The paper presents an overview of the national developments of group psychotherapy (GPS) in Sweden during the period from World War II until the present time. Methods and concepts, imported primarily from England and the United States, inspired trainings and widespread psychodynamic and group analytic applications in schools, health treatment, and social care. Education in psychotherapy and GPS at universities opened new therapeutic and vocational areas during the period 1970-2005. Increasing criticism of psychodynamics, as in other Western societies, but more radical in Sweden, has in the last decades made group analytic GPS diminish in favor of cognitive behavioral therapy models. Prospects for GPS further development may presently look bleak but, in a longer perspective, are promising.
本文概述了从第二次世界大战至今瑞典团体心理治疗（GPS）在全国的发展情况。主要从英国和美国引进的方法和理念，激发了学校、健康治疗和社会护理领域的培训以及广泛的心理动力学和团体分析应用。1970年至2005年期间，大学中的心理治疗和GPS教育开辟了新的治疗和职业领域。与其他西方社会一样，对心理动力学的批评日益增加，但在瑞典更为激进，在过去几十年里，团体分析GPS逐渐失宠，认知行为治疗模式更受青睐。目前，GPS进一步发展的前景可能看起来黯淡，但从长远来看，前景是乐观的。
