Abstract

This article, based on an anthropological study of a treatment center for adolescent girls, analyzes staff-resident relations in light of Parsons' "sick-role" model. It explores how the model, in its local interpretation, becomes dysfunctional and thus leads the entire treatment process into a dead end.
