A small group of highly dependent day hospital patients, together with a small number of 'potential' day hospital referrals sharing similar characteristics, were treated in twice weekly interpretive group psychotherapy for between seven and nine months. At the end of treatment three of four day hospital patients had made a successful separation from the day hospital, and at nine month follow-up outcome appeared improved. Only two of the six non-day hospital patients remained in the group, the reasons for which are discussed. The method of evaluation proved manageable, although it would be more appropriate to studies involving larger numbers and possibly control interventions. It is suggested that the role of interpretive group psychotherapy in rehabilitation deserves further investigation.
一小群高度依赖日间医院的患者，以及少数具有相似特征的“潜在”日间医院转诊患者，接受了为期七至九个月的每周两次的解释性团体心理治疗。治疗结束时，四名日间医院患者中有三名成功脱离了日间医院，在九个月的随访中，结果似乎有所改善。六名非日间医院患者中只有两名留在了团体中，文中讨论了其中的原因。评估方法证明是可行的，尽管它更适合于涉及更多人数且可能有对照干预的研究。有人认为，解释性团体心理治疗在康复中的作用值得进一步研究。
