The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate a new approach to group therapy with senile, psychotic patients. This objective is achieved with the aid of elderly male and female patients, a group therapist and several ancillary personnel. In this presentation a group of patients is shown initially in an institutional setting at their weekly group session. As the therapist strives to bring order into a noisy chaotic session, she uses members of the group to limit each other, and motivate behavioral changes. She suggests that they assist in solving another patient's problem, and calls on one after another for their suggestions. The leader of the group is hostile, but the therapist encourages her to assume a leadership role, express her feelings, and try to cope with the behavior which bothers her. The therapist uses a gesture which physically touches the patient to reassure her. The patients are all encouraged to join the therapist in singing the group's "song". During the course of the session the patients are encouraged to interact with each other and diminish their isolation and fantasizing. The program stresses that all levels of the staff must be trained to understand the goals of the group, and the importance of the therapist in developing a meaningful relationship with the patients. As the program closes, the session ends, and some patients are seen to assist each other, and some slight changes in behavior are noted.

In this program, criminologist Joseph D. Lohman outlines probation as a special alternative to the criminal-making influences of the prison system, stating that probation can effectively replace detention; although it is considered in the public mind as a form of leniency and improperly administered it becomes “beating the rap.” Two men with criminal experience are interviewed to illustrate this alternative. Meeker and Lohman delve into the necessary requirements to make probation an instrument for controlling criminal behavior and if its potentialities for reclaiming those who have strayed outside the social role are to be used to the fullest extent.
