Working with Schizophrenics Individually and in Groups: Understanding the Psychotic Process

Parkview, 28 The Southend, Ledbury, Herefordshire HR8 2EY, UK.

This paper seeks to further our dynamic understanding of schizophrenia through its literature and the therapeutic insights gained from individual and group psychotherapy. A method of conducting group analysis with psychotics using several conductors is described. The author's experience with a schizophrenic patient in individual therapy is compared with that of the group as experienced by one member of that group. A case is made for preferring group methods to individual therapy.
