Psychiatric Day Treatment

Social reinforcement provided by staff was made contingent upon bringing folders to class in a psychoeducationally oriented psychiatric day treatment program. Compliance was readily fostered by this approach. It was concluded that assumptions regarding the unamenability of psychiatric populations to social reinforcement are unwarranted. Research implications of this finding for psychoeducationally oriented psychiatric treatment programs are discussed.

Delinquent Boys

To improve on the intake criteria in a day-treatment program for delinquent boys, data were collected from boys attending the program to differentiate those who seemed to be appropriately placed from those who were not. The data significantly differentiated these groups on the basis of length and degree of social maladjustment. The need for matching the type of delinquent and the treatment program was discussed.

Day Treatment Program

Behaviorally disordered adolescents are a heterogeneous group. Determining which students enrolled in particular treatment programs are likely to be successful is a difficult task. This retrospective follow-up systematically investigated behaviorally disordered youth and identified factors associated with successful completion of a comprehensive residential and day treatment program. Results suggest that, for the 70 subjects studied, attendance, day or residential status, and prior adjudication were related to treatment outcomes. A dditionally, for a subset of 34 subjects directly interviewed and assessed at follow-up, measures of academic achievement were unrelated to outcomes.
