The evaluation of co-leading a gestalt group.

Abstract

A personal awareness group was conducted at Charity Hospital in New Orleans in the Spring of 1978, by the authors, for the benefit of psychiatric outpatients. A total of ten persons responded to the invitation to join the group. Each of these clients had a medically documented history of stress, a diagnostic record indicating some form of recurring depression. All were living at home and functioning more or less with the aid of some kind of anti-depressant. None appeared to be seriously confused or disoriented.
