Silence in a psychotherapy group, including leader, member, subgroup, and whole-group silence, is a common phenomenon with many possible forms, uses, and meanings. Five common sources of silence in group psychotherapy are described: situational factors, individual dynamics, member-to-member interactions, group dynamics, and leader-related dynamics. Silence can reflect defenses or indicate conditions favorable to intensified group work. Silence, sometimes mistaken for psychological inactivity, should be viewed as significant communication.
心理治疗小组中的沉默，包括领导者、成员、子小组和整个小组的沉默，是一种常见现象，有多种可能的形式、用途和含义。本文描述了团体心理治疗中沉默的五个常见来源：情境因素、个体动力、成员间互动、团体动力和与领导者相关的动力。沉默可以反映防御机制，也可能表明有利于加强团体工作的条件。沉默有时会被误解为心理上的不活跃，而应被视为重要的交流方式。
