Abstract

CONTEMPORARY RESEARCH IN PSYCHOTHERAPY, MOOD CHANGING DRUGS, BRAIN SURGERY, AND CONDITIONING IS OUTLINED, AND THE USE OF THESE TECHNIQUES IS RECOMMENDED FOR CORRECTIONAL WORK. SINCE MORE ADVANCED CONTROL METHODS ARE PROLIFERATING, THE AUTHOR CALLS FOR STUDIES ON THE LEGAL, MEDICAL, AND PRACTICAL PROBLEMS WHICH WILL ARISE IN THEIR APPLICATION TO CORRECTION SYSTEMS.
