This paper describes the structure, composition, function and treatment methods in an adolescent unit containing 16-20 patients, at the Shalvata Psychiatric Center. Treatment is based on organizing the adolescents in a group setting with organized activities. Description of group therapy with the adolescents, their families and group sessions of the team receives special emphasis. Our objectives went beyond a symptomatic improvement and were towards strengthening and integrating the personality. Emphasis was thus placed on creating a therapeutic and educational milieu conducive to new developmental as well as corrective emotional experiences, rather than on economy in length of hospitalization and therapeutic hours invested. This demanded considerably more investment in terms of period of hospitalization and number of personnel than was the usual practice with adult patients in the hospital.
本文描述了位于沙尔瓦塔精神病中心的一个收治16至20名青少年患者的单元的结构、组成、功能及治疗方法。治疗基于将青少年组织在一个有组织活动的团体环境中。特别强调了与青少年及其家庭的团体治疗以及团队的团体会议。我们的目标不仅是症状改善，还在于强化和整合人格。因此，重点在于营造一个有利于新的发展性以及矫正性情感体验的治疗和教育环境，而非住院时间和投入治疗时间的经济性。这在住院时间和人员数量方面所需的投入比医院成年患者的常规做法要多得多。
