Reeducation through labor is an administrative penalty to take in and reeducate through labor the criminals who have violate the law not gravely enough to get a criminal sanction. That means all the centers of reeducation through labor shoulder the responsibility of reforming and reeducating all the misdemeanants. In China, the number of misdemeanants reformed and reeducated is very large. A lot of surveys reveal that this special group of people have worse psychological condition than the average. However, at present, we reeducate them only by giving the traditional instruction or some psychological consultations.No psychological remedies are studied and applied. Even if there are some, they are done not by psychological specialists but by policemen who guard the misdemeanants. Therefore, the methods are simple and not supported or proved by theories.In order to find effective psychological remedies, improve the misdemeanants' health of psychology, and enhance the effects of all the centers of reeducation through labor, we adopted Glasser's Realistic Therapy to remedy on the twenty nine newly taken-in misdemeanantsfreeducated in the First Center Reeducation Through Labor in Hunan province.

The psychological condition of the misdemeanants is lower than that of the normal people;2. Realistic Therapy can improve the misdemeanants' self-esteemeffectively; 3. Realistic Therapy can improve the misdemeanants' health ofpsychology.Therefore, a conclusion is drawn that Realistic Therapy is suitable for our reeducation through labor and is an effective way to improve the standard and the effect of reeducation through labor.
