Theoretical Considerations

Residential treatment for disturbed, particularly delinquent, adolescents has been described several decades ago by the founders and leaders of institutions. Theoretical considerations in treatment were prominent. The importance of structured milieu and the control of aggression came to acquire recognition. This study describes a structured centre, known to be effective in treating disturbed delinquents, using data gathered over twelve years of clinical work, observation and research. Factors considered essential in defining this institution are isolated and made compatible with the factors indicated by Rutter in his review of the residential treatment of delinquents. These factors are being used in a further study which compares the effectiveness of different types of facilities for a range of diagnostic categories.

Preliminary Study

There is a growing emphasis upon psychiatric involvement in management of ‘non-sensical’ shop-lifters, those who steal items they neither want nor need However there is very little description of, or research into, psychological treatment approaches for this group of clients. We report a preliminary study of the process of therapy in two out-patient psychotherapy groups for female ‘nonsensical’ shop-lifters. Therapeutic factors in the group psychotherapy were evaluated using the method of Bloch et al. (1979) to assess the most important event in therapy. Results from nine subjects indicate that universality (realizing that one's problems are not unique) was rated as the most important aspect of therapy, with self-understanding the second most important. The implications of these findings for future provision and facilitation of therapy for this group of clients are discussed.
