Abstract

The systems-centered approach to group psychotherapy systematically weakens the restraining forces at the boundaries of each subphase and phase of group development, so that the inherent system drive toward therapeutic development and transformation will be released in the group-as-a-whole, its members, and its subgroups. The SCT methods of functional subgrouping, boundarying, vectoring, and contextualizing are introduced as strategies to reduce both the restraining forces to group development and the symptomology that has brought members into the therapy group.
