Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of planned dynamic short-term group psychotherapy in a health maintenance organization setting. The groups, conducted by experienced short-term psychodynamically trained therapists, focused on common life-stage issues. A pretest/posttest design was employed; group participants completed a battery of self-report measures before, after, and 4–6 months after treatment. Group participants made statistically (and clinically) significant positive changes on the majority of change measures. They saw themselves as improved on target problems, became far less symptomatic, and reported considerable growth in interpersonal functioning.
