Extract

Because of the widespread incidence of neurosis and the comparative lack of psychiatrists, much thought and activity is being directed into the treatment of a number of patients simultaneously. Apart from economy in time, group therapy has virtues of its own and would have a place in treatment even if there were a sufficiency of trained psychiatric staff.
