AND NOW THERE ARE FOUR Minimal Group Psychotherapy in a Family Setting

Abstract

This is a follow-up report on the encouraging results of minimal group psychotherapy in a family setting. It began in April, 1959 with a group of three which met in my office on behalf of an elderly lady of eighty-five, years. The second meeting was held ten months later at her daughter's home nearby. The third conference, at the same place ten days later, was marked by the presence of a very important (fourth) participant grandma's son-in-law. Since then there have been many more family conferences with larger participation; but we are here concerned with the procedure and long-range results of the first three conferences.
