title: Inpatient group psychotherapy: the role of the staff nurse.
abstract: Inpatient groups are inherently different from outpatient groups and require modification in approach. Patients' needs, staff interests and expertise, and the needs of the health care system are major driving forces in the development of inpatient groups. A co-therapy model helps to achieve a balance between skills and abilities of the therapist.
