abilities for\ncraft work with a view to providing an early and contented adjustment to hospital,\nand to remove the feeling of loneliness and uselessness that so frequently pervades\nthe life of elderly people and so often is a major factor contributing to the emotional\ndisturbances necessitating hospitalization. During the year a total of 533 men and\nwomen participated in occupational-therapy activities, representing 12,859 individual patient-treatment periods, both on the wards and in the workshop in the\nValleyview Building. The development of a patients' gardening project has been a\nnew feature this year, which has appealed to a large number of men and women, as\nwell as expansion in woodworking activities, especially for the male residents. Of\nparticular interest has been the generous and much-appreciated contribution of\nmembers of the Vancouver Dahlia Society, who donated a variety of dahlia plants\n I 132 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nfor the gardening project, then visited the Hospital regularly to instruct the men and\nwomen in planting and caring for their dahlias, as well as arranging for a special\nexhibit of the patients' blooms at the annual flower show in Vancouver. C.M.H.A.\nvolunteers have also assisted regularly in this department throughout the year.\nThe Valleyview recreational-therapy programme, in like manner, has continued\nto provide a very important contribution to the welfare and treatment of patients\nunder the very capable direction of Mrs. Mildred Franklin and Mr. A. Massey,\nValleyview recreational instructors. During the year a total of 639 regularly scheduled events was conducted, which were enjoyed by a total attendance of 25,446\npatients, a marked increase over the number of events and patient attendance provided in past years. In developing programmes, special attention has been directed\ntoward encouraging community interest in the Hospital and to stimulating patients'\ninterest in community life, through visits and entertainment provided by concert\ngroups, dance groups, and community choirs, as well as programmes such as mystery\nbus trips and Stanley Park picnics, which take patients into the community. This\ncontribution to patient welfare provided by many community organizations has been\nmost appreciated and encouraging. In addition to the regular programmes, such as\nbingo parties, \"open house,\" and Happy Gang activities in the Valleyview auditorium, it has been possible to increase markedly the number of ward activities, such\nas sing-songs, film showings, and birthday socials, for the benefit of many men and\nwomen who are unable to leave the wards. Special efforts were put forth to highlight\nfestive occasions such as Easter, Hallowe'en, Carnival Day, and Christmas, when the\nOccupational and Recreational Departments combined activities to provide appropriate decorations and entertainment for patients' enjoyment and participation. Of\nparticular note were the special Christmas concerts and pantomime shows in which\nmany Valleyview patients were participants, and which were repeated on several\noccasions so that all residents were able to enjoy the spirit and meaning of the\nYuletide season. Staff members of all other departments also gave willingly of their\ntime and talents toward making these festive occasions a meaningful experience to\nall patients.\nThe British Columbia Division of the Canadian Mental Health Association\nagain contributed regularly throughout the year toward the welfare of Valleyview\npatients through the volunteer programme and the tearoom and tuck-shop in the\nValleyview lodge. An increased number of volunteers have visited the wards regularly several days a week, delivering magazines and books, assisting in the Occupational Therapy Department and at recreational-therapy activities, and by friendly\nvisiting and in many other ways have contributed immeasurably to the contentment\nand security of our men and women. The teashop, too, has continued to be a valuable asset to Valleyview patients and their visitors, who are most appreciative of\nthe cheerful and efficient service provided by Mrs. T. Barony and the volunteer ladies\nwho assist her.\nBusiness management of Valleyview Hospital has been of high standard\nthroughout the year, under the conscientious and able direction of Mr. A. I. Smith,\nand the various departments directly responsible to his office have functioned efficiently, with no major changes or additions.\nDietary service to patients and staff has continued at a high level of efficiency\nunder the skilled guidance of Mrs. A. Frith, Valleyview dietician, and improvements\nIn food preparation and service have been instituted wherever possible. In addition\nto the daily average of 310 patients who receive the high-protein geriatric diet and\n307 who require specially prepared minced foods, the special-diet section in the main\nkitchen has prepared a daily average of 163 diets for diabetic patients, cardiac cases,\n GERIATRIC DIVISION I 133\nulcer regimes, and other special medical dietary needs. Staff menus, too, have been\nvaried and nutritious and prepared appetizingly by Mr. McCook, Chief Cook, and\nhis energetic kitchen staff during the year.\nMr. G. Kelly, Valleyview pharmacist, has maintained a full and regular pharmaceutical and nursing and medical supply service to all wards throughout the year.\nIn addition to a busy daily schedule fulfilling the regular and special pharmacy ward\norders, the pharmacist has spent many hours assisting nursing staff regarding the\nmaintenance and storage of ward medications, the preparation of stock solutions,\nand general supervision of the Valleyview pharmaceutical needs as a member and\nsecretary of the unit Pharmacy Committee, which was formed during the year with\nDr. Lazorko as chairman and Valleyview representative on the Branch Pharmacy\nCouncil.\nThe housekeeping staff, directed by Mrs. A. Warren, have also continued to\nmaintain a high level of efficiency in ward cleanliness and linen-supply in the Valleyview Building. In-service training of housekeeping employees has continued, including the presentation of films on hospital sepsis and sanitation to the staff- of this\ndepartment, as well as nursing and medical staff in March, 1962. By reclassification\nof established housekeeping positions, a full-time seamstress was employed to\nmaintain clothing repair in the main building and a working male supervisor was\nappointed as an assistant to the Valleyview housekeeper.\nThroughout the year Valleyview patients have benefited greatly from the regular and important services provided by Mrs. M. Lutner in the Valleyview beauty-\nparlour and Mr. Drinkwater, our male barber. Proper grooming has stimulated\nmany elderly men and women to renew interest in their general appearance and\nhabits, which so readily are forgotten and neglected by geriatric patients.\nThe medical records of Valleyview patients have been maintained in good\norder throughout the year by the stenographic and clerical staff under the general\nsupervision of Miss M. Jorgenson, senior clerk-stenographer, who has also carried\nout the secretarial duties of the Medical Superintendent's office in an efficient and\ncourteous manner. The addition of a Social Service Department during the year has\nincreased considerably the volume of stenographic work, for which additional clerical\nassistance is urgently needed. The appointment of a clinical supervisor for the\nmedical records office early in the new fiscal year will alleviate this situation.\nThe business office and information centre in the Valleyview Building has\nmaintained a comprehensive service to patients, staff, and public throughout the\nyear. General work volume has continued to increase, with heavy activity in personnel matters and all accounting of patients' trust and maintenance accounts. The\nvouchering of all invoices and accounts for payment was undertaken as a Valleyview\nresponsibility during the year and is proceeding satisfactorily. Tribute is due Mrs.\nN. Timtiman, accountant, and her staff for a high level of efficiency involving, large\nvolume and multiplicity of clerical accounting routines. An audit of Valleyview\nbusiness records was completed in October and November, 1961, without adverse\ncomments.\nThe Public Works Department has attended to the maintenance needs of\nValleyview Hospital promptly and efficiently during the year. Utility services\ncontinued at a satisfactory level, with no major interruptions except in water-supply\nin January. On this occasion a high-pressure supply-line was accidentally fractured\nby a power-shovel, and a shut-down of the system was required for several hours.\nTemporary flooding of the basement of Ward V.V. 6 occurred, but no damage\nresulted.\n 1  134 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nIn addition to the completion of routine maintenance and repair items, Public\nWorks staff completed the modification of stair treads and the screening of the new\nfire-escapes for Wards 1, 2, and 3. Root clogging of surface drains around the\nValleyview auditorium necessitated deep excavation, removal of a large willow-tree,\nand lawn replacement, which was completed in November. Preparatory landscaping\nwork was also commenced on the slope below the main building.\nDuring the year several items of major equipment were received, including a\nstandard passenger automobile for the Social Service Department; physiotherapy\nand medical equipment through Federal Health Grants; fifty dining-room chairs and\ntwelve dining-room tables; two Soundscriber dictating-machines, one transcriber,\nand one typewriter. In addition, two Hobart single-compartment dish-washers, one\nindustrial sewing-machine, six floor-polishing machines, and fifty park benches have\nbeen welcome additions to Valleyview equipment.\nDELLVIEW HOSPITAL\nThe Vernon unit of the Geriatric Division has functioned to capacity throughout\nthe year, under the capable administration of Mr. L. W. Fox, Supervisor, and his\ndeputy and Superintendent of Nurses, Miss H. O. Lipsey, R.N. A total of 323\nelderly men and women received care and treatment during the fiscal year 1961\/62.\nThe resident population as of March 31, 1962, stands at 232, including 106\nmen and 126 women, a slight increase of three over the resident population of a\nyear ago. Total admissions numbered ninety-three, of which eighty-six were direct\nfrom the community and seven transfers from other units of the Mental Health\nServices. This total includes forty men and fifty-three women, and represents an\nincrease over the previous year of fifteen patients. Separations numbered ninety-\none, a slight increase of eight. Of these, eighty-six were due to death, two transfers\nto the Essondale area for special treatment, and two discharges to the community,\none of which was discharged in full and the other remaining on probationary status\nat the year's end.\nThe general health and welfare of this patient-group have been maintained at\na satisfactory level, although it is evident that the average patient at Dellview is more\nfeeble and helpless than in previous years, is less able to care for himself or to assist\nothers, and requires more supervision and personal attention from nursing staff.\nAs of March 31, 1962, the average age of male patients was 77.3, and for women,\n80.1 years.\nGeneral medical care and supervision has again been given by Dr. J. Smith,\nwho has visited the Hospital regularly and has responded to calls promptly whenever\nrequired. There have been no major medical problems during the year, and no\nmajor surgery has been required. Ten patients suffered fractures due to accidental\nfalls, but most were of a minor nature and all could be treated conservatively on the\nward.\nDuring January and February there was a general increase in the number of\nupper respiratory infections, and in some of the most debilitated residents secondary\npneumonias developed and became the terminal illness.\nThe Vernon Jubilee Hospital has supplied all X-ray and laboratory service for\nDellview patients as required, and the administrative and technical staff of this Hospital have been most co-operative whenever their advice or assistance has been\nneeded.\nIn October, 1961, a mobile unit of the Division of Tuberculosis Control carried\nout the annual chest survey of all patients and staff.   Although one lady was trans-\n GERIATRIC DIVISION I 135\nferred to the North Lawn Building at Essondale for further observation, no infectious\ncases of pulmonary tuberculosis were found amongst this patient-group.\nAuxiliary medical services included dental care, given by Dr. Bishop, who has\nvisited the Hospital regularly to perform examinations, extractions, and to fit dentures when justified. Visual aid has been provided by Mr. W. H. Franks, optometrist, who has carried out refractions and provided corrective lenses whenever\nrequired.\nNursing services have been maintained at a very satisfactory standard, under\nthe capable direction of Miss H. O. Lipsey, R.N., with no major changes in nursing\npolicy, although nursing procedures have been modified or revised as indicated to\nimprove the quality of nursing care for the many feeble and helpless residents.\nEvery effort has been made to provide reading material and instruction to nursing\nstaff concerning current techniques in the field of geriatric nursing. To this end,\nMiss Lipsey has attended two Mental Health Services unit nursing conferences in\nVancouver during the year, as well as participating in a two-day seminar held in\nKelowna under the auspices of the Okanagan Registered Nurses' Association. New\nknowledge obtained through these sources has formed the basis for instructional\nprogrammes for the Dellview nursing staff.\nDuring the year the nursing complement was increased by three, two positions\nbeing assigned to the male wards and one to the female section. This additional\nassistance has been most welcome as the increasing debility of this patient-group\nhas required a great deal of time-consuming nursing care.\nThe important diversional activities, including handicrafts and recreational\nprogrammes, have been enthusiastically and capably directed by Mrs. J. Sherlock,\nhandicraft instructor. A wide range of projects, such as rug-making, leather and\ncopper work, crocheting, knitting, and embroidery, have contributed to the well-\nbeing of many patients by providing productive activity and a feeling of accomplishment. Loneliness and feelings of rejection, so commonly the complaints of elderly\npersons, have been combated at Dellview by the daily ward activities, the understanding attention of the nursing staff, the regular monthly parties on the lawns or\nin the wards, and by the friendship and entertainment provided by the volunteer\nladies and visiting groups. Always ready and willing to help are various groups of\nchurch, fraternal, and service organizations. The Canadian Mental Health Association volunteers, whose services to Dellview patients have been co-ordinated by\nMrs. Sherlock and Mrs. L. Fox, have been most helpful at scheduled social activities\nand in their generous donations and help at Christmas. Radio and television also\ncontinue to be a daily source of interest for many patients. Interest in community\nactivities has been enjoyed by many patients through car rides provided by members\nof the local I.O.O.F. lodge, bus rides sponsored by the St. John Ambulance Society,\nand by the showing of travel films from the Vernon Film Council.\nThe spiritual needs of our patients have been well supplied by the regular services held by Reverend Reeve and by Monsignor Miles or Father Kenny. Ministers\nof other denominations often visit patients who formerly belonged to their organizations.\nDietary services have continued to be most satisfactory throughout the year.\nMr. Owens, Chief Cook, and his staff have constantly demonstrated their interest in\nthe welfare of the residents at Dellview by their capable production of appetizing\nand nutritious menus each day, by their extra efforts to provide special diets when\nrequired, and by their ready co-operation in providing special treats for birthday\nparties and special occasions such as Christmas.\nThe many and varied duties of the general office have shown a general increase\nin volume during the year, and all administration and medical records have been\n I  136 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nmaintained efficiently. An audit of the unit records was carried out in July by\nDepartmental auditors without adverse reports.\nLaundry service to all wards, so important in the nursing care of elderly patients, has been maintained efficiently by Mr. Todd and his conscientious staff. During\nthe year a total of 575,296 pounds of soiled linen was processed, representing a daily\naverage of 7 pounds for each patient.\nAll departments have benefited from the regular and efficient service provided\nby Mr. Baron, stockman, who has maintained a ready supply at all times of the many\nand varied items required for the operation of this unit.\nThe Public Works staff, too, have continued to play an important role in the\nmaintenance of good health and welfare for Dellview residents by their prompt and\nskilled attention to the many details connected with the efficient operation of the\nphysical plant and its utilities. Reorganization of this department occurred in June,\n1961, when Mr. T. Baker was placed in charge of all maintenance and engineering\nstaff at Dellview, with general supervision being provided by Mr. W. Smith, at Tranquille. Two major projects in 1961 were the reshingling of the second half of the\nmain building, plus Nurses' Homes 1 and 2, and partial structural reconstruction\nand exterior shingling of Nurses' Home 3. New water-lines were also required to\nthe main building to provide a more adequate supply, and to the annex to replace a\nbroken line which was embedded in concrete and could not be repaired. In addition, considerable interior redecorating was accomplished during the fall and winter\nmonths in the wards and corridors, improving appreciably their general appearance.\nSome structural changes were also made to the fire-escapes from two male wards,\nwhich made possible the elimination of several hazardous ramps.\nMr. Legg, Dellview gardener, and his helper have contributed greatly to the\npleasure of the patients and the general appearance of the Hospital by their expert\nattention to the lawns and gardens, and by the constant supply of beautiful plants\nand flowers for the wards throughout the year.\nSKEENAVIEW HOSPITAL\nThe Skeenaview Hospital, too, has continued to maintain a very satisfactory\nstandard of care for many elderly residents, under the capable direction of Mr. W. E.\nSkillicorn, Supervisor, and his deputy, Mr. F. Stewart, Chief Psychiatric Nurse.\nDuring the past year a total of 334 patients received care and treatment at this unit.\nResident population as of March 31, 1962, numbered 293, an increase of fourteen compared to the same date a year ago. Admissions during the year increased\nby twenty-three, to a total of fifty-five, including thirteen first admissions from the\ncommunity, four transfers from Valleyview, and thirty-eight transfers from the Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale. Separations totalled forty-one, including two\npatients discharged in full to the community, one transfer to Essondale, and thirty-\neight deaths.\nThe general health of this patient-group has been maintained at a satisfactory\nlevel throughout the year, with no major medical problems encountered. An increased number of patients have required bed care or close personal attention due\nto general debility and feebleness compared to previous years as most of the patients\nnow being transferred from the Essondale area are older and less capable of caring\nfor themselves than those transferred in earlier years. Seasonal increases in respiratory and intestinal infections during the spring and fall months were noticeable, but\nearly and intensive treatment kept this problem from reaching epidemic proportions.\nThe Division of Tuberculosis Control travelling clinic conducted the annual chest\nX-ray survey of the staff and half of the patients during September, with a recheck\n GERIATRIC DIVISION I 137\nof doubtful cases and the balance of the patients during February. One positive case\nwas transferred to North Lawn Building, Essondale, for observation and treatment.\nDr. R. E. Lee and Dr. K. Christensen, who replaced Dr. Nicholson in July,\nhave conscientiously provided full medical care and supervision of the general health\nof the Dellview patients. Major surgical procedures were carried out on seven patients, including three repairs of fractured hips resulting from accidental falls, four\nabdominal operations, and one leg amputation for severe circulatory disturbance.\nIn all instances the surgery was performed at the Terrace and District Hospital, and\nthe patients were immediately returned to Skeenaview for post-operative and convalescent care. The administrative and technical staffs of the Terrace and District\nGeneral Hospital have been most co-operative during the year, and the improved\nfacilities in this new hospital have been fully available to our patients.\nNursing services have been maintained at a high level under the direction of\nMr. F. W. Stewart, Chief Psychiatric Nurse, and all members of the nursing staff\nhave been most conscientious in providing patient, understanding care to their\nelderly charges. A programme of lectures and study of the latest nursing techniques\nin geriatric nursing and in post-operative care has been well received by all staff.\nDuring February it was possible to renovate a vacated area of the main building\nas a 10-bed open ward. This area provides a living-room and other home-like\nfacilities for patients who are capable of enjoying full ground privileges and of caring\nfor themselves, and has been most stimulating for both patients and staff.\nIn addition to their specific duties of providing time-consuming nursing care\nto patients, the staff have also provided a varied occupational and recreation programme as time permitted, and in many instances they have readily devoted their\nown free time to providing diversional activities for the residents. A regular programme of organized indoor activities, such as bingo, shuffleboard, cribbage tournaments, and twice-weekly movies, has been available. In addition a special effort\nwas made to provide an outdoor programme for the summer months, which has\nresulted in the installation of two concrete checkerboards in the lawn area, which\nare used regularly. Out-of-doors picnics, bingo games, and impromptu softball\ngames, as well as scenic drives and walking parties, have been enjoyed by many\npatients. It has also been pleasing to note the growing interest of the Terrace community in the welfare of our patients, who have benefited and sincerely enjoyed the\nvisits of many interested organizations. Visits and entertainment provided by the\nlocal Square Dance Club, the Teenettes Club, and choirs from various churches have\nbeen well received.\nReligious services for patients have been regularly conducted by Father Mohan\nand Rev. A. P. Horsfield, who replaced Archdeacon Hinchcliffe in October. In addition to the regular services at the Hospital, a sizeable group of patients also attend\nevening services in the St. Mathew's Anglican Church on at least one Sunday of each\nmonth. Ministers from several denominations have also visited patients who were\nformer members of their congregation.\nUnder the direction of Mr. H. F. Piffer, Chief Cook, the kitchen staff have\nprovided regular dietary service of high quality with varied appetizing and nutritious\nmenus, as well as special diets for medical purposes as required. Special occasions\nsuch as Christmas and the New Year have been marked by extra delicacies, much to\nthe delight and enjoyment of all the men. At the end of February, 1962, Mr. Val\nFeeney, a senior cook, became subject to automatic retirement after many years of\nfaithful service.\nThe Laundry Department, under the supervision of Mr. Norton, has also provided conscientious service to the patients with a regular supply of clean linen and\nclothing for the wards.   The efficiency of this service was heightened by the addition\n I 138 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nof two staff laundresses to replace the dwindling efforts of several patients who have\nassisted faithfully in the laundry for several years.\nStores and supplies have been regularly available and of good quality through\nthe conscientious efforts of Mr. Olson, stockman, who has maintained the many\nitems required by the unit in adequate supply at all times. Due to careful scrutiny\nand anticipation of the needs of the Hospital and the potential hazards of transportation in this northern area, no problems of service or delivery occurred.\nThe staff in the general office completed the decentralization of business procedures during the early months of the year and have carried out the many and varied\nduties of this service, including the maintenance of medical records, very efficiently.\nThe addition of a part-time clerk-stenographer who had previous experience in medical records at Essondale has improved the efficiency of this office appreciably.\nThe Public Works staff, under the direction of the Chief Engineer, Mr. F. T.\nMcLachlan, have carried out all maintenance and repairs as required, and there\nhave been no interferences in utility services of a major nature or hazardous to the\ngeneral welfare of the patients. On several occasions, problems arose which were\npotentially hazardous, including the contamination of water from the secondary\nwell, but prompt action by the Public Works Department and the Skeenaview engineering staff prevented serious consequences. Projects completed included the repair\nof a 6-inch water-main in the boiler-house, the installation of a water-chlorinating\nsystem, the replacement of a collapsed floor in the boiler-room by a concrete floor,\nand final repairs to the boiler-house stacks and incinerator.\nAn event of major importance to the Skeenaview Hospital occurred on November 27, 1961, when Mr. A. Lowry, Fire Chief, Essondale, delivered to the unit a\nhalf-ton pick-up truck which had been specially converted and equipped by the\nPublic Works Department for use as a fire-truck. The arrival of this equipment\nand the generous efforts of Mr. Lowry in assisting in the reorganization and training\nof the Skeenaview volunteer fire group have been most appreciated. The Skeenaview patients now have the protection of a well-trained group of nine staff members\nunder the leadership of Mr. Hans Morlok, of the engineering staff. Continued training in fire-fighting procedures has been in co-operation with the local Terrace Fire\nDepartment and its chief, Mr. A. Owens, whose leadership and assistance to the\nSkeenaview volunteers have been most appreciated.\n GERIATRIC DIVISION\nI  139\nSTATISTICAL TABLES\nVALLEYVIEW HOSPITAL\nTable 1.\u2014Movement of Population, Valleyview Hospital, Essondale,\nApril 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nMale\nFemale\nTotal\nIn residence, April 1,1961      _\n246\n3\n484\n8\n730\n11\nTotal as at April 1, 1961\t\n249\n492\n741\nAdmissions\u2014\n90\n5\n2\n1\n12\n113\n11\n10\n203\n16\n2\n1\n22\n110\n134\n244\n359\n626\n985\nSeparations\u2014\n8\n74\n16\n5\n8\n9\n117\n10\n2\n16\n17\nDied  \t\n191\n26\n7\n24\n111\n154\n265\nNet increase or decrease  \u25a0  \t\n+2\n248\n-12\n472\n-10\n720\n I 140\nMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nTable 2.\u2014First Admissions to Valleyview Hospital, Essondale, by Health\nUnit and School District of Residence and Sex, April 1, 1961, to\nMarch 31, 1962.\nHealth Unit\nMale\nFemale\nTotal\nHealth Unit\nMale\nFemale\nTotal\nWest Kootenay, Trail\u2014\nSchool PistriVf No. o\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n1\n6\n40\n15\n7\n2\n6\n2\n5\n2\n1\n1\n1\n1\n2\n9\n69\n8\n10\n2\n12\n1\n3\n2\n2\n3\n15\n109\n23\n17\n4\n18\n3\n8\n2\nUpper Island, Courtenay\u2014\nSchool District No. 47\n,i         jj  71\n1\n1\n9\n2\n1\n2\n1\n1\n1\nno\n1\n1\n4\n1\n1\n1\n2\n1\n~\"I\n134\n2\n 12    ~~   ..\n1\nSouth Central, Kamloops\u2014\n,Srh\"\"l TMstrtet N<\\ '4\nSkeena, Prince Rupert\u2014\nSchool nietrirt No. 5?\n1\n\u201e         \u201e         \u201e  29\nGreater  Victoria  Metropolitan\nBoard of Health-\nGreater Victoria\u2014School District No. 61 (parti)\t\nSaanich and South Vancouver\nIsland\u2014\nSchool District No. 61\n(parts) \t\nSchool District No. 62\t\nCentral Vancouver Island, Nanaimo\u2014\nschool restrict Nn.

E. McNair, Director\nADULT OUT-PATIENT SERVICE\nThe number of persons receiving both diagnostic and treatment service during\nthe year is surprisingly comparable to the number treated last year in Adult Clinic\ndespite the dispersal of staff to cover regional development. Six hundred and twenty-\neight persons were seen in diagnostic assessment, compared with 632 the previous\nyear, of whom 275 were taken on for treatment, compared with 282 last year. Two\nhundred and forty-four were continued in treatment from the previous year, for a\ntotal of 519 persons who received treatment during the year.\nThe number of male patients referred compared to female has increased so that\nthe ratio is now 5:7 instead of 5:8. There has been a corresponding shift in the\nratio of male to female patients under treatment from 1:2.1 to 1:1.9. Of the 275\npersons on whom treatment was commenced, the major occupations represented\nwere housewife, then clerical and sales. There were more unskilled workmen than\nthere were semi-skilled and skilled combined. More than half were full-time employed or working as housewives, but nearly one-third were unemployed, retired, or\nhad unsettled employment. Educational opportunity for the group was good, with\nmore than half having Grade VII to XI education, and another one-third having\nmore than that. Two-thirds had average income, one-quarter had low income, and\none-twelfth had a subsistence level.\nDuring the five years that the Adult Clinic has been in operation, 1,402 persons\nhave been admitted for treatment, nearly half of whom have been in the 25-39 age\nrange. About 5 per cent have been under 20 years, and another 5 per cent over 60\nyears. The average age is 36 years. The admissions for treatment by residence\nreveal that utilization of service varies according to accessibility. During the five-\nyear period, 75 per cent of the patients under treatment have come from the metropolitan area of Vancouver, Burnaby, and New Westminster. An additional 15 per\ncent have come from the periphery, including North and West Vancouver, Richmond, and the area of the Boundary Health Unit. Three per cent have come from\nthe Upper Fraser Valley, 3Vi per cent from the Okanagan, South Central, and\nKootenay districts combined. That leaves only 3J\/i per cent for the balance of the\nProvince. Fifteen per cent of the total patients seen for treatment are readmissions,\nbut, if we pick out the last year, nearly 25 per cent of that group have been treated\nat the Adult Clinic before. The diagnostic categories represented show psychotic\nreactions, psychoneurotic reactions, and character disorders in the proportion of\n1:2:1. More than half of the persons with neurotic disorders suffer from depression, and more than one-quarter from anxiety reaction. One may certainly offer\nfour conclusions from these figures:\u2014\n(1) That women come more readily for treatment than men, although the gap\nis narrowing.\n(2) Persons with more education come more readily for treatment than those\nwho have not completed grade school.\n(3) Treatment availability and utilization vary directly according to proximity\nto the Centre.\n(4) In the treatment of mental disorder, one must be prepared to meet the\nproblems of chronicity and relapse.\n I 156 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nCHILDREN'S CLINICS OUT-PATIENT SERVICE\nEight hundred and five children have been seen during the year by the Children's Clinics for diagnostic assessment. Four hundred and fifty-nine children have\nbeen receiving a treatment service in the Children's Clinics during the year, 216 of\nwhich were on treatment at the end of last year and 243 new cases were taken on;\n278 cases were closed, leaving 139 cases currently in treatment in the Children's\nClinic at the Mental Health Centre in Burnaby and forty-two in the Children's Clinic\nat the Mental Health Centre in Victoria.\nTREATMENT OF EMOTIONAL DISORDERS IN CHILDREN\nThe emerging personality of the child depends for its nourishment on his own\nhome and regular school setting. Optimally, the child has two parents who want\nhim and can show their affection and provide a balance between encouragement and\ndiscipline which enables him to develop up to capacity in the work he undertakes to\ndo, the interests he develops, and his ability to enjoy life in relation to other people.\nHelp is sought outside the home when difficulties within the child, difficulties within\none of the parents or in the parent-child relationship are creating tensions. The first\nline of specialized help may come from the school, where a teacher-nurse conference\nidentifies that a child is having particular difficulties and the school personnel take\nsteps to do something about it. Alternatively, the parents may recognize that they\nrequire help and go to their family counsellor for advice. This family counsellor\nmight be a relative, the family doctor, their clergyman, nurse, social worker, or other\nperson who undertakes to fulfil this role.\nWhen it comes to treatment, however, a more specialized resource is required.\nThe principal mode of treatment is by interview, with the child and parents seeing\nthe therapist separately or together. The number of interviews varies a good deal,\nboth according to the severity of the problem and the availability of resources. If\nthe problem presented cannot be dealt with within the home setting, a special school\nsetting for the child may be necessary or even a different home setting either with\nrelatives or by foster-home placement. When such a move is undertaken, continued\nwork must be done with the child and parents if the home is to be reconstituted later.\nFor example, the Children's Clinic gave ninety-two assessments and consultatives to\nthe Children's Aid Society and the Catholic Children's Aid Society last year. In\nmore severe instances, when it is felt that the child would be unable to benefit from\nany community setting, temporary placement in a residential treatment centre is\ndesirable, though facilities of this kind are very limited. However, cases referred\ninto the \" Esther Irwin \" and \" Seven Oaks \" homes from the Children's Aid Society\nand the Catholic Children's Aid Society and the social welfare branches in many\ninstances are given a diagnostic assessment at the Children's Clinic. Again it is\nessential that continued work be done, not only with the child, but with the parents,\nin order to assure that rehabilitation can be carried out after the residential part of\nthe treatment has been concluded.\nThe basic treatment services a community requires are foster-home and family-\ncounselling services provided by opportunity for consultation with a psychiatrist or\npsychiatric out-patient clinic which will undertake responsibility for some of the\ntreatment directly. It is only a small percentage of children who present problems\nof emotional disturbance who require 24-hour residential care. The impact of the\nout-patient and in-patient psychiatric resources together will be greatest when they\nare well integrated with other resources in the community and support their efforts.\nLast year 202 children were reported by the Children's Clinic to the Children's\n MENTAL HEALTH CENTRE I 157\nRegistry as requiring special education and (or) treatment opportunity.   The vast\nmajority of emotionally troubled children can be helped in their own homes.\nAUTISTIC CHILDREN\nOne group of disturbed children who are posing special problems of treatment\nand disposal for the Children's Clinic are those suffering from serious mental illness\nto a degree that is considered psychotic. These children are variously labelled as\n\"infantile autism\" or \"childhood schizophrenia,\" but all of them are so disabled\nthat their adjustment to normal family life is chaotic, and in most cases their admission to schools, including day schools for retarded children, is impossible. During\nthe past two to three years about forty children in whom the diagnosis of psychosis\nis certain have become known to the Children's Clinic either by direct referral or\nvia the Communicative Disorder Programme of the Health Centre for Children, and\nanother thirty to forty have been seen in whom the diagnosis is probable but not yet\nconfirmed. Some of these children are treatable, either on an out-patient basis or\nin a day or residential treatment programme, and all of these facilities will have to\nbe developed if we are to deal with the serious problems which the psychotic children\nare presenting to their families and the community. The therapeutic approach can\nbe a costly one, especially if it includes intensive psychotherapy for both child and\nparents. A residential programme with a bias toward custodial care rather than\nintensive psychiatric treatment may be justified in some cases. For those children\nwho can remain at home, an extension of the current Day Centre programme would\nseem ideal, provided transportation difficulties can be overcome and staffing maintained at a desirable level.\nDAY HOSPITAL\nThe place of a day hospital amongst the continuum of psychiatric services\ncontinues to be debated across the continent. In reviewing our experience the\nfollowing observations can be made:\u2014\n(1) The neurotic patient who requires hospitalization of any kind can, for\nthe most part, be managed in a day hospital, provided that facility is\nreasonably close to his place of residence. The patient is removed from\nhis ordinary day-to-day responsibilities without being removed from his\nfamily life. A woman so treated may need the assistance of a visiting\nhomemaker service.\n(2) The person with some residual symptoms of chronic mental illness who is\nresiding in the community may require from time to time the additional\ncare that day hospital provides in order to prevent his readmission to\nhospital. About 10 per cent of patients receiving long-term rehabilitative\ncare in the Adult Clinic require such an intensification of service at any\none time.\n(3) Patients who suffer a disturbance in personality development characterized\nby difficulty and oversensitivity in social relationships are helped to be-\n\u2022 come more proficient in their social relationships by a long-range (three\nor four months) day-hospital programme.\n(4) With the advent of renewed interest in the chronic patient and his rehabilitation by the medical staff of general hospitals, one may expect to see\nthe development of facilities which will include occupational shops and\nopportunity for social activity. To my mind, this is a step toward the\ndevelopment of the day-hospital idea for non-psychiatric patients. It may\nbe that in the future such a day-hospital facility for general hospitals\nwill provide accommodation for all patients who require rehabilitative\n'-, care.\n I 158 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\nREGIONAL SERVICES\nProvision has been made for the development of a regional mental-health centre\nfor the Okanagan Valley with headquarters at Kelowna. The policy has been declared that a series of such centres will be developed throughout the Province at\npopulation centres. This regional service is an outgrowth of the previous travelling\nclinic and will have its headquarters in the Community Health Centre at Kelowna.\nA staff of a psychiatrist, a social worker, a psychologist, a public health nurse, and\na clerk-stenographer has been provided.\nThere has been a redeployment of the previous travelling clinic service. Commencing the end of January, 1962, the travelling consultant team has gone one week\nin two months to Nelson, Trail, and Cranbrook or Kimberley in the Kootenays.\nAnother team has spent a corresponding period of time giving service to Abbotsford,\nChilliwack, and Mission in the Upper Fraser Valley. All the previous points which\nreceived service once or twice a year are now receiving twice-a-year service, and\none new point\u2014namely, Ocean Falls\u2014has been picked up for an annual visit.\nVICTORIA MENTAL HEALTH CENTRE\nPlans to augment the Child Guidance Clinic, Victoria, to provide both adult\nand children's service were implemented with the appointment of a psychiatrist and\nthe establishment of a position for a social worker. This unit will henceforth be\ncalled the \" Victoria Mental Health Centre.\" The Adult and Children's Clinics will\nshare space in the building on Superior Street until new accommodation is built.\nClose co-operation will be sought between the doctors in private practice of psychiatry, the social welfare agencies, and the public health department to co-ordinate effort\nand offer consultative assistance. Also in this matter, additional facilities are available to those patients who are under community management and those who require\nshort-term hospitalization. The new adult psychiatric team will travel one day per\nmonth to Nanaimo to work with the Medical Health Officer there, to offer consultant\nservice and to help co-ordinate existing professional resources in mental health\naccording to the pattern which has already been followed in the Upper Fraser Valley\nat Chilliwack. The latter development has been reported in the British Columbia\nMedical Journal, November, 1961, and again in Canada's Mental Health, May,\n1962.\nSTAFF DEVELOPMENT\nA weekly staff-development programme has been conducted over the noon\nhour weekly. In addition, specific projects have been undertaken to improve the\nstandards of service rendered by each professional discipline. The Psychology\nDepartment has been involved in a combined treatment and research programme\nwith a group of non-communicative, emotionally disturbed, pre-school-age children.\nThis department has also undergone reorganization under Dr. D. C. Shalman, the\nnew Chief Psychologist, and a workshop project has been undertaken to enable psychologists to familiarize themselves more thoroughly with different aspects of psychological tests, including both a critical evaluation of tests in current use and an\nevaluation and understanding of new tests as they become available. A short battery\nof psychological tests has been given every patient attending Adult Clinic, for a six-\nmonth period, as a research project to determine the possibility of developing an\ninstrument for predicting the outcome of treatment.\nThe Mental Health Centre staff and community workers for child betterment\nwere saddened this year by the premature death of Miss Marjorie Munro, former\nChief Psychologist. She was a dedicated person, and a memorial tribute is being\nestablished in her name by her friends.\n MENTAL HEALTH CENTRE\nI  159\nSTATISTICAL TABLES\nTable 1.\u2014Summary of Operations, Mental Health Centre, Adult Clinic,\nApril 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nMale\nFemale\nTotal\nTotal number pending at April 1, 1961\t\nPlus assessments\u2014\nPrevious Mental Health Services hospital services .\nCommunity health services \u2014\t\nOther institutions   \u2014\t\nFrom in-town general practitioners and other specialists .\nFrom out-of-town general practitioners  \t\nFrom in-town psychiatrists __  \t\nFrom out-of-town psychiatrists  _. \u2014.\nTotals\t\nDisposition of assessments\u2014\nHospitalization recommended \u2014\nSocial agency recommended  \t\nOther medical care recommended .\nAdvice and assessment only\t\nPatient withdrew \t\nCases opened for treatment \u2014\t\nTotal pending at March 31, 1962\nPatient load-\nBrought forward at April 1, 1961 -\t\nTotal out-patient department cases opened .\nLess out-patient department cases closed -\nTotal under treatment, March 31, 1962 .\n10\n32\n24\n13\n134\n29\n23\n255\n265\n20\n2\n18\n102\n9\n107\n76\n25\n19\n1\n240\n38\n30\n1\n354\n363\n28\n12\n13\n110\n13\n168\n172\n19\n57\n43\n14\n374\n67\n53\n1\n609\n628\n48\n14\n21\n212\n22\n275\n258\n344\n602\n7\n19\n26\n69\n107\n175\n168\n244\n275\n176\n100\n343\n171\n519\n271\n248\nFamily members under treatment at March 31, 1962:   Parents, 3;  spouses, 10;  other, 1;  total, 14.\nTable 2.\u2014Movement of Population, Out-patient Department, Mental\nHealth Centre, Adult Clinic, April 1, 1961, to March 31, 1962\nMale\nFemale\n1\nTotal\nCase load as at March 31, 1961 \u2014 \t\n69\n107\n77\n30\n100\n76\n175\n168\n131\n37\n171\n172\n244\n275\n208\n67\n271\n248\nTable 3.\u2014First Admissions to Mental Health Centre, Adult Clinic, by\nHealth Unit and School District of Residence, April 1, 1961, to\nMarch 31, 1962.\nDetailed information for the above table may be obtained on request.\n I  160\nMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT,  1961\/62\n3\nca\nOh\nX\no\noi\no\nI\nvi\na\n<\ncn\nO\nz\no\n<\nH\nz\na\nso\nas\no\nHr*\n<^\n^ o\n\u00a7:-\nZS\na S\nW   Oh\nX<\nft\nz\nw\no\nH\noi\nZ\nO\nS\nQ\n<\nH\nB3\nOS\nw\nI-l\n3\no^\nII\nftl\nft.\nftl\nft.\nS\nft.\nft.\ns\nft.\nftl\nft.\njL\nsi\ns\nft.\n.\\osomc~r~rHriTtmmmnsoOrHrHrimrtrimmci\nrirHrHmrtmsorHrirHrinnrtrnrt   j   ic^es        . <s \u25a0* \u00a9\nl m m ri Ci TH ct^m.rtrHrHrtmrtrtmrtrtrirHrHri\nM I 1 i l I j | II 1 j\ni\nI   I   !\nII!     i I\ni i r\nI    in    i m    i T-i\n[Trt      i rt m\n\u2022.
