Abstract

Perhaps the greatest contribution the present era has made to the welfare of Mankind is Global Thinking-The individual no longer finds himself to be a man apart. His interests are indissolubly linked with those of his neighbor. If these assertions are true, an estimate of his personality (and the treatment of the disorders thereof) must likewise be subject to revision. Hitherto, Psychiatry as a medical entity has concerned itself exclusively with a thorough study of the individual. The milieu in which the patient lived and worked was of little moment. Such a position is no longer tenable. The advent of Group Psychotherapy and its attendant success as a therapeutic force is proof positive.
