Extract

Therapeutic community principles have in recent years become increasingly and often enthusiastically applied. They have also attracted an extensive literature, including, among many, studies by Maxwell Jones (1952 and 1962), Cumming and Cumming (1962), and the contributions to two symposia: in Boston, edited by Greenblatt, Levinson, and Williams (1957) and in this country by Freeman (1965).
