[The problem of the treatment of the committed in Paifve (author's transl)]

After 2 years of functioning, the Institution of Social Defence in Paifve reports on its activities. We shall be modest in our results, but see with satisfaction the climate in this House. Starting with a non-prepared personnel, we were able to train it in the live of an homogeneous and dynamic team: lectures, seminares, discussion and psychotherapy groups, frequent dialogue between personnel and direction, between personnel and committed people. All these relationships took place in a democratic way allowing people to invest the most. We can now trust the all team who has understood the aim: the resocialisation and revalorisation of the greatest possible number of patients.
