The need for the provision of primary experience in the course of residential treatatment of certain deeply emotionally deprived children has been considered, in the context of therapeutic work in a boarding school for maladjusted children. The nature of primary experience and means of providing this have been discussed. A distinction has been made between the needs of such children before and after integration as individuals. Some of the special problems faced by the therapeutic providers of primary experience have been noted.
