Abstract
Noting the recent growth of self-help groups for manic-depressive illness and considering the scarcity of empirical studies on the effectiveness of group therapy in the treatment of this illness, this review examines the three available reports on groups and adds a fourth report on the authors’ experience with a group over four-and-a-half years. The evidence argues in favor of combined lithium and group therapy. Some research questions and strategies for investigation follow.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
