title: [The "WunderBar"--a project for reducing drug abuse in the psychiatric hospital].
abstract: A major reason for the patients' increasing drug abuse is inactivity and tediousness. The psychiatric hospital reacts primarily with repression but then tries more constructive measures: a special room, a sort of bar and disco for young people is created allowing all sorts of leisure activities and informal meetings. The target population of young patients is successfully engaged, they help rising the "WonderBar" which seems to gain some importance to them, and in the hospital, the paralysing feelings of helplessness in front of the drug problems disappear.
