A GROUP THERAPEUTIC PROJECT INVOLVING A TOTAL ADMISSION WARD

Abstract

I have been concerned over what would be the most useful employment of my abilities and time to help the mental patients in our hospital meet their problems and leave the hospital. Many responsibilities keep coming to me; some are challenges I see, others are demands placed on me. And when I walk on the wards, so many of the patients ask to talk to me privately about their problems. Thus, I have become acutely aware of the need for patients to discuss and look into their own problems with someone. Also I am acutely aware of the Jack of staff to do this with them. To which of these patients can I devote my abilities and time to obtain the most useful and most immediate response?
