Group Therapy for substance use disorders: What do we know?
Harvard Review of Psychiatry, 2004Co-Authors: Roger D Weiss, Victoria P. De Menil, William B. Jaffee, Catherine B. CogleyAbstract:Although Group Therapy is the most prevalent treatment modality for substance use disorders, an up-to-date review of treatment outcome literature does not exist. A search of the literature yielded 24 treatment outcome studies comparing Group Therapy to other treatment conditions. These studies fell into one of six research design categories: (1) Group Therapy versus no Group Therapy; (2) Group Therapy versus individual Therapy; (3) Group Therapy plus individual Therapy versus Group Therapy alone; (4) Group Therapy plus individual Therapy versus individual Therapy alone; (5) Group Therapy versus another Group Therapy with different content or theoretical orientation; and (6) more Group Therapy versus less Group Therapy. In general, treatment outcome studies did not demonstrate differences between Group and individual modalities, and no single type of Group Therapy reliably demonstrated greater efficacy than others. Unique methodological and logistical hurdles encountered in research on Group Therapy for substance use disorders, as well as considerations for future research, are also discussed.

Evaluation of integrative Group Therapy with children
Praxis Der Kinderpsychologie Und Kinderpsychiatrie, 2001Co-Authors: Hain C, Többen B, Wolfgang SchulzAbstract:: The purpose of this study consists in the investigation of the effectiveness of an Integrative Group Therapy involving children from a social focus area. The research has been made on a Group Therapy covering a total of 22 therapeutic sessions with six "marginalised children" aged seven to nine attending the second class of a primary school. The children suffered from considerable concentration and attention problems affecting their achievements at school. The dominating symptom with three of these children has been aggressiveness, with two of them it has been social withdrawal and insecurity and one child suffered from psychosomatic complaints. The success of the treatment was determined by different target areas (symptomatic features, adaptive function, individual therapeutic goals, assessment of the treatment), having been assessed by different persons of reference (parents, teachers, therapists). According to the results the effectiveness of the Integrative Group Therapy with children has to be regarded unsatisfactory. The average effect size (averaged over all the scales of CBCL and TRF) amounts to 0.32. Considering only those scales where there have been peculiarities at the preliminary measuring, the average effect size amounts to 0.39. According to the individual case evaluation the treatment may be considered successful with one child, yet with another child a definite negative development has been noticed, and with four of the children no or slightly positive changes have been registered. The Integrative Group Therapy seems to be inapplicable to children with aggressive problems. In conclusion the results will be discussed and proposals for an improvement of the treatment are being made.

An integrated model for adolescent inpatient Group Therapy
Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, 2001Co-Authors: D. Garrick, C. EwashenAbstract:This paper proposes an integrated Group Therapy model to be utilized by psychiatric and mental health nurses; one innovatively designed to meet the therapeutic needs of adolescents admitted to inpatient psychiatric programs. The writers suggest a model of Group Therapy primarily comprised of interpersonal approaches within a feminist perspective. The proposed Group focus is on active therapeutic engagement with adolescents to further interpersonal learning and to critically examine their contextualized lived experiences. Specific client and setting factors relevant to the selection of therapeutic techniques are reviewed. Selected theoretical models of Group Therapy are critiqued in relation to Group Therapy with adolescents. This integrated model of Group Therapy provides a safe and therapeutic forum that enriches clients’ personal and interpersonal experiences as well as promotes healthy exploration, change, and empowerment.
