title: [Structure of patient council].
abstract: This article discusses the conceptual relationship of different groups in a sociotherapeutically oriented hospital prior and subsequent to the establishment of a patient council. The observations made in this connection and reported by the authors in their present paper are supplemented by an attempt to outline the prospects of sociotherapeutics and a description of the particular structure of a sociotherapeutically oriented hospital. Approaches to more effective process control in the use of small groups in the wards are described in the final section of this paper.
