This film was filmed in Doylestown, a suburb of Philadelphia. It is a look at an alternate treatment for psychotic outbursts in which the patients live under the supervision of families. The film highlights the Delaware Valley Mental Health Foundation, an important Philadelphia institution. In his review, Roger Greenspun talks about the controversial methods of treatment being practiced as well as their effects. He calls the Cinéma-Vérité style film tactful, although, he says as a movie the subject matter is not as interesting as it is in its own right. By S. Stein
