The effects of pretraining on group psychotherapy for incest-related issues.

The effects of written, cognitive pretraining on self-reported self-disclosure and cohesion in group psychotherapy were studied. Subjects were members of time-limited psychotherapy groups that focused on incest-related issues. The experimental groups were given written cognitive pretraining designed to increase self-reported self-disclosure and cohesion. The control groups received general group information. Subjects in the pretrained groups reported higher levels of self-perceived self-disclosure than the control groups after sessions 4 (p = 0.003) and 8 (p = 0.003). Self-reported self-disclosure did not increase over time for pretrained or nonpretrained subjects. Cohesion did not differ across groups, but increased over time for experimental subjects (p = .008), and not for control subjects.

The effects of cognitive pretraining on cohesion and self-disclosure in small groups: an analog study.

This study examined the effects of written, cognitive pretraining on the development of cohesion and self-disclosure in interpersonal learning groups. Subjects in the experimental condition received a written introduction to the group experience, and subjects in the control condition received written information on the history of group psychotherapy. Results demonstrated that the experimental groups had a higher level of group cohesion than the control groups, p < .0001, but were not different on self-disclosure. The correlation between cohesion and self-disclosure was not statistically significant. The results were discussed as an extension of the empirical support for cognitive pretraining.

Community mental health boards: a comparison of their development, functions, and powers by board members and mental health center staff.

Orientations toward citizens' board functioning in a community mental health setting were studied in an urban setting involving 18 community-based mental health centers. Four groups were interviewed: citizen board members, board chairpersons, center staff, and center directors. Groups generally agreed that the primary function of a board is to make certain that community needs are met. Board members and professionals differed in perceptions of reasons for joining boards and, more important, the degree of involvement board members should have. Board members saw their role as advisory, staff favored codecision or advisory, directors favored codecision, and charipersons wanted a stronger board role.
