Therapeutic Milieu Day Program

The Ward Atmosphere Scale was used to assess the development of a therapeutic milieu in a clinical ward converted to a research unit at a state psychiatric hospital. The designated ward had been considered a “problem ward” with low staff moral, a high incidence of violence by patients, and high incidence of injuries to patients and staff. The scale was administered to patients and staff on two occasions. The results of the first administration were presented to staff, and from these consultation sessions, a therapeutic milieu developed. The scale was readministered 3 mo. after the implementation of the therapeutic milieu. Significant improvements were seen in staff's perception of the ward environment, incidence of patients' assaults, and staff use of seclusion and restraints.

Historians have recently tried to explain why the century-long work-reduction movement ended in the 1940s. A history of Kellogg's Six-Hour day program reveals that the loss of business and management support contributed to this demise. Mainstream corporations such as Kellogg's once thought that managed work reduction would save capitalism, and they developed a capitalist vision of freedom from work remarkably similar to recent socialist writings. But Kellogg's management reversed course and ultimately opposed the Six-Hour day. Instead they developed more conventional corporate views: that industrial progress is defined by more work for more people, that increasing the number of jobs is a primary economic goal (but not the responsibility of the individual firm), and that work can be perfected to become the most satisfying part of life.
