| Description | The aim of the paper is to introduce the results of effectiveness study of psychodynamic group psychotherapy in a public outpatient psychotherapy care. Data from 159 patients were included, mostly from patients diagnosed with neurotic diagnoses, personality disorders, and affective disorders. The analysed data present the results of three methods (SCL-90-R, MMPI-2 and Life-satisfaction questionnaire). Data had been collected from the archived client cards from years 2008-2011. Particular attention has been paid to the measurements that took place prior to the seven week treatment programs and after their completion. The treatment program was based on psychodynamic group psychotherapy. We would add some statistical verification of the hypotheses, as well. The hypotheses focused on effectiveness of psychotherapy in predefined areas of human functioning, and in some fields of socio-demographic characteristics on the effect of treatment. |
