Internal-external control and withdrawal AMA from an alcohol rehabilitation program.

Male and female alcoholics who were participating in an in-patient rehabilitation program were given the Rotter internal-external control scale in order to determine whether there were differences between those who leave against medical advice vs. those who complete treatment. It was anticipated that AMA patients would have significantly higher scores than completers. The hypothesis was given some support for males (p less than .06) and was not supported for females. Males and younger patients also were more inclined to leave against medical advice.

The stimulation of insight and self-awareness through body-movement exercise.

The results suggest that even a brief body-movement experience can enhance understanding and self-awareness among normal students in a classroom setting. It may be that exercises could be used in other areas of learning or exploration. These completely noverbal activities may have the same beneficial effects as role-playing, with respect to increasing insight and self-awareness.

Operant approaches to group therapy in a school for handicapped children.

In order to determine the effectiveness of operant approaches to group therapy with children with cerebral palsy or mental retardation, four boys aged between 4 years 10 months and 5 years 7 months were given a total of 23 twice-weekly 30-minute treatment sessions. After treatment there was considerably improvement in the children's attention-to-tasks and they showed some increase in social interactions, though to a lesser degree. Teacher ratings also showed some improvement in classroom behavior.
