“…Psychoanalytic psychotherapy tactics such as the use of the here-and-now, transference, reenactments, and interpretations were utilized in efforts to make the group an interpersonal relearning experience (Kibel, 1978). Overall, major personality restructuring was often seen as frustrating for the analytic therapist and generally ineffective in certain settings (Cory & Page, 1978). Contemporary variations of this orientation are still used and studied in the present day.…”

“…Earliest accounts of group treatments for schizophrenia were rooted in and influenced by psychoanalytic theory (Cory & Page, 1978; Gruber, 1978; Leopold, 1976; Storck, 1989). Schizophrenia was primarily conceptualized according to ego functioning and group outcomes centered around lasting personality change (Leopold, 1976).…”

Objective: Despite significant need, those with severe mental illness (SMI) often remain underserved and understudied. Schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder (BPD) stand out as recurring SMI conditions that historically have been difficult to treat. Empirical evidence for therapeutic treatment for each disorder continues to grow and evolve. Group intervention should be incorporated into care due to the format’s empirical effectiveness and resourcefulness. Method: The current article aims to provide clinically relevant information on group modalities with the most substantial empirical support for first schizophrenia (Burlingame et al., 2020) and then BPD (McLaughlin et al., 2019), using recent meta-analytic findings. This is accomplished by first providing a brief history of group treatment for each disorder. Next, current American Psychiatric Association guidelines and current empirical evidence for group treatment of first schizophrenia and then BPD are reviewed. Results: Based on findings, special focus is given to social skills and cognitive remediation for the treatment of schizophrenia and dialectical behavioral therapy for the treatment of BPD. Empirical evidence, treatment content, vignettes, and resources for each of these modalities are provided. Other promising group treatment options are reviewed for the reader to consider. Given the vast diversity within the SMI population and the multicultural significance recognized today, diversity, equity, and inclusion considerations are provided on the highlighted group treatment options. Conclusions: It is the hope of the authors that the reader will have sufficient information and resources to begin an evidence-based group treatment. By doing so, practice and care for the SMI population will expand and improve.

“…A number of approaches have been advocated which have included: intake groups aimed at familiarizing new patients with the unit and pretraining them in the process of group therapy for later transfer (Arriaga et al, 1978;Houlihan, 1977); groups concentrating on improving interpersonal problem-solving ability (Coch6 & Flick, 1975}; groups using active experiential techniques (Cory & Page, 1978;Farrell, 1976); groups emphasizing didactic presentation and discussion (Cory & Page, 1978;Druck, 1978); patient-led groups observed by staff (Gould et al, 1975); groups utilizing videotape playback for later discussion (Gunn, 1978;Waxer, 1977); hierarchical systems where patients move from one group to another as they become better able to tolerate interaction (Leopold, 1976;Youcha, 1976}; and education groups aimed not at symptom reduction but at teaching patients to think clinically and respond effectively to their illness (Maxmen, 1978). Other writers have advocated more traditional approaches focusing on discussion and expression of feelings in the here-and-now, but with important modifications to accommodate acutely psychotic patients (Erickson, 1981;Gruber, 1978;Klein, 1977}.…”
