This study examined the progress of assimilation of problematic experience during group psychotherapy of seventeen clients presenting with social phobia. The data comprised of videotaped and verbatim transcribed sessions from two therapy groups ( n = 10 and 7) of time-limited cognitive-constructive psychotherapy, and was examined using qualitative assimilation analysis. The clients were divided into three subgroups on the basis of their self-descriptions as reported in an earlier study: (1) the other-oriented, (2) the isolated and (3) the self-demanding. The aim of the study was to discover possible similarities within these subgroups and differences between them with respect to their assimilation process. The results showed that all clients progressed in their assimilation process but to different degrees. Some similarities and some differences between the subgroups could be noted. Clients from the self-demanding subgroup reached the highest assimilation levels and this group was the most homogeneous in the progress of assimilation. The groups of the other-oriented and the isolated were more heterogeneous, with some clients in these groups advancing less and some further in their assimilation processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
