Abstract: | The advantages as well as the practical problems encountered in a supportive psychotherapy group for nonpsychotic patients with moderate social ineptness are described. The most effective group methods for this population included: high levels of therapist activity, constant support, mild confrontation, and other versatile techniques. The group was found to be successful in producing change. Members became more socially adept, self-initiating and productive, as well as less dependent and self-destructive. The therapeutic ingredients of such a group are speculated about, and further writings and studies on similar groups are suggested. |
