Abstract

Many workers in the area of psychopathology believe that all neuroses are characterized by distorted self concepts and disturbed interpersonal relationships. The present authors believe that group psychotherapy offers a unique opportunity to observe and measure the changes in attitudes of the patients toward each other as well as toward themselves.

Accordingly, an experiment was designed to test the following hypotheses: (1) The attitudes of group members towards themselves and towards other group members will vary with the stage of treatment and the immediate anxiety of the group. (2) A rating scale can be used to measure these changes in attitude.
