ABSTRACT
That groups appear to have powerful emotional effects on their members, effects which may be utilized in the furtherance of the psychotherapeutic process, is now widely accepted. Group psychotherapy has moved out of its earlier defensive position and no longer appears to be preoccupied with establishing its effectiveness as a treatment modality. It has been accepted as one of the appropriate and respectable forms of psychotherapy and the prospects for its even wider adoption as a treatment form are excellent.
