Social Structure of a Psychiatric Ward for Adolescents and the Therapeutic Implications of Patient-Staff and Intra-Staff Conflicts.

Amini, Fariborz; And Others

Adolescence, v13 n51 p411-18 Fall 1978

A system of staff and patient-staff meetings was initiated to clarify the psychodynamics of ward interactions and to reduce conflicts. Observations were made on the program's effect on the therapeutic milieu. It was concluded that the program failed because the adolescent patients felt threatened by over-analysis. (SJL)
