Abstract

The authors, staff members at a community mental health center serving a large Spanish-speaking population, began using a group approach with such patients after individual treatment proved unsatisfactory. This paper describes the approach and the characteristics of 30 patients who entered the group consecutively. It also discusses the special needs of ethnic groups and their implications for therapists and community mental health programs.
