Evaluating Treatment Environments describes how to assess the
quality of psychiatric and substance abuse programs and how to use
that information to monitor and improve these programs. Its aim is
to identify environments that promote opportunities for personal
growth, simultaneously enhancing both physical and psychological
well-being. Although treatment programs are diverse, Moos asserts
that a common conceptual framework can be used to evaluate them,
and more emphasis should be placed on the process of matching
personal and program factors and on the connections between such
matches and patients' outcomes. The book is divided into three main
parts. Part I focuses on hospital programs, using a sample of 160
programs throughout the United States. Part II evaluates community
programs. Moos describes how to monitor and improve these programs,
and assesses program implementation. Part III considers treatment
environments, examining factors that shape the treatment
environment, patients' satisfaction with and participation in
program activities, patients' adaptation and community living
skills, and patient-program congruence and the influence of
treatment environments on patients with different levels of
impairment. It also highlights the importance of the health care
workplace and its impact on staff and the treatment environment.
Treatment programs vary substantially in their policies and
services, especially in what they expect of clients, rules about
clients' daily life choices, and to what extent clients must be
governed by the program, and whether or not the programs provide
health and treatment services. Comparison studies are becoming more
important as clients move more quickly from acute in-patient to
community residential care. Moos stresses the need to pay special
attention to how programs and services affect clients when
conducting evaluations. Evaluating Treatment Environments will be a
necessary addition to the libraries of mental health service
professionals, as well as sociologists, psychiatrists,
psychologists, and social workers.
