Abstract

The· following text has been abstracted from a televised motion picture made at a large mental hospital in the USA. It has the character of a "psychodramatic exit test" with a few action notes accompanying the group process. The televised production was made by the author as Director and a group of patients entirely unrehearsed and communicated via closed circuit television to several thousand patients in the various wards of the hospital. The problem was are these patients ready for discharge? The exit test is a method by means of which to determine their readiness for returning to the community.
