PSYCHOTHERAPYAbstract
Group therapy has been accepted as an integral part of today's psychotherapeutic armamentarium. Unlike hypnosis or psychoanalysis, its flowering did not follow the usual slow evolution of many types of therapeutic endeavors. In terms of the history of psychiatry, the group therapy movement occupied very few years from the time that it first made its appearance until it spread throughout the clinical psychiatric field. In its development, group therapy was in a sense a mutation, a sport among genetic elements of psychiatric treatment. This figure of speech helps us to understand how group therapy suddenly emerged in the early 1930's and was accepted after only a brief period of resistance, compared to the long vicissitudes encountered by other psychological treatment methods.
