Mental health centres that assess and treat Canadian Forces members and Veterans have been experiencing an increasing number of referrals. At an Operational Stress Injury Clinic located in London, Ontario, which is mandated to treat this population, approximately half of clients are discharged within a year and another 12.1% require treatment for 5–9 years. The increasing complexities, such as multiple comorbidities, of these long-term clients reduce clinics' ability to rapidly assess and treat new clients. This article explores the decision point of whether to continue treatment or to discharge a client to a different level of care as well as how best to provide treatment while keeping care transitions in mind. Enhancing the discharge process could lead to a greater capacity for treating new referrals.

The concept of sensitive or critical periods in the context of memory development is examined in this paper. I begin by providing examples of the role of experience in influencing sensory, linguistic and emotional functioning. This is followed by a discussion of the role of experience in influencing cognitive functioning, particularly memory. Based on this discussion, speculation is offered that the infant's proclivity for novelty, which makes its appearance shortly after birth, provides critical input into a nervous system that will eventually be set up to learn and remember for the entire lifespan. Because learning and memory are fundamental to the survival of our species, those aspects of the nervous system that permit the encoding and retention of new information are remarkably malleable from the outset, even in the face of some types of neural trauma. This flexibility is retained for many years so long as the learning and memory 'system' is challenged. The implications of this model are discussed in the context of those life events that might undermine the longevity of memory systems.

PAT 101: Principles of Patronage reviews the structure, operations and results of a voluntary patronage system. It illustrates the theory of patronage by using empirical examples drawn from The University as a formal institutional structure, and from the academic and administrative operation of that institution. Patronage and educational functions are compared to show how the these two aspects of The University interact, and to document the results which follow from this interaction.
