This paper examines the role of ideology in the establishment of a new therapeutic community for geriatric patients in a state mental hospital. Contradictory role expectations, reflected both in staff-staff and in staff-patient relationship, interfered with the program's achieving its stated goals. In order to apply a humanistic approach to programs for elderly patients, realistic goals-encompassing the range of patient competence-must be set within a reasonable time framework, and the program must provide for an appropriate range of structure.
本文探讨了意识形态在一家州立精神病院为老年患者建立新的治疗社区过程中所起的作用。员工之间以及员工与患者之间关系中所反映出的相互矛盾的角色期望，干扰了该项目实现其既定目标。为了将人文主义方法应用于老年患者项目，必须在合理的时间框架内设定涵盖患者能力范围的现实目标，并且该项目必须提供适当范围的架构。
