Abstract

The psychiatric consultant's role in a training school is reviewed; particular attention is paid to 240 evaluations of juvenile and adolescent male delinquents. Suggestions are offered regarding a realistic and productive use of professional time in such a program: possibly the consultant's most useful function may be to train full-time personnel to treat more effectively and to participate in the correctional program with more insight.
