Residential institutions require explicit theories of institutional functioning, which incorporate an account of personal change. The theory of functioning of therapeutic communities must be related to theories of personality. It is suggested that the predominantly trait theories of personality disorder used by psychiatrists do not escape the critique of trait theories of personality in general (Mischel, 1968). Theories based upon generative rules (Argyle, 1976) seem to provide a better basis for a theory of functioning of the therapeutic community.
住宿机构需要明确的机构运作理论，其中应包含对个人改变的描述。治疗性社区的运作理论必须与人格理论相关。有人认为，精神科医生使用的以特质为主的人格障碍理论并不能避免对一般人格特质理论的批判（米歇尔，1968年）。基于生成规则的理论（阿盖尔，1976年）似乎为治疗性社区的运作理论提供了更好的基础。
