"The purpose was to analyze the data collected by applying a schedule to the case records of twenty white female patients who were released on trial visit from the Florida State Hospital during the period from July, 1956 through December, 1957, in order to determine whether the initial refusal of the family to accept a group of ten white female patients for trial visit influenced the length of time these mental patients remained out of the hospital during the one year trial visit period"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "June, 1959." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work." / Advisor: Dorothy D.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a token economy program at Oregon State Hospital in terms of patients’ behavioral improvement during the first seventy days of the program. As the study progressed, it became apparent that a study of the problems involved in initiating this program would be significant. Thus an attempt has been made to evaluate both the patients’ behavioral improvement and the problems involved in setting up an effective token economy program. Prior to the June 1, 1972 reorganization of the hospital, the county geographical unit system had been in effect for approximately eleven years. On June 1st, three admission wards, two social remotivation wards, a behavior modification ward, two self-care wards and a token economy ward were established. Although token economy programs have been widely used in state mental hospitals and in Veterans Administration Psychiatric hospitals across the country, this was the first attempt to use this type of operant conditioning therapy at Oregon State Hospital.
