“…Further, the interventions were not individualized as is usually the case with behavior therapy. Important to note is that the study on skills training (Armstrong et al, 1991) examined adherence as one of many dependent variables. The primary thrust of this study was treatment efficacy.…”

“…Tangible incentives (Carey & Carey, 1990), skills training (Armstrong, Cox, Short, & Allmon, 1991), and ''monitoring and feedback'' (Elixhauser et al, 1990) were examined. With the exception of the tangible incentives intervention, however, exactly how the interventions under study were to improve attendance was not made clear.…”

“…Two decades later, Armstong et al compared a psycho-educational ward with a 'traditional psychiatric milieu', by which they meant a group therapy approach which encouraged informal social interaction (Armstrong, Cox et al 1991). They describe the latter as based on therapeutic community principles, using a socialization milieu to encourage social learning from informal interactions, a supportive and accepting environment, with informal outings and social contact between formal activities, volunteering for chores, and self-help skills building.…”

Purpose. The paper provides an overview of the application of therapeutic community (TC) method in non-TC environments. Approach. Milieu treatment is defined and differentiated from TC 'proper'. Literature is reviewed covering attempts to use TC methods in inpatient wards, across hospitals, and more recently in the criminal justice system and more widely through the enabling environments initiative. Findings. It is unclear whether TC milieu treatments proved helpful in acute ward environments in their heyday in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, in particular those involving people suffering from acute psychosis, and the changing landscape of psychiatric provision may make further investigation difficult. The reasons for this, and for the difficulties reaching a firm conclusion, are outlined. In contrast, TC milieu interventions appear to be demonstrating usefulness more recently in less mixed populations without the implementation of full TC 'proper'. Limitations. Much of the original research is old and the methodology poor, which limits the conclusions that can be drawn. Practical implications. Recent innovations pick up in a more accessible way principles of therapeutic communities that can inform and improve care in a variety of contexts. They are sufficiently well defined to lend themselves to research, which should now be a priority.

“…The clinical view that they defended, in order to protect the old model, was the belief that rehabilitation was equivalent to devaluing relationships (Mosher & Burti, 1992). Since relationships with clients, as expected from a psychotherapeutic milieu (Armstrong et al, 1991), had always been the emphasis of the agency, this idea became a stumbling block in creating a new treatment model. However, many other staff felt the need for change, but could not conceptualize a direction.…”

This paper describes a transition that took place in a community based mental health agency from a program that provided nearly all services for its clients to one that provides flexible opportunities and supports individual choices. Early on in the transitional process, the agency committed itself to using the psychosocial rehabilitation approach as a foundation for assisting recovery. This approach survived the challenge of providing a philosophy for an agency that was determined to change both its residential and day treatment programming. A description of the transition process and its achievements are described in this article.
