Provides an overview of the current and future role of the 'medical model' within mental health care, seeking to locate it within the panoply of models available to explain mental health and illness and assess its merits. It considers its future role and proposes a way forward through synthesis and integration. The implications of this analysis for policy and services are assessed, concluding that we have only just started to think through the process of modernising mental health care using an integrative model.

The medical model has promoted a train-place model for psychiatric rehabilitation which carefully trains people with psychiatric disabilities on a range of skills so they can handle real-world demands before placing them in work and independent living situations. More consistent with a social work perspective are place-train programmes, which rapidly place people with psychiatric disorders in real-world settings so they can experience the benefits as well as the challenges of these situations, and then provide the necessary training and support to successfully maintain these placements. This article compares the 2 models and shows that place-train approaches can help people with serious mental illness attain many of their work and housing goals without increasing the frequency of relapse.

This text provides authoritative information that will prove to be of critical importance for disability professionals in the coming years. It covers aspects of disability that have not been well covered in the literature—issues surrounding spirituality, civil rights, and the “medical model vs. social (or minority) model” (of viewing disability) controversy. It examines the impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the wake of the Supreme Court’s narrowing of the Act’s powers and explore newly developed theories designed to more accurately define the true meaning of disability.

Studies of Geriatric Care Management Programs have had mixed results at best. Little evidence exists to attest to the effectiveness of these programs in improving patient outcomes and decreasing avoidable acute care service use. In response to these data, Kaiser Permanente's Geriatric Care Management program initiated a randomized trial to test an integrated, multifaceted depression treatment model within the care management framework and it's ability to detect and treat moderately and severely depressed older adults. This paper presents case studies of the geriatric care managers' practice changes associated with this intervention as well as case studies of two depressed clients, their experiences and outcomes associated with this study. Implications of this model are discussed.

Discusses how leisure provision for disabled people is failing to keep pace with the inclusive language of government policy. Looks at how this is denying individuals basic human right to lead as ordinary a life as the circumstances of impairment permit. Argues that his is caused by models of disability which fail to differentiate between disability and impairment. Looks at differences between the medical and social model of disability.
