Abstract

The staff on the maximum-security unit at Milwaukee Psychiatric Hospital have successfully initiated behavior modification programs for selected teen-age patients in a setting that is geared to individual psychotherapy. Nurses and aides, who previously had little involvement with the patients, now play a primary role in shaping behavior. They are especially enthusiastic about the rapid behavior changes that have been brought about.
