REHABILITATIONAbstract
The phrase, "Who Shall Survive,"1 can never be more aptly applied than to the vocational rehabilitation of the mentally ill. The Federal vocational rehabilitation legislation of 1943, Public Law 113, made it possible for the first time for psychologically disabled persons to be served by the state-federal agencies which exist in every state. Going several steps farther than just offering medical services, vocational counseling, or job training, the Colorado Department of Rehabilitation is providing its psychologically disabled clients a comprehensive program of group psychotherapy. The Mental Services Division of the department, headed by Mr. Thomas B. Dillingham, has found that such a service for its clients is not only useful, but a necessity in many cases to underwrite satisfactory readjustment.
