An important obstacle to enrollment with traditional group
therapy is treatment delays that occur when several patients must

avoid this, a modular design with rolling admissions was used.
The participants started at the beginning of any of three four-session
modules, so the maximum wait time was 4 weeks. The modules
were self-contained, including orientation to the group in
the first session and progression through skills across sessions.
The patients completed all three modules twice, for a total of 24

this process to examine their thinking, then modify their

The module addressed specific issues faced by older

coping with stressors (e.g., loss of role or supports);
and dealing with sequelae of long-term
neuroleptic treatment
