Continued from page one The second most frequent myth about mental illness accordin to Mr Katz is that it is not euro 10 and that the victim may never again lead normal and useful life That is simply not true Like any other illness if it is detected at an early stage the chances of curing it are far better in good modernmenta1 hospitals 50 percent of the incoming patients will have the opportunity of re turning home within four to 12 months gt Another myth is that its shameful thing not to be talked about in public something to be hid that the mentally ill per son has an immoral character or weak character This latter myth is socially harmful and impedes ef forts to organize program to deal with it Because of it many people who need treatment for an emo tional disturbance will not go to psychiatrist They feel that the psychiatrist is for the degenerate person and person in extremely bad shape These myths are paid for at rather high cost pointed out the speaker We spend 34 million doi lars year for mental hospitals and treatment Another 500 million dol lars is lost in wages and productiv ity Perhaps great amount is lost in hidden costs One of these hid den costs is the social assistance given to families of the mentally ill Myths About Social Workers The second series of myths at tacked by Mr Katz are those existing about soolal workers Among this whole raft of folklore he listed the general lnyth that the social workeris peculiar type of person ineVitobly pictured as drab shrivelled spin ster humorless and carrying around basket giving out food to the poor 21 person who lives on the gra titude of others She has no life of her own therefore she is work ing out her frustrations living off other peoples lives The only lower type of person than the fe trapshootersrrChang the Chinese male social workerls thc 112 social worker This concept of the socialworker is little outofdate he statedlt might have been alright 50 years ago but the whole field ofsocial servicesahd the people who operate them has changed The social wor ker today is skilled social scient ist just as the doctor lawyer dent ist or anygothcr professional per son The myths about social workers portray them as extremelygbossy eople directing peoples livej uoted Mr Katz Their whole job is to explain to people in language they cant understand that they dont need what they do need He pointed out thatno help is given unleSs it is asked foror wanted aaa= that there lino meddlingrlhe social worker will serve the family only where the family wants those services The whole philosophy of social work is to give help is wanted Referring briefly to help where public ropin he meets butside Mr Kai declared that the curb all and panacea suggested for these antisocial children

activity he stated it is not enough to provide swimming pools ping pong tables we have to supply skilled case workers to bring these outcasts into healthy happy group life Old Age Myths Mr Kalzs last group of social myths were those which he be lieved exist regarding old age One in 13 people today is 65 years of age or over he stated and the ra tio would increase Heres prob lem with future we are be coming nation of old people One of the myths about old age which he cited is that when you become 60 or 65 your usefulness suddenly ends Employment polic ics of some industries automatic ally retire it man because hohas reached certain age limit Older people have hard time getting job but he stated it has been proved time and time agaln that old people can continue to do good job for many many years This myth is one that causes great deal of personal hardship and suffering he declared And the nation certainly suffers by de creased productivity Commends Childrens Aid Commending the very fine work being done in Simcoe County by the Childrens Aid Society the speaker said that in his recent trav els across Canada the had found certain futility among social groups working among families andchiid rcn They wondered how the spend ing of thousand of dollars on case work etc could be justified when they were working through most critical period With living costs rising and their world threatened by foreign ideologies Never before has it been so im portant that organizations suchas the Childrens Aid Society continue to function and even more expand their services MOrc than ever be fore child needs some oasis of security No matter what is hap pening in the outside world child can live through it as long as he has that harbor of security in his fam ily Come what may as long as children arb staying with their fam ilies and getting along with them they are not disturbed The speaker was introduced by Terry OBrien social worker with the Centre Simcoe branch of the county
