The provision of psychotherapeutic services to the most impaired and treatment-resistant chronically mentally ill (CMI) patients has been relatively neglected in the literature. These patients most often reside on the chronic wards of state mental hospitals where they often receive only custodial treatment and medications. This article discusses the provision of group psychotherapeutic services in such settings, and delineates five levels of group involvement through which patients progress before they graduate to a less-restrictive environment.
在文献中，为受损最严重且对治疗有抵抗性的慢性精神病患者提供心理治疗服务相对受到忽视。这些患者大多住在州立精神病院的慢性病区，在那里他们通常只接受监护性治疗和药物治疗。本文讨论了在这种环境下提供团体心理治疗服务的情况，并描述了患者在过渡到限制较少的环境之前所经历的五个团体参与层次。
