The author reports on her experience collected over a period of almost three years with psychoanalytic groups in an open ward of the Psychiatric (Land Government-financed) Hospital at Düren. The special feature of this study is that the groups remained together for a short period only (10-12 sessions), so that it was necessary to limit the subjects covered. The problems which came up in these groups were partly due to the specific character of groups made up of in-patients, and partly due to the structure of such short-lived groups. An attempt was made to take advantage of the opportunity of the dual function of the head of an in-patient group, namely, to be the object of reference and transference for the small group and a member of the team for the entire ward, to offer a chance to the group members of focusing conflicts based on the Oedipus complex. In this connection, it was found to be very useful to enlist the help of the nurse or male nurse as co-leader of the group. Patients with a subsiding psychosis derived the greatest benefit from participating in such groups, whereas in the case of patients suffering from depression, participation in such a short-lived group should be discouraged.
作者报告了她在迪伦市精神病院（由州政府资助）的开放式病房中，对精神分析小组进行近三年观察所积累的经验。这项研究的特别之处在于，这些小组仅维持较短时间（10 - 12次疗程），因此有必要限定所涵盖的主题。这些小组中出现的问题部分归因于由住院患者组成的小组的特殊性质，部分归因于这类短期小组的结构。有人尝试利用住院小组组长的双重角色所带来的机会，即作为小组成员的参照对象和移情对象，同时作为整个病房团队的一员，为小组成员提供一个基于俄狄浦斯情结聚焦冲突的机会。在这方面，发现邀请护士或男护士作为小组的共同组长会非常有用。病情正在缓解的精神病患者从参与这类小组中获益最大，而对于患有抑郁症的患者，不鼓励他们参与这类短期小组。
