Abstract
AbstractWe describe a closed therapeutic group run in a community setting for the elderly with functional psychiatric illnesses. The aim of the group was to promote mental health and self‐confidence and to reduce psychiatric morbidity. A directive approach was taken and members were encouraged to seek solutions to their problems. Outcome was good on both objective and subjective measures. Difficulties in running the group are discussed. Finally, it is suggested that such groups may be an effective means both of improving mental health and of utilizing limited health service resources, and warrant further research.
