Abstract
Penal institutions are an important field for psychiatric treatment and study. This Article defines treatment and discusses its principal aims as they are relevant to a penal setting. Currently, the lawyers' rule-dominated pattern of reaction is gaining ground over the psychiatric situational approach. Both the overdeveloped organization for psychiatric investigations and the tendency to forget the pre-sentence report when the offender is placed int he rule-dominated penal institutions counteracts every clinical research program. Denmark's attempts to overcome this obstacle by making the inmate the principal collaborator in his rehabilitation are described here.
