  • Title: [Group stability and open setting in psychiatric therapy groups].
    Author: Schröder A, Weise K.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 1997 Mar; 24(2):77-8. PubMed ID: 9190615.
    Abstract:
    Psychotherapeutical groups in Psychiatry--different to traditional Psychotherapy--are often carried out as open groups; the patient, not bound to a previous commitment to long-term and reliable attendance, is authorized to determine for himself how long he will take part in the group. Though in this way it is possible to decrease the threshold of participation in the group, on the other hand this may cause risk of an extreme high fluctuation. The analysis of a group of psychiatric patients shows that in spite of the open form, lack of a waiting list, and a faint motivation of newly admitted participants, considerable stability can be obtained.
