CHANGES IN PERCEPTION AND INTERACTION IN GROUP THERAPY
Keywords:
.Abstract
Group therapy for nurses was initiated at Brockton VA Hospital in 1955 when the Chief Nurse, from whom several of the staff nurses had been seeking guidance about their personal problems, suggested that they form a therapy group. The group was organized on a voluntary basis with the senior author as group leader. Sessions were scheduled weekly for periods of an hour and a quarter. Twelve nurses joined the first year and met every week from October until the end of May. This procedure continued for the past four years. Membership varied from year to year with some drop-outs and some new members applying each year.
