Observations for over two years on improved schizophrenics who have given up their hallucinations or delusions reveal that such persons show: 1, excessive

sensitivity, which may be general or a reaction to specific people or situations; 2, lack of object relationship, and inability to achieve roles; 3, difficulty in initiative with others; and 4, lack of faith in themselves and lack of a sense of belonging. Participation in therapeutic groups is a preparation for extramural life; it establishes comfortable relations and identifications with other members.
