description A token economy program conducted with severely regressed, “backward” state hospital patients is described. An evaluation of the effects of the reinforcement program after one year has revealed substantial gains in patient eating, grooming, and dressing behavior and involvement in activities on and off the ward. In addition, several measures of staff attitudes toward patients evidence meaningful gains in staff expectations about the treatability of patients and the degree of the latters' psychological deficit.
