Abstract

In this experimental stage of group psychotherapy like in early years of psychoanalysis research cannot be based on statistics. Single cases of groups in treatment are of value. In reporting on highly selected cases in private practice the speaker could not expect statistical figures in many years to come. This report will refer to two groups of neurotics in private practice consisting of 5-6 patients each, of both sexes and selected according to three principles: 1) similar diagnosis (one group consisting of cases of chronic anxiety neurosis, the other of character. neurosis); 2) individual analysis lasting from 2-5 years although at a rate of only three to one sessions per week; 3) a phase of stagnation and lack of Productivity in treatment since a few months associated in most cases with stagnation and even regression in their mode of life.
