Abstract

In the last issue of GROUP PSYCHOTHErAPY there appeared a note by Dr. J. L. Moreno on a "Code of Ethics of Group Psychotherapists" (1) which has moved me to make some responsive comment. We can only endorse Moreno's objective that group psychotherapy "render service to every member of therapeutic groups and to the groups as a whole." Similarly, we can esteem his belief that "a group psychotherapist should practice methods of healing founded on a scientific basis . ...". Whether we are yet at a stage where the group psychotherapist's practices need the sanction of "official professional boards" is open to some question but certainly deserves serious consideration in a field where some unqualified individuals have undertaken to do group therapy
