THE USE OF VIDEO METHODS IN GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY

Abstract

The right selection of patients constitutes the principal problem in group psychotherapy. In the particular series of sessions here described all patients change; they participate in a group only as long as they are under therapy and then make room for new arrivals. They are mostly patients with endogeneous or reactive depressions, neurotics, people involved in "problem marriages," etc. The women are between the 20th and 55th years, and most of them are working. They come from the middle classes, but are by no means 'intellectuals," with the exception of a physician, who pres- ently is under analysis and is learning group psychotherapy.
