Cohesiveness and Hostility in Group Psychotherapy
Abstract
The authors discuss two theoretical constructs, group cohesiveness and exposure to hostility, in relation to group psychotherapy. Three hypotheses that link cohesiveness and hostility to treatment outcome were tested with data derived from a group psychotherapy program for sex offenders on probation. Analyses showed that exposure to hostility is positively related to outcome, whereas cohesiveness is unrelated but has a negative tendency toward successful outcome.
