THE USE OF SPECIALIZED GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY TECHNIQUES IN A HOME FOR THE AGED

Abstract

During last year's meeting of the American Society of Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama, Dr. Robert Wolk and Richard Brunner discussed group psychotherapy with geriatric patients in an out-patient clinic. Techniques described at that time for treating the aged patient with group therapy have been adapted and extended for use with geriatric patients living in a Home for the Aged.
