Abstract
The therapeutic community is representing an addition of a new element, a new dimension, to the healing procedure; the dynamics of social and cultural levels. Anxieties are reduced in the patient group by delegating authority to them and, at the same time, phenomena of the social interaction lend themselves to analysis and maturation of the patient. This process can be carried out with a well functioning team which undergoes a stressful formational period as a group in development. Various theoretical and practical measures are recommended to develop teamwork and prevent some of the difficulties in this process.Keywords
