Extract

The following report is about the procedure which was developed to involve school young people with mental hospital personnel, and the transactions between people in multiple organizations involved with this are described. Youth volunteers working in a mental hospital were making some sort of impact which seemed worth looking at in more detail with the various people involved to seek meaning in a phenomenon. The working relationship of a hospital-based Voluntary Services Organizer (J.L.) and a Consultant Psychiatrist (T.L.) is portrayed.
