[Patient dismissal to promote progress: brief discharge as a possible method in inpatient psychotherapy of adolescent patients]

Abstract

In dealing with aggressive juveniles in a setting it often is difficult to sustain the concept of therapy without risking the end of cooperation. A chance to save the ability to act on the therapist's side, offers the shorttime dismissal as a therapeutical measure. It works as a remedy in times of stationary crises' as well as a juncture with the juvenile's original system that is forced into the process of therapy closing links between the stationary ongoings and the dynamics of the familiar system outside.
