Abstract

Since its inception, the Youth Guidance Division of the N.Y.C. Dep't of Correction utilized group psychotherapy in an effort to help inmates gain insight, better understanding of themselves, and as an adjunct to future adjustment in the community. Many inmates in detention were involved in short term group psychotherapy. An evaluation of short-term group psychotherapy of eight weeks duration sixteen sessions) and its results is important at this time in order to determine the value of such a program.
