Extract

The term ‘therapeutic community’ has been increasingly employed in recent years. The W.H.O. Report (1953) used it to describe a general approach of Freedom, Activity and Responsibility—a humane, liberal approach marked by full occupation, open doors, active rehabilitation programmes and increased community involvement—repeating and developing many of the features of the ‘moral treatment’ of the early nineteenth-century (Rees, 1957). This has now been widely adopted in Britain, U.S.A. and in Western Europe.
