GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY IN PATIENTS RECOVERING FROM PSYCHOSES
Abstract
The literature concerning group psychotherapy is briefly reviewed. A report of group psychotherapy in a group of officers recovering from functional psychoses is made. Patients' opinions of this method are reported. It is believed that group psychotherapy is especially adaptable to patients of above average intelligence, and can be used as an adjunct to other forms of therapy. It cannot and should not replace other forms of psychotherapy. It has the special advantage of economy of time. Discussions are carried on in an impersonal manner, patients learn that their illnesses are not individualized, and mass catharsis is noted.
