A psychotic dilemma: psychodynamic group therapy for patients with schizophrenia in times of crisis

Psychodynamic group therapy is crucial in supporting patients with schizophrenia, especially during crises, by enabling engagement with core conflicts through relationships rather than symptom formation. However, maintaining therapeutic continuity remains a challenge. Future research should examine group cohesion in various crises and its link to delusional symptoms, as well as strategies to stabilize group therapy and expand PDGT access internationally.

Abstract

Psychodynamic group therapy is crucial in supporting patients with schizophrenia, especially during crises, by enabling engagement with core conflicts through relationships rather than symptom formation. However, maintaining therapeutic continuity remains a challenge. Future research should examine group cohesion in various crises and its link to delusional symptoms, as well as strategies to stabilize group therapy and expand PDGT access internationally.
