ABSTRACT

Starting with the pitfalls of milieu therapy—I may be in one myself as I am sitting in front of you! The pitfall I see right away is that some of you may think, with my long and perhaps unique experiences, I am going to tell you how to make very difficult children turn well-behaved, or by some kind of miracle turn a wild boy into a tame one. If for one moment I would allow you to believe that, it would be a very bad pitfall indeed! It is obviously not possible.
