Activity Group Therapy (Part I)

A CLOSER LOOK

The Prelinger collection preserves ephemeral films that document everyday life, instruction, commerce, and popular culture. This entry is cataloged as Activity Group Therapy (Part I).

Shows socially-maladjusted boys 10 to 11 years old being benefitted therapeutically by "acting out" their disturbances upon their environment and each other in a realistic situation with an emotionally neutral therapist and concealed cameras and microphones. A fascinating mental health film produced for professional audiences, depicting truly anarchic behavior.
