Abstract: Male felony offenders in a live-in treatment center rank ordered curative factor categories similarly to Yalom's well-educated, middle-socioeconomic-class outpatients. Both groups ranked catharsis, group cohesiveness, and interpersonal learning (input) as the three most important categories. The only discrepancy was the ranking of universality. (Author)
