This article describes some ideas, theoretical and clinical, related to group treatment of residents in a New York City homeless shelter for mentally ill persons immediately subsequent to the World Trade Center disaster. I provide details concerning this group as it dealt with community-level crises that were both acute, as they related to the World Trade Center disaster, and chronic, as they dealt with the ongoing condition of being mentally ill and homeless. I discuss my experience in the group and the ways that a synthesis of group, interpersonal psychoanalytic, and community psychology principles formed a framework for working through traumatic experiences in this community.

In recent years many institutions for offenders have adopted selected features of what has been termed the "therapeutic com munity" approach to treatment. This article describes the devel opment and implementation of a comprehensive group treatment program designed to meet the specific needs of mentally ill offenders. Vigorous efforts were made over a period of five years at Atascadero State Hospital to organize a program which com bines the skills of all personnel, the administrative structure of the hospital, and the emotional strengths of the patients into an effective treatment program for all patients.
