th the collective efforts of the whole group, they have formed a system of mutual reliance, helping members build up their confidence and return to their normal physical and psychological functioning. The seven staff members working in the “Jinbi Community” are retired workers of over 60 years old. They work with the idea to offer “parental love” and unreserved devotion without the least consideration on financial benefit for themselves: they simply hope to achieve something at their old ages. There are 14 members (8 males and 6 females) undergoing rehabilitation in the “Parental Love Group”. The rehabilitation mode has been converted from didactic preaching to devotion and respect for the members’ individualities.

Some of them have been employed and some have got married and began to raise children. Such sayings as “tell the truth and act accordingly” and “tell a truth and make a promise” have proven effective encouragement. The working staff is highly trusted by members being rehabilitated. As the saying goes, “confidence for confidence”, the members regard the community as their own home and look on the working staff as their folks. Though not willing to tell their parents their minds, they open their heats to the working staff and share their ideas among themselves. This is a professional method of social work---“team work”. Monthly activities, the “rehabilitation classes”, are held in the community. Beginning from 1996, more than 100 classes have been held. Participants are requested to design the programs and preside over the classes. In so doing, they share experiences among themselves and become rehabilitated together. This, in fact, is an experiment in the professional sense.
