Abstract
This article describes a first series of classroom-type reality orientation, set up on a background of 24-hour reality orientation, to assess this treatment technique and to discover organizational problems. It discusses the selection and grouping of patients, the monitoring of progress, and the structure and content of the sessions. The initial, midway, and final assessment scores are shown for each of the three groups of patients. The programme was considered to have been of value to the patients as part of treatment and to staff in highlighting the problems and strengths of the groups. Some general recommendations for such programmes are made.
