About this work
Description
Primarily for teaching psychiatric nursing, this film is also suitable for general trained nurses, students during psychiatric secondment, and other appropriate professional audiences. It is a study of aggression, a normal reaction which the well-balanced person learns to control as part of the process of growing-up, but one which presents a difficult problem to the medical and nursing staff in a psychiatric hospital.

Although the hospital is not identified specifically, in the sequence showing the cricket match between the patients and staff, the score board has the name 'Horton' which indicates the film was probably shot at Horton Psychiatric Hospital, Epsom, Surrey.
