Differ ent addicts need different kinds of help.
An important film:
"Building a Drug Abuse Program."
Dr. Jerome H. Jaffe served as director of an Illinois
state program designed to help addicts help
themselves. In this film, made prior to his ap-
pointment as head of the White House Special
Action Office for Drug Abuse Prevention, Dr. Jaffe
describes this successful individualized self-help
approach, which utilizes three different treatment
modalities- methadone maintenance, standard
hospital withdrawal and aftercare, and residence
in a therapeutic community. The addict chooses
a treatment modality, but may switch to or add
others based on his individual needs.

Delegates adopt marihuana statement
The House of Delegates of the
American Medical Association late
Wednesday approved a proposal that
on one hand, prohibits the public use
of marihuana, while on the other,
recommends that "personal posses-
sion of insignificant amounts of that
substance be considered at most a
misdemeanor with commensurate
penalties applied."
The action came after a debate of
more than 30 minutes over a refer-
ence committee report which, among
other things, stipulated the use of
marihuana should not be considered
a criminal act.
The approved wording was the re-
sult of an amendment offered by
William F. Quinn, MD, Los Angeles,
a delegate from California. His
amendment recommended that:
"This AMA House of Delegates
does not condone the production,
sale or use of marihuana. It does,
however, recommend that the per-
sonal possession of insignificant
amounts of that substance be con-
sidered at most a misdemeanor with
commensurate penalties applied. It
also recommends its prohibition for
public use; and that a plea of mar-
ihuana intoxication should not be a
defense in any criminal proceeding."
The debate elicited heated com-
ment at times. One delegate called
the Quinn amendment "wishy-
washy" and suggested that it in-
vited the continued use of mar-
ihuana. Another argued the House
should confine itself to the medical
aspects of the situation and leave
the legal issue to state legislatures.
Among those who supported the
amendment were the representa-
tives from the Student American
Medical Association and the new
section of House Staff Officers.
Rural Health
The AMA renewed its strong com-
mitment to increase the availability
of medical services in rural and
medically underserved areas.
The House, which reconvenes at
9 a.m. today, endorsed reports from
its Councils on Rural Health and
Health Manpower outlining means
of increasing the availability of
health care in rural areas; and re-
affirmed its support of a "Project
U.S.A." to help locate and recruit
physician volunteers for the National
Health Service Corps.
The delegates also reaffirmed their
"that would, in effect, draft physi-
cians for the provision of civilian
health care."
The Project U.S.A. concept was
originally approved in 1969 as a
"domestic version of Project Viet-
nam," the Association's program to
recruit volunteer physicians to help
provide medical care to Vietnamese
civilians.
In reaffirming the project, dele-
gates directed that the AMA, as a
public service, would provide the
profession with pertinent informa-
tion, respond to inquiries from phy-
sicians, maintain data on applications
and assignments, and physician re-
actions to the program before and
after service with the NHSC.
FAA ruling supported
Transfer of medical certification of
airline pilots from present Aviation
Medical Examiners to physicians de-
signated by airlines and approved by
the Federal Aviation Administration
was supported by the House, which
described the new FAA rule as an
important step in the interest of pub-
lic safety.
Tax credits backed
To encourage physicians to locate
in disadvantaged areas, the House
passed a resolution actively support-
ing national and state legislation to
grant income tax credits to medical
practices established in shortage
areas.
The reference committee said it
"is aware there are many factors in-
volved in determining a physicians
practice location and that financial
remuneration is not paramount. Nev-
ertheless, because of the need for ser-
vices in shortage areas, we believe,
it is advisable to suggest financial
incentives."
Catastrophic coverage
The House reaffirmed its support
of catastrophic health insurance cov-
erage, but indicated that any such
federally-financed program should
not be freestanding. Instead, the re-
solution said, catastrophic coverage
should be related to provisions for
comprehensive health benefits,
"Physician ' defined
The House adopted this definition
of a physician:
"A person who, having been reg-
ularly admitted to a medical school
duly recognized in the country in
which it is located, has successfully
studies in medicine and has acquired
the requisite qualifications to be
legally licensed to practice medi-
cine."
No platform required
A proposal that those seeking AMA
elective offices present platforms
when announcing their candidacies
was rejected by the House, which
noted that "with very few excep-
tions, candidates for high office are
well-known to the majority of mem-
bers of this House. In addition, visi-
tation by candidates to delegates
caucuses and other direct contacts
provide members of the House with
an understanding of the candidates'
views on important issues."
Poll commended
The House commended the recent
membership poll, and suggested that
future polls may be submitted both
to member and to non-member phy-
sicians. Results of the poll, an-
nounced to the House on Sunday,
showed that an overwhelming num-
ber of physicians want the AMA to
continue to seek to retain the basic
principles of private practice in any
government health program that
might be enacted.
The two-page questionnaire,
mailed to 177,882 non-federally em-
ployed members of the AMA, drew
94,035 responses, a 52.9% return.
In addition, the poll was sent to a
random sample of 4,500 members
(including federal physicians) and a
random sample of 3,000 non-mem-
bers of the AMA to test sampling
techniques as a possible tool_for use
in future opinion surveys.
Gun Control
The House supported strict en-
forcement of existing laws relating
to the illegal use of firearms.
A lively debate began with con-
sideration of a resolution from the
Ohio delegation calling for the AMA
to support legislation providing for
mandatory jail sentences for those
found guilty of committing or threat-
ening to commit a misdemeanor in-~i
volving the use of a firearm.
Following the debate, delegates
approved a substitute resolution
from Michigan calling on the AMA
to "express its strong abhorrence
and continued opposition to the use
of a firearm or any weapon in the
commission of a crime and
urge the enforcement of strict pen-

y the District of Columbia urgin
he AMA to support national gun
ontrol legislation. The reference
ommittee indicated and several
elegates agreed that the resolution
ailed to spell out what specific con-
rols are envisioned.
AMA Activities
A report by the AMA executive
ice president describing the Asso-
iation's activities and programs has
een called the "finest summary ever
eported" and deserving of wide
ublicity.
The House said the detailed docu-
ent "should provide an excellent
ehicle far membership recruitment
s well as an instrument of positive
ublic relations."
"At a time when the Association is
ubjected to accusations of inactivi-
y," the House noted, "it is especially
mportant to remind professionals at
arge and the public of the many
ositive contributions being made by
he AMA for the betterment of the
ublic health."
In commending Ernest B. Howard,
D, AMA executive vice president,
nd the 1,000 employees under his
irection in the Association's Chica-
o headquarters for "a job well
one," the reference committee noted
hat, "in our accumulated evidence
n the House of Delegates, we have
etected no evidence of deteriorating
toff morale."
The committee added that, "In re-
ponse to Dr. Howard's invitation,
ur query on this subject to AMA
toff members at the convention
eads us to conclude that the AMA
s fortunate to be served by such a
edicated, loyal, and enthusiastic
toff."
Miscellaneous
In other action, the House:
? Requested the Council en Indus-
rial Health to study the require-
ents made under the Occupational
afety and Health Act, with particu-
ar reference to passible discrimina-
ion against physicians anal other
mall employers.
? Encouraged individual physi-
ians and authorized spokesmen far
omponent societies of the AMA to
ontinue to speak out on public is-
ues. Such activity should be con-
idered "proper and ethical," the
elegates said.
? Opposed the establishment of a
ew National Institute of Gerontolo-
y. Noting that the existing National
nstitutes of Child Health and Hu-
an Development already provide
any of the programs envisioned.
~a~iris; ~~X61 ~O~~14tl~i~ny ther
new institute would further frag-
ment the national health effort, and
that the formation of a separate in-
stitute would not necessarily achieve
the objectives stated."
? Stipulated that resolutions to the
AMA be submitted in sufficient time
prior to each Annual and Clinical
Convention so that summaries of all
"available" resolutions can be pub-
lished in American Medical News
one month prior to the Annual and
Clinical Conventions.
? Referred to the Board of Trus-
tees and its Committee on Maternal
and Child Care for further study the
national organizations at the conclu-
sion of the March AMA Congress on
the Quality of Life. The reference
committee noted that although "it
takes no issue with the laudable in-
tentions of the declaration, it finds
the language in certain sections con-
troversial." Singled out was the dec-
laration's concluding paragraph stat-
ing, "We dedicate ourselves to an
interdependent effort to achieve for
each American child his basic in-
alienable right: A Life of Quality."
Many MDs were concerned, the com-
mittee noted, that physcians could
not "guarantee" such a right.

Counseling is
`fundamental'
Counseling in depth is a funda-
mental part of patient care, speakers
said at a symposium Tuesday morn-
ing sponsored by the section on
Family and General Practice.
Gerald. Egelston of Pearl River,
N, Y., said a common denominator of
good family practice is counseling
but he warned that such counseling
is "fraught with risk."
Nonetheless, Egelston emphasized
that counseling affords one of the
best ways of meeting the public's ex-
pectations. "The public," he said,
"wants a doctor with empathy, They
want to respect a doctor, Without
that respect, a physician's practice is
obfuscated."
"Friendlicare," said Egelston, "best
describes the good office of the family
physician and the people need you
{the physicians), not your nostrums."
Adequate premarital counseling
and examination are of primary im-
portance, in the opinion of Joseph B.
Trainer, MD, of Portland, Ore. Ac-
cording to Dr. Trainer:
"A GOOD premarital examination
program will meet a real need of the
more than two million couples who
marry each year. It can substantially
reduce the trauma of post-marital
adjustments, and give the couple a
natural focal point to bring their
inevitable problems."
Dr. Trainer advocated a series of
five one-hour appointments spread
over at least three months of time
before the wedding. This includes
four visits before the wedding, and
one after. "The feedback from 20
years of doing this kind of examina-
tion," he said, "convinces me it is
one of the most worthwhile and satis-
fying aspects of medical practice. I
am certain that the good, in terms of
satisfactory marriages, is far out of
proportion to the time originally
spent."
In discussing counseling of the
confused child and problem parent,
Beverley T. Mead, MD, Omaha, said
physicians can do much by early
recognition of a problem child than
hours of treatment might do later,
But at the same time, he warned that,
in such cases, physicians should pay
more attention to the parents and
the patterns that exist within the
family.
DR. MEAD said that when prob-
lem children are brought in for treat-
ment there usually exists an atmo-
sphere of antagonism between the
child and his parents. The doctor's

nderstand the problem, and not be
ontending against one another.
Marriage affects health and health
ffects marriage and if a physician
's involved with the one he is "in-
scapably" involved with the other,
ccording to David R. Mace, PhD, of
inston-Salem, N.C., who discussed
ounseling patients with marital
roblems.
Where such counseling is con-
erned, Dr. Mace said all physicians
hould be able to:
? Identify a marital problem
hick is related to a patient's illness.
? Be able to give effective first-
id if a marital crisis is confronted.
? Be able to refer marriage prob-
ems to other competent profes-
ionals who can provide the time and
kill to deal with the problems.
~;dward ~J. Kowalewski, MD, profes-
sor and head of the division of family
practice ~~t the U. of Maryland School
of Medicine, declared, "counseling is
an equal tool required as part of the
total therapy. Frequently, it is the
difference between partial and com-
plete success in any therapy."
"I bel:ieve," Dr, Kowalewski con-
cluded, ?`that we as physicians, by
virtue of our close and continual in-
volvement with families and individ-
uals, should develop an on-going un-
derstancling of a patient or a family's
philosophies and principles, so that
in time of need, we can assume more
of the burden of decision-making. I
am not talking about the physician
playing god, I am talking about
the physician's role as a responsible
counselor."
