Abstract
The effects of marathon group counseling on the attitudes of imprisoned male ilicit drug users were studied. Residents selected randomly into a control and an experimental group responded to a semantic differential which included the following concepts: kindness, anger, guilt, reality, my real self, the future, drug treatment programs, counselors, counseling and group counseling. The scores of the control and marathon group participants were compared on posttests by t-tests. The posttest scores of the marathon group paraticipants were significantly higher than the scores of the control group participants on the following scales: counselor (E), group counseling (E) and drug treatment programs (P).
