Dr. FX llonry Pitts, C3CS Proff, Is "Right on Target"
4 l.
if"-
f a kj
major, he became interested
in theater arts and
Ssrformed in Paul
reen plays before he knew
anything much about North
Carolina. ;
He worked a few years
as a modern dancer to
finance his graduate studies
at the .University of
Chicago. He studied there
under a well-known pyscho
logistMandel Sherman. '
Sherman, Pits explained
was ' Jewish : and perhaps
because they shared
membership in minorities,
they became good friends.
"I realize now that my
work with hint in studies of
the social backgrounds of
symptoms of mental dis
orders was responsible ulti
mately for my present inter
est in community psycholo
. gy," Pitts said.
Pitts obtained his
masters degree in 1938
and subsequently held a
number of teaching and
research posts. After an
.Interruption by World
War II, he continued
teaching and later worked
"as a clinical psychologist
at the Psychiatric Institute
of the Municipal Court of
Chicago, where he dealt
with a wide range of people
wth mental disturbances.
Services Taken to Poor
One of the strongest
points of the community
mental health approach, he
believes, is that it take
community health services
to the people who need it
most - the poor. It has
an outreach approach.
Another important aspect
of the approach, she says,
is that it works through
the systems of society (and
sometimes to change
those systems) 1 to elimin
ate some of the sources of
problems.
"Most people don't
have isolated mental
health problems,"
Pitts stated. "People
become upset over
crises of different kinds.'
Some of them are very
real nitty-gritty problems,
such as not being able to
pay their bills. You
don't have to take some
back1 to his "childhood in .
don't have to take someone
don't have to take someone
back to his childhood In
therapy to deal with those
kinds of problems.'
Pitt's advice to young
blacks who are interested
in the field of psychology
for a career is not to feel
they are starting from
behind. He says in many
ways they have a head
start.
"Ethnicity is compe
tance," Pitts affirmed.
"The involvement in a cul
ture and identification with
it is in itself 1 a
ccompetence and an advan
tage when one is working
in- human services. If's
almost a necessary plus."
He pointed out as an
example, if you're
counseling a Mexican-American
who doesn't speak
English, is it more import
ant to speak Spanish than to
be trained in
It's important, says Pitts,
that the people involved can
relate to you.
DIET AL0I1E USUALLY HOT SU7FICIEI1T TO
LOVER CHOLESTEROL LEVELS
OVII 300 36 SAYS QAYO S NCI All ST
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -Mayo
clinic physiciani have
found that putting a patient
with a blood cholesterol
level of 300 mg per 100 ml
of serum on a low cholester
ol diet usually results in a
reduction of about 10
after a period of three
months. "Because 270 mg
"is still too high," the
patients are then given drug
therapy, which becomes the
mainstay of their treatment.
Addressing a meeting of
the American Heart Associ
ation, Memphis Chapter,
P.J. Palumbo, MD, Consul
tant in Endocrinology and
Internal Medicine, Mayo
Medical School, stressed the
importance of preventing
heart disease before it
develops. "It is now clear
that early identification
and treatment of elevated
blood cholesterol reduces
the possibility of cardiovas
cular disease," Dr. Plaumbo
said. The cholesterol level
for Americans
recommended by the weft
known long-term
Framingham (Mass.) Study
is 220 mg . the
Study found that with
'cholesterol levels over 240
mg , there was a signifi
cant increase in cardiovascu
lar disease, heart attack and
jleath.
Dr. Palumbo said that
the medication recommend
ed may be colestipol or
cholestyramine-which
belong to a group of drugs
called resins or another,
called probucol, "which has
the advantage of being a
tablet taken twice a day."
Patients sometimes are
reluctant or forget to
take medications that need
to be taken several timet
a day, are inconrenient,
or are unpalatable, the
doctor explained.
He recommended that
when there at a history ot1
heart disease in a family
with a resulting death
at age 50 or younger,
youngsters under 20 should
be screened for elevated
blood lipids once during
their childhood. Between
the ages of 20 and 50,
every three to five years
is sufficient, according to
Dr. Palumbo, and from
age 50 on, screening
should be done "at the
discretion of the physician.''
Dr. Palumbo is also Asso
ciate Professor of Medicine.
Escapologist Harry Houdini's real name was Enrich Wtiss.
Dr. M. Henry Pitts, assoc. prof, of psychology at North
Carolina State University
BY LUCY COULBOURN
Dr. M. Henry Pitts, one
of North Carolina State
University's newer members
of the psychology
department, in the past has
called himself a "big
anomaly," and in the sense
that he is unique, he is right
on target.
The tall graying, pipe
smoking intellectual is
trained and experienced in
clinical psychology. Yet he
has come to question the
value of psychoanalysis in
dealing with many people
with mental disturbances
and instead, advocates a
community approach.
"The sufferings which
many times have been diag
nosed by medical people
as (mental) illness, can
really be seen as in
adequacies in a person's
development or socializa
tion," Pitts states.
Although he admits there
is a place forv clinical psy
chology and large mental
hosptials for the extreme
cases,. "WWKl'M
is mor3v - to" be done on
the community level
an outreach program which
he describes as being
more concerned with
building competencies
than with curing illness. The
approach is entirely differ
ent, he points out, since it
is more concerned with
health than illness.
Attracted By Program
Pitts, who among Yus
other appointments, has
most recently taught at Nor
folk State College and
Howard University, says he
has come to N.C. State
because of the desire of the
psychology department to
establish a community
psychology program. 1
Born in Alabama, Pitts
was reared in Chicago and
went to grade school one
block from the University
of Chicago where he
attended graduate school
and earned his PhJD. j in
clinical psychology. ' !
At 16, he entered the
University of Illinois I at
' Urba. . Although Je. wajs a
