- 6 - COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY RELEASES NEW MENTAL HEALTH SERIES The Communications Materials Center of Columbia University, under the direction of Erik Bamouw, recently made available a new series of 6 quarter-hour programs on the subject of emotional health. The series is entitled, ”Why Did He Do It?” and is narrated by radio reporter George Hicks, Consultants were Dr* Dallas Pratt and Dr* David Abrahams en* Series Revised A review of the sample audition disc, which contains two of the six case histories in the series, has been made by Northrop Dawson, Jr* program director of KUOM, at ^ the University of Minnesota* Mr* Dawson writes? ”This is a series dealing with problems of emotional health, combining reportorial and actuality recording techniques, and featuring George Hicks, well-known network reporter* ”The sample audition disc features the true case histories of..*a convicted arsonist and...a convicted burglar, concentrating primarily on the synptoms of emotional mal¬ adjustment which impelled the criminal, in each case, to seek an outlet in anti¬ social activity. The story is told partly in straight reporting by Hicks, partly by cut-ins of tape-recorded interviews between Hicks and the subject-interviewee and recorded statements by the latter and the psychiatric specialist who handled his case. ”The result is an educational program of unusual inpact. The approach is straight¬ forward and honest, with no attempt to over-dramatize the story with, devices or ’gimmicks.” The inherent drama of the real-life situation is sufficient to hold the listener’s interest. "Each program demonstrates how the subject-interviewee has been helped via psychiat¬ ric treatment, and concludes with an appeal for early recognition and treatment of emotional madadjustirent, thereby stressing the inportance of initial ’prevention* rather than eventual cure*” The cost of airing the discs varies, depending upon the population of the city in which a radio station broadcasts.
