A psychotherapeutic group for men.
Little has been written on group therapy designed to treat a group of all male patients. A group of male outpatients followed in individual psychotherapy were identified who shared several personality traits and faced similar psychosocial problems. These patients were 20 to 40 years old, unmarried, the majority unemployed and lacking heterosexual relationships. This report examines characteristics of these patients, themes arising during group sessions, aspects of group composition, techniques used in therapy and the outcome of various patients after six months of therapy.
