Abstract

What is the "new group therapy"? Hobart Mowrer has recently completed a book called: The New Group Therapy. In this paper the author attempts to answer this question. If the reader becomes somewhat disheartened by the answer, he is not alone.

Mowrer's New Group Therapy is compared with Moreno's Psychodrama. This comparison is not exhaustive in relationship to either the comparison or the individual theories. The scope of this paper is circumscribed by the limited knowledge of the author
