Mr. Liebeler. What kind of duties do you perform as the chief psychiatrist at the Youth House? Tell us generally about what they are.
Dr. Hartogs. Yes, that's right. I examine all the children which have been remanded to Youth House on order of the court for the purpose of psychiatric examination, so not all children who are at Youth House are psychiatrically examined. There is only a specific quantity, number. As these children are psychiatrically examined by me and my staff, I submit my report to the court with recommendations and diagnosis, and it is up to the court to follow the recommendations or not.
I at the same time teach the staff. I give workshops in the psychiatric aspects of social work. I give seminars in which we discuss very interesting cases which have come up and to which the professional public of New York City is invited.
So, for instance, we gave such a seminar on Oswald. That is the reason why I vaguely remember him.
Mr. Liebeler. You were also, as you have testified, the chief psychiatrist for the Youth House in 1953.
Dr. Hartogs. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. Were your duties in connection with that job pretty much the same in 1953 as they are now?
Dr. Hartogs. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. How large a staff did you have in 1953, approximately?
Dr. Hartogs. Approximately I would say 300.
