GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY AS AN APPROACH TO A PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY

Abstract

The Psychiatric Clinic of the Cracow Academy of Medicine has now been carrying on group therapy for four years. When we began, we had not had any theoretical preparation. During our initial experiments our psychotherapeutic groups, patients from a certain ward in the Clinic, simply met once a week, usually in the evening, in the Clinic Library, as we had no other quiet place at our disposal.
