Two hundred and fifty Neighborhood Youth Corps participants experienced group counseling over a 10‐week period. Approximately half of the groups were conducted by five counselors who were supervised by a practicum instructor, and the remainder of the groups were led by unsupervised counselors. The participants in the supervised counseling groups were more positive toward their experiences than were those in the unsupervised counseling groups. The need for continuing supervisions or consultation of counselors is emphasized.

Personality differences of 71 residents in a therapeutic community drug abuse program were examined with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Successfully treated males scored significantly (p<.05) higher on scales of Hypochondriasis (Hs), Hysteria (Hy), and Masculinity-Femininity (Mf). Successfully treated females obtained a significantly (p<.05) higher score on the Social Introversion (Si) scale. Unsuccessfully treated females scored significantly (p<.05) higher than the successfully treated females on the Masculinity-Femininity (Mf) scales. Of the two-point code types, all of the 49-94 code types were unsuccessful; the largest number of successfully treated drug abusers for any one code type was in the 48-84 code type.
