Abstract:
Empirical comparisons of priorities of consumers and educators in university-based programmes in psychiatry, psychiatric nursing and social work are described. Data resulted from a Q-sort of 200 objectives for mental health education. The results of the tests of validity and reliability of the instrument are described, followed by a discussion of the similarities and differences among the four samples of subjects: consumers and educators in the three mental health professions. Suggestions for applications of this methodology by inter- and intradisciplinary service providers are described.
