[Relation between the effect of therapy and the course of neuroses in a day care sanatorium].
In 152 patients who in 1979-1986 had a complete seven-week course of stationary treatment with daily group psychotherapy and who returned catamnestic questionnaires six months after termination of treatment, the relationship between the course of treatment and its effect was investigated. The effect of treatment was evaluated by the paired t-test. Ninety-eight patients improved significantly and 54 improved but not significantly. In these two groups the authors compared also the graphic presentation of the course of treatment as regards the grade of neurotic complaints, severity of the problem, activity at sessions and position in the group. The results indicate a favourable prognosis of treatment in patients with a subjectively conceived/higher position in the group and a rising activity at sessions. From what has been said ensues the importance to create an emphatic atmosphere in the group and to stimulate the activity of group members during treatment.
