The Decision Group was designed to fill the needs of individuals applying for treatment at an alcoholism outpatient clinic and to reduce time lost to the clinic as a result of broken appointments. The group succeeded in engaging patients in treatment, motivating them to accept identification as alcoholics, and maintaining high attendance. The author describes the group's accomplishments and suggests ways that future groups could avoid certain problems the Decision Group encountered.
