Patients counseled without fear
Microcomputers helping shrinks
United Press International
NEW YORK — Very few peo
ple can sit before a psychiatrist
or a psychologist and answer
questions about themselves
without appearing nervous or —
in some cases-—justifiably para
noid.
Now there may be an another
way to assess one’s skills and
identify one’s problems without
having to deal directly with the
stern man or woman who sits
behind the big desk and wears
the somber vest.
Enter the microcomputer.
Many health and career spe
cialists are using computerized
testing systems that measure ev
erything from a person’s intelli
gence to his fear of loud noises
or his hatred of his boss. And
those who administer the tests
claim there is a very high rate of
accuracy with the computerized
procedures and a high accept
ance of the machines by the test
takers.
“Patients are getting better
faster. Our studies show that re
cidivism (tendency to relapse) is
down, that is, patients are get
ting the testing they need in the
shortest amount of time and are
getting more treatment,” said
Dr. James H. Johnson, a Balti
more psychologist who markets
computerized tests under the
name of Psychsystems.
“There are prescribed
amounts of times for average
cases determined by insurance
companies and others. For ex
ample, 21 days are usually re-

commended for a particular
psychological problem but, 14
days of that time are usually
used for testing. Now with the
computer, in three or four days
all the testing can be completed
and the clinician can use the rest
of the time for the therapy,”
Johnson said.
Some of the standard tests
available by computer include
the Minnesota Multiphasic Per
sonality Inventory, the Person
ality Inventory for Children, the
Social History inventory, the
Career Assessment System, the
Intellectual Screening Battery,
the Rorschach Interpreter, the
Beck Depression and Hopeless
ness Scale, the Index of Somatic
Problems and several others.
The computerized tests are
sold only to licensed clinicians
and are designed to be given as a
complete battery of tests to eli
minate any chance of error or
any chance of overlooking a
potential health problem.
The tests themselves are not
new. They have been updated
and revised but are based on
standard psychological invem
tories.
“Most therapists have used
these tests since they first began
practice and are extremely
familiar with them. But for the
first time, they can get the re
sults almost instantaneously and
faster than ever before,” John
son said. What about security?
What protects the average per
son from having some clever
computer thief or unscrupulous
collection agency from having a
complete file on their secret
fears and flaws?
“The clinician takes the same
kind of security with the compu
ter memory that he does if the
tests were on paper. Besides, our
programs are sold to clinicians
as a package with a computer
that most keep in their own
offices. Those who use large
computers have built-in, ex
tremely tight security measures
to keep the data as sacrosanct as
any other medical information,”
Johnson said.
Johnson and other therapists
said the tests have several mea
sures to indicate whether a per
son is telling the truth or is too
nervous to answer the questions
honestly.
Also, they said, like most
psychology tests, they are only
used in conjunction with per
sonal evaluation interviews.
China has
its version
of Coke
United Press International
PEKING — A year after Coca
Cola set up a bottling plant in
Peking, China says it has pro
duced a “Cola of the Heavens”
that not only tastes like The Real
Thing, but also has medicinal
value.
A researcher at the China
Medicinal Herb Co. was quoted
in a Peoples Daily article Satur
day as saying the Chinese herbal
cola is similar in taste and color
to Coca Cola and also has dis
ease-preventive, therapeutic
and nutritious qualities.
“For these reasons, this soft
drink is a strong competitor” on
the market in the approaching
summer months, the researcher
said.
The Chinese version of Coke
is marketed in different parts of
the country under different
names.
It is called “Cola of the
Heavens” in Sichuan province
because of the mountains there.
In the scenic lake country of
Hangzhou, the soft drink is
named “West Lake Cola.” In
Canton it’s “Healthy Cola.”
The China Medicinal Herb
Co. is behind it all, organizing
affiliated local units to produce
the drink.
The herbal cola already has
been tested on 18,000 foreign
tourists. Some West German
visitors who tried the “Cola of
the Heavens” in Sichuan re
ported no appreciable differ
ence from Coke, the Peoples
Daily said.
The chief ingredient of the
Chinese cola is an herb derived
from a variety of Chinese peony,
whose scientific name is paeonia
lactflora. Its curative values are
said to include the prevention of
blood clots, resistance to bacteria
and infection, and it is sup
posedly good for the liver.
