The less psychotic patients and those who are
of high functionality respond better to the
Group Therapy, and mostly to the interaction
caused by the group. This happens thanks to
their good pre-morbid situation, to the quick
improvement of their psychotic condition, to
the moderate up to good maintenance of the
cognitive functions, and these patients’ ability
to satisfyingly manipulate their social and
professional relations’ anxiety. In Group
Therapy conditions, which represent a
miniature of the society, this member is able
to comprehend other people as well as
himself, through the development of relations
within the team and can more easily adapt
and incorporate in his previous life (socialprofessional).
Therefore, patients of high functional level,
who nevertheless have fears, insecurities and are
not permissive of the numerous stimuli from
interaction, are introduced in groups with more
leading and constructed techniques of Group
Therapy, so that their social reintegration is
achieved through the stimuli deduction.25,26,27
CONCLUSIONS
Inpatients group therapy is effective when applied
and considered as a part of a well organized and
complete therapy aggregation, made up of: a)
medical surveillance, (b) family information,
therapy and sensitization, (c) self- supportive
psychotherapy and (d) psychosocial restoration.
The excellent knowledge of the group
techniques, the correct evaluation of the patient
(of his cognitive- conductive function ), the study
of the research attempts are all basic
circumstances for the application and success of
the group therapy. What is more, each patient’s
needs should always be taken into account, at the
phase of his clinical condition each time, and
particularly his anxiety and his cognitive level at
the present appearance of the disease.
Group Therapy should not be seen as a
panacea, but as a therapy process whose roleinstructing
and supporting- are of high
therapeutic importance not only for the patient,
but for his close family environment as well. It
should not be forgotten that Group Therapy’s goal
is the patient’s social incorporation and the regain
and maintenance of his sociality, the healthy
expression of his emotions and his return to
