Increasing Demand

This was a cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) group for formulation and treatment of low self-esteem, with emphasis on the use of creative approaches (stories, metaphors and experiential exercises) to enhance memory and learning. Evaluation of outcome for 72 clients attending these groups indicates that this is a successful intervention in terms of self-esteem, anxiety and depression. Qualitative feedback has been very positive and there has been a steady and increasing demand in terms of referrals.

Vulnerable Patient Group

Background: There is a need for special attention to patients in the transition between adolescent and adult psychiatric services. This study investigates effects of a group therapy on depression, anxiety, self-esteem and personal experiences among the youngest patients in an adult outpatient clinic. Method: Patients between 18 and 25 years participated in a 10-week group treatment based on psychoeducation and cognitive therapy. Outcomes were self-reported and both quantitative and qualitative. Results: Of 35 included patients (equal gender distribution, mean age 21 years), 31 completed treatment. Forty-nine percent were diagnosed with depression and 23 % with anxiety. Depressive symptoms and self-esteem improved after treatment, whereas anxiety symptoms did not. Group participation gave new perspectives on own difficulties and a sense of belonging in a safe setting with people they could relate to.  Conclusion: Group treatment adapted to young adults may be a suitable and feasible treatment intervention for this vulnerable patient group. Keywords: Depression, anxiety, young adults, cognitive therapy, group therapy, users’ experience.

Group Cbt

The therapist has a very different role in group therapy than in individual therapy—these differences are presented in this chapter. This chapter presents how to work in co-therapy, how to use the participants’ input to support the therapist, and what is expected of the therapist (e.g., show and ensure understanding, manage time and interactions, encourage group cohesion). The chapter also offers a detailed list of ‘to-do’ (e.g. protecting self-esteem, offer structure) and ‘do not’ (e.g., imposing his/her view, acting as an expert, monopolizing the session) that therapists need to keep in mind when offering gropu CBT for psychosis.

The Impact

This article reports on 95 women who were referred to an outpatient psychiatry clinic for group therapy for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Criteria for exclusion in group therapy are outlined and the format of the group therapy is described. Those who completed the groups are compared to dropouts. The group's effectiveness was evaluated using measures of psychiatric symptomatology (SCL 90), depression (Zung Self-Report Depression Scale), and self-esteem (Texas Social Behaviour Inventory) with a pre/post test design. Clients' evaluation questionnaires were also used. Group therapy was found to be effective in reducing symptomatology and change was in the expected direction in terms of depression and self-esteem.
