A REPORT ON A REHABILITATION PROGRAM FOR 339 DELINQUENT AND ANTISOCIAL BOYS AT ROCKLAND STATE HOSPITAL, NEW YORK, IS PRESENTED. |
| |
|
| Abstract: |
THE BASIC COMPONENTS OF THE PROGRAM WERE: 1) PROGRAMMED INTERACTION THERAPY (PIT) IN A TWO-PERSON SITUATION; 2) A LESS FORMALLY PROGRAMMED GROUP SITUATION; 3) THE SHELTERED WORKSHOP; 4) CLASSROOM EDUCATION; AND 5) TRANSITIONAL PROGRAMS LEADING TO PLACEMENT. A PIT DIAGNOSTIC INTERVIEW HELPED IN DESIGNING THERAPY FOR PARTICULAR ADJUSTMENT PROBLEMS. TEMPERAMENTAL DISORDERS WERE SEEN AS REVERSIBLE STATES, PROVIDED THERAPY DEALT WITH THE PARTICULAR STRESS TO WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL WAS VULNERABLE AND THE SPECIFIC REACTION PATTERN HE EXHIBITED. IMPROVEMENTS IN EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT OR WORKSHOP PERFORMANCE FOLLOWED IMPROVEMENT IN THE TEMPERAMENTAL DISORDER BEING TREATED IN PIT. REFERENCES AND A DISCUSSION OF COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS AND EVALUATION IN PROGRAMMED INTERACTION THERAPY ARE APPENDED. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED). |
