Abstract

It is, indeed, very difficult, for those who want to orient themselves among the variety of theories and methods of group psychotherapy, to find the basis which will allow them to understand the rationale of their differences or similarities and to classify them logically. Every school of thought proposes an apparently different set of basic concepts and denies almost all the others. However, experience teaches us, in .group as well as individual psychotherapy, that every skilled therapist will get good results using the method he prefers among the accepted ones and, what is more, that there is a greater difference between a beginner and an experienced practitioner of any school than between two men equally qualified in two divergent schools of thought.
