| Abstract: |
The article presents a study to describe the results of the application of directive therapy in a treatment program instituted in a State operated correctional institution for female juvenile delinquents. One year's experience in segregating the most serious behavior disorders in a population of female juvenile delinquents and the use of directive psychotherapy with both individuals and groups is described. Some of the characteristics of the group, the rationale of the procedure, the technique used, and the results are given. |
