This article describes the steps involved in planning and running a group therapy intervention on an acute psychiatric admission ward. A model of group therapy based on the work of Yalom was adopted as the basis for a series of planning meetings, during which the viability of the intervention in the authors' particular setting was assessed. Following the planning phase, the group ran successfully and an example of a typical session's structure is discussed in some detail in the second part of this article. Some comments about the role of occupational therapists within psychiatry are made in the light of the authors' experience.

Forty-one patients admitted to hospital with depression participated in a cognitive-behavioural group therapy programme for an average of 26.12 hours. Subjects completed the Beck Depression Inventory, the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale and the Beck Anxiety Inventory on admission and discharge. Highly significant changes were found at discharge on the Beck Depression Inventory and the Beck Anxiety Inventory, as were significant changes in the Dysfunctional Attitudes Subscales of approval and autonomy. Discussion focuses on the relationship between depression and dysfunctional attitudes and their relationship to self-reported anxiety in depressed individuals.
