CORRECTIONAL SYSTEMS MUST INCREASE THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE SPECIALIZED PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES TO INSTITUTIONALIZED EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED YOUTH.

Abstract

EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF SERVICES TO MEET A GROWING NEED FOR REHABILITATIVE PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT DEPENDS ON A CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM'S ABILITY TO ATTRACT MORE PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELDS OF PSYCHIATRY AND PSYCHOLOGY, AND TO DEVELOP LIAISONS WITH COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES.
