The possibilities of rooming-in as a form of therapy for the psychic abnormal child are demonstrated on the basis of the example of a mother-child-therapy, which lasted six weeks and happened during the stay of mother and child on our station. The patient was a six year old, intellectually retarded girl with autistic behavior disturbances. The points of main effort in our therapeutical interventions were set on reaching a higher selfreliance of the patient as far as every day life-routine was concerned, further more on increasing the child's social and intellectual capabilities and on eliminating the girl's sleeping troubles. In order to reach these aims we started a training in behavior modification (operant conditioning, modeling) for mother and child. The remarkable developmental progresses of our patient are attributed most of all to the thorough efforts that were made in order to improve the abilities of the girl by modifying the contact between mother and child. Besides, the possibility of being able to use the whole day for therapy, to discuss and,--if necessary--to correct immediately the learning experiences that have been made, seems to be a great chance for reaching the appropriate forms of action and interaction in a quicker way.
以母婴治疗为例，阐述了母婴同室作为一种治疗心理异常儿童的疗法的可能性。该治疗为期六周，在母婴入住我们机构期间进行。患者是一名六岁的智力发育迟缓女孩，伴有自闭症行为障碍。我们治疗干预的主要着力点在于，就日常生活而言，让患者实现更高程度的自理，此外，提高孩子的社交和智力能力，消除女孩的睡眠问题。为实现这些目标，我们对母婴开展了行为矫正训练（操作性条件反射、示范法）。我们患者取得的显著发育进展，主要归功于为改善母婴接触以提升女孩能力所付出的巨大努力。此外，能够利用一整天进行治疗、讨论，并在必要时立即纠正已获得的学习体验，似乎是更快达成适当行为和互动形式的绝佳机会。
