Interaction Testing as a Measure of Therapeutic Change in Groups

Two therapy groups were followed by means of repeated interaction testing over the course of their therapeutic lifetime. The consensus Rorschach, analyzed as if it were the product of a single individual, indicated marked differences in the progress of the two groups with evidence of growth, expansion in the case of one group and a therapeutic stalemate in the case of the second group. Independent clinical evaluation of therapeutic progress by the therapists of both groups were in complete agreement with the consensus Rorschach psychograms. The possibility that non-conformist members may contribute to poor therapeutic progress is considered.
