[Affective experience in the group process and therapeutic outcome].

In this investigation is reported about measurement of affective behavior and feelings during the process of group psychotherapy. Therefore a cluster analysis of 4 parameters about 5 group sessions and 9 members and the group as a whole was made. The hypothesia were that effective feelings concern the group as a whole, that they were changing during the process and that they concern the individual process. It could be shown that in common there was a connection between individual process of affective behavior and outcome. Questions which came from differences of these results concerned the problem of characterizing exactly what going on related changing of attitudes and in which manner we can understand outcome.
