Abstract: The $SL(2,R)$ WZNW $ightarrow$ Liouville reduction leads to a nontrivial phase space on the classical level both in $0+1$ and $1+1$ dimensions. To study the consequences in the quantum theory, the quantum mechanics of the $0+1$ dimensional, point particle version of the constrained WZNW model is investigated. The spectrum and the eigenfunctions of the obtained---rather nontrivial---theory are given, and the physical connection between the pieces of the reduced configuration space is discussed in all the possible cases of the constraint parameters.
