The "case work program" of PBH's Mental Hospital Committee will get under way tonight with a meeting to formulate plans for the operation of tyo seminar groups.

Dr. Samuel Grob, a clinical psychiatrist representing the Massachusetts Association of Mental Health, will speak at the meeting. He will supervise the seminars and direct the work with mental patients in Waltham's Metropolitan State Hospital.

One of the groups will study the problems of individual mental patients while the other will deal with the "group dynamics" of several patients together. Each of the seminars, which include 12 students, will emphasize direct clinical experience.

The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Shephard Room at PBH.
