Abstract

The use of the typical kinds of group therapy methods seemed to be becoming less effective with one group of patients making up the population of the Day Treatment Center. The ventilation and verbalization about past experiences normally done previously did not yield results for this group of long-term psychiatric patients. The group had reached a plateau where improvement in social skills and personal problem solving ability were no longer evident. The number of absences increased and there was an attitude of general disinterest in the purpose of the group.
