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.

The Individual

It is part of the magical aura of the physician that he must have some omnipotent tool with which he dramatically makes patients better. In individual psychotherapy the individual interview and the interpretation, like the surgeon's scalpel, provides such an omnipotent instrument. In therapeutic community practice it is often group therapy in the form of the daily ward meeting and the review that plays the role of the omnipotent therapeutic tool. But in our opinion it is the daily living situation and not the formally organized therapeutic meeting which provides the greatest potential for learning and growth on the part of patients and staff. We have found the crisis situation and its resolution to be potentially the most useful of these daily living situations.

Functional Features

Psychiatric wards in Hungary and elsewhere in Europe, even with modern concepts, possess features of totalitarian systems: controlling, maintaining a strong hierarchy in the structure, an authoritarian leadership style, regulated autonomy and reduced to one-way communication. Group therapy aims at free communication, empathic leading, cooperation and functional agreements, reflectivity. In this paper we analyze components of this apparent dichotomy in the context of contemporary psychiatric wards. A theoretical definition is given for the possible degrees of hierarchical rigidity on psychiatric wards based on decision-making procedures, the acquisition and distribution of resources and analysis of boundaries and functional features.

Potential Impact

The therapeutic role of the symbolic language in the Psalms is discussed. First, the symbolic language of the psalm allows for the expression of difficulties and emotions not expressible through normal prosaic language. Second, the depth of expression may allow the troubled person to identify with another human being in comparable difficulty and thus find hope through the other's experience. Third, the symbolic language of the psalm may restructure the symbols by which a person lives his life and thus lead to a new manner of living. With the analysis of the language completed, the technique is applied to three psalms by tracing their potential impact on the reader's mind. Finally, suggestions are made for use of the Psalms in individual or group therapy.
