Abstract
Thousands of words have been written about the thousands of demonstrators whose strategy led to confrontations with police and officialdom at the Democratic convention in Chicago. Who were these young people? What did they hope to accomplish? Why were they involved? Dr. Miller casts a trained eye on a microcosm—102 of the 641 demonstrators who were arrested. Their reactions provide needed insight into a significant segment of this puzzling generation. He is assistant professor of neurology and psychiatry, Northwestern University. This article is based on a paper Dr. Miller presented at the Conference on Violence and Aggression, held November 15–16, 1968 in Chicago. The conference was co-sponsored by the American Psychiatric Association and the American Medical Association, and was originally solicited by the President's Commission for the Study of Violence.
