[Group round].

Abstract

The traditional clinical round as a means of communication, information and teaching has considerable disadvantages; therefore a procedure is proposed after 5-years testing called "group round" as a supplementary procedure. It spares the time of the physician, enables the orientation in the individual patient and moreover the observation of interaction between the patients themselves and between patients and personal staff and facilitates teaching. The less experienced physician gets an easier approach to group psychotherapy, essential effects of which become effective in the procedure. The breaking of professional secrecy can be avoided.
