Editor's Note: This publication, which describes a one week camping trip by
Day Center members of the Veterans Administration Hospital
in Houston, takes its place beside other Hogg Foundation
publications on various camping programs: i.e., A View of the
Texas State Hospital Camping Program, The Worth of a Boy,
and The Group. However, The Best Medicine differs from each
of the others because it is a case document which fully and completely
focuses on the feelings and attitudes of patients as reflected
in their behavior. The authors have given us a literary
psychological document which, put alongside other camping
materials, might well lead to some broader reflections about
camping as a therapeutic technique.Design by Tom CunninghamHogg Foundation for Mental Healt
