Abstract
This article focuses on reasons why group psychotherapy is the treatment of choice for individuals who have grown up with alcoholic parents. Yalom's model of group psychotherapy is presented as the preferred choice of treatment because it provides the best systematic description for examiniig the dysfunctional (codependent) styles of the individual members in the here and now of the groups. However, since Yalom's model focuses primarily on the external manifestations of a person's interpersonal conflicts, evidence is presented why the group leader needs to also view the interactions between the group members from an object relations perspective. Balancing both perspectives will allow the group leader to better understand the group member's external interpersonal difficulties and their internal conflicts and distortions.
