Abstract

This paper stresses the group treatment of psychotics, with special reference to the schizophrenic. It includes interrelated groups structured on a graded scale and differentiated by the degree of its members’ regressive levels of fixation. The patients’ emotional and functional capacities decide suitability and selection. This group system simplifies criteria for composition, techniques, and the therapist’s role.
