Abstract
Twelve women who had been depressed for more than one year after the birth of a child were offered group psychotherapy. Seven accepted. Our therapy aimed at providing the opportunity for supportive and confiding relationships to develop between the women in the group and the therapists. The Kelly repertory grid and Beck Depression Inventory administered before and after group therapy showed that group psychotherapy helped the women considerably.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
