Sammanfattning
In this study have I examined how treatment of girls with neuropsychological impairments is functioning? I have looked at the theories and methods of treatment on the base of the care program and how it is put into practice. In addition I have interviewed four girls who have undergone the treatment program.
To gain perspective on institutional care as a social phenomenon, I have tried to give a brief historical retrospect in which particular care for women are described. I am also affecting certain gender aspects of institutional care. I have also tried to make a brief account of current research on the treatment.
The study is a qualitative study in which I am apart from literature studies used participant observation in depth interviews as a method.
My results indicate that a well structured treatment with CBT approach can work well to achieve lasting behavioural changes in students.
