title: [Effects of group psychotherapy].
abstract: Using questionnaires SCL 90 and PFI, the author investigated in 1989-1990 the effect of group psychotherapy provided at the psychotherapeutic department of the psychiatric sanatorium in Kromĕríz. The group comprised 40 men and 60 women with neurotic complaints. The control group was formed by 45 men and 193 women without neurotic complaints. The questionnaire SCL90 recorded positive changes after group psychotherapy in the therapeutic community, in particular in female patients. A catamnestic examination made after one year, using the same questionnaire, suggests that the therapeutic results have a permanent character. Conversely the PFI questionnaire recorded few significant changes. The problem of assessment of the effect of psychotherapy is discussed also on a more general level.
