[Group therapy with schizophrenics. Introduction and theory of body-centered group psychotherapy with schizophrenic patients].
After a short review of group psychotherapies with schizophrenics the actual situation concerning the therapy by means of physical movements (Bewegungstherapie) in Swiss psychiatric hospitals is described and noted that programs and experiences of the specific therapeutic effects of physical exercises are still lacking. Based on earlier clinical experience, some psychoanalytic views and an experimental study (about depersonalisation and disturbances in body-experience) the bodily-centered (korperzentrierte) group psychotherapy is proposed and its therapeutic value discussed in 4 cases. Definitive conclusions are not yet reached in this pilot-study. Finally there is refered to a bigger experimental study that will follow.
