Differential Outcomes of Cognitive and Interactional Group Therapies

Fifty-five psychiatric patients in a private mental hospital were assigned to either a brief interactive group therapy (GT) or to a cognitively oriented problem-solving training group (PST) during their short-term hospital stay. Forty-one participants completed this study (twenty males and twenty-one females); twenty-four were in the GT condition and seventeen in the PST condition. Results overall showed no superiority of one approach over the other, and men and women appeared to make the same gains. However, there was a significant interaction between gender and type of group: Women gained more from GT, men more from PST. Possible explanations of this finding and limitations of its generalizability are discussed.
