This text was David Millard's departing gift to a field to which he had contributed for 30 years, as practitioner and later as Lecturer in Applied Social Studies and editor of the . Charting the chronology of Maxwell Jones's career as a world-renowned psychiatrist and therapeutic community pioneer, Millard contrasts Jones's contribution at Mill Hill with Tom Main's at Northfield. Jones's most distinctive contribution was allowing patients to become auxiliary therapists and freeing nurses from the nursing hierarchy. Focusing on a subset of therapeutic communities in adult psychiatry, Millard's paper is not an academic history of therapeutic communities as such. The roles of happenstance and positive deviance are demonstrated in the way change occurs in therapeutic communities. The 'charisma question' is briefly explored.
这篇文章是 David Millard 留给自己耕耘了 30 年的领域的临别礼物，他曾以从业者和后来的应用社会研究讲师的身份为该领域做出贡献，同时也是《. 》的编辑。本文描绘了 Maxwell Jones 作为世界知名精神科医生和治疗社区先驱的职业生涯的时间顺序，David Millard 将 Jones 在 Mill Hill 的贡献与 Tom Main 在 Northfield 的贡献进行了对比。Jones 最显著的贡献是允许患者成为辅助治疗师，并将护士从护理层级中解放出来。本文聚焦于成人精神病学中的治疗社区子集，因此并不是治疗社区的学术历史。在治疗社区发生变化的过程中，偶然和积极偏差的作用得到了体现。“魅力问题”也得到了简要探讨。
