Abstract

It is no easy task to speak about the development of this method in Austria, as its history is too short yet. Pupils of Alfred Adler were among the first to stress the importance of group work in Viennese schools. After the Great War, Stransky sometimes was forced by sheer lack of time to giVe-up single treatment in favour of group work and found that he reached his aims much quicker in this way. Long before Alcoholics Anonymous became known, (they are still unknown in Austria even now!) Dr, Metzel, a physician in the service of the Vienna police, tried to unite his. alcoholic patients in groups.
