This paper presents a conceptual approach for leading various types of groups of chronically mentally ill patients. Although these groups may have a concrete, task-oriented purpose, with skillful leadership they also function as psychotherapy groups. The developmental deficits in ego functions, object relations, and social skills that severely impair such groups can be compensated by non-interpretative actions of the therapists. The group leader must actively work to provide for the structure, stability, and safety of the group when group members are unable to provide these for themselves.
本文提出了一种指导各类慢性精神病患者群体的概念性方法。尽管这些群体可能有具体的、以任务为导向的目的,但通过巧妙的引导,它们也能起到心理治疗群体的作用。自我功能、客体关系和社交技能方面的发展缺陷会严重损害这类群体,而治疗师的非解释性行动可以弥补这些缺陷。当群体成员无法自行提供这些时,群体领导者必须积极努力为群体提供结构、稳定性和安全性。
