Abstract
Group therapy is considered to be subordinate to a total systemic approach which includes individual, family, group, and milieu therapy. The Author uses an eclectic theoretical frame of reference which includes some elements of psychodynamic, object relations, and structural and strategic family therapy theory. Precedents for the confrontational-supportive approach include encounter group and residential drug addiction programs, psychodynamic short-term individual therapy, and dynamic group therapy.
