PHASES OF THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS SUMMARIZED AND THE EFFECTS OF BEHAVIORAL CLASSIFICATION TREATMENT ANALYZED.
Abstract
THE DIAGNOSTIC CENTER USES THREE SOURCES OF INFORMATION TO HELP STUDENTS-MEDICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND PSYCHIATRIC. EARLY EVIDENCE OF THE IMPACT OF THE PROGRAM ON COMMITMENT RATES, RECIDIVISM, AND SERVICE TO THE STATE IS GIVEN. BEHAVIORAL CLASSIFICATION, IN WHICH NEUROTIC INDIVIDUALS ARE ISOLATED FROM AGGRESSIVE STUDENTS, RESULTED IN NO SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS. A COMPUTER STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM IS PROPOSED FOR ASSESSING FUTURE DATA.
