The "hard core" group of chronically hospitalized mental patients still fill most hospital beds, and are not participants in the current upsurge in discharge rates. Target areas for rehabilitation of this population are suggested on the basis of a review of institutional studies within an interactional framework. A review of institutional treatment research suggests that "milieu" and "social learning" approaches, combined with special community aftercare procedures, offer the greatest promise for the future. Both approaches appear sufficiently promising to call for controlled comparative investigations. A program combining features of both milieu and social learning approaches is suggested for the interim.

The acute administration ward as a therapeutic community

1982

The authors evaluated six acute short-stay admission wards in a community mental health center using the sociometric Ward Atmosphere Scale. There was an attempt to run three of the six wards as therapeutic communities. No differences were found on Ward Atmosphere Scale dimensions between the therapeutic communities and other types of programs, nor did the therapeutic communities conform to an empirically derived therapeutic community program dimension profile. Possible reasons for this failure and its implications for community mental health centers are discussed.

In 1954 a programme of “occupation and liberalization” was started at this hospital. Attempts to assess this programme were made and have been reported (Clark and Hoy, 7; Clark and Oram, 8). As a result of these surveys, we possess a complete list of the male patients in the hospital in October 1954 and February 1961, showing the work they were doing at these times; many men's names appear in both lists. This paper reports the analysis of these lists and some interesting facts that emerged.
