  • Title: Group therapy in a forensic setting.
    Author: Stein E, Brown JD.
    Journal: Can J Psychiatry; 1991 Dec; 36(10):718-22. PubMed ID: 1845303.
    Abstract:
    Mentally ill offenders are especially difficult patients to rehabilitate. Although group therapy is a universal method of treating these patients, their ability to benefit from group therapy has not been proven. The authors studied a group of patients held on Warrants of the Lieutenant Governor to assess their personality characteristics and their ability to develop group dynamics which are beneficial in other patient populations. The findings were that forensic patients have personality characteristics which preclude the development of these therapeutic dynamics.
