Abstract

The results of treatment of thirteen cases of dermatitis by group psychotherapy in addition to individual psychotherapy were very encouraging. The author gives six reasons why group psychotherapy has advantages over individual psychotherapy, the most impressive of which is the demonstrability in a group session of how the emotional tension generated in a discussion of a traumatic situation leads to the onset of pruritus scratching.
