[The "community meeting" in a therapeutic community (author's transl)]. 1980

P Kindts, and S Verhaest

This article explores the aim, structure, direction modalities, the role and intervention of the staff in a 'community meeting'. Problems related to large group phenomena, course, contents and dynamics of that meeting are also studied. We conclude that 'community meeting' is a difficult but indispensable meeting in a therapeutic community. It is the place where the different therapeutic activities of the community can be integrated and where a therapeutic culture can be developed.
