Group dynamics and group psychotherapy revisited: four decades later
1Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, USA.
Abstract:
On the occasion of the 40th Anniversary of a symposium held on this controversial subject, the history of the relationship between group dynamics and group psychotherapy is reviewed. Within the contemporary framework of pluralism and integration, some guideposts are advanced that might help in the conceptual clarification of the affinity between these disparate, yet related, fields. This might lead, in turn, to a more refined elicitation of the specific therapeutic factors inherent in the group treatment modality.
