GROUPTHERAPY WITH LARGE GROUPS
Keywords:
LARGE GROUPS, GROUPTHERAPYAbstract
The group, of course, is a nearly ubiquitous human phenomenon, and group psychological influence probably began after the world population rose above two. As a therapeutic technique it was well-developed at the Aesculepion at Epidaurus and at hundreds of subsidiary aesculapiadae, 600 BC - 200 AD. Group lectures, group discussions, communal baths and meals, suggestion and instruction were parts of the group and community treatment of the poor and incurable and the well-to-do.
