.Abstract
During the last four decades, but especially in (he most recent one, psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists, and social workers have evidenced mutual interest in developing a standardized method of measuring the effectiveness of their therapeutic efforts. This fact is attested to by the numerous studies reported in the literature in which representatives of two or more of these professions participated in the development and execution of the research plan. The present study follows the precedent of the interdisciplinary trend by adding a follow-up evaluation by a social worker to the attempts by a psychologist and psychiatrist to measure the effectiveness of group psychotherapy with hospitalized patients
