According to attachment theory and research, a supportive social or therapeutic group can assuage relational worries and promote members' sense of attachment security (or felt security, confidence that others will be supportive when needed), which is crucial for sustaining goal pursuit, social relations, and mental health. As yet, however, little is known about the group provisions that move attachment-insecure members toward greater security. In this article, we propose that the Attachment Security Enhancement Model, which was originally developed to explain attachment processes within couples, can also explain security enhancement in group settings. Within this framework, we first conceptualize the specific group provisions that are critical for fostering security among attachment-insecure members. We then discuss how a particular kind of group interactions-playful ones-might facilitate security-enhancement processes, and we present a clinical vignette illustrating the therapeutic value of such interactions.

This qualitative research refers to the patients' perspective on the therapeutic factors operating in long-term group therapy of an integrated systemic orientation (ISO). Semi-structured interviews of members of two long-term ISO psychotherapy groups were conducted in three phases: the first, second, and third year of their group psychotherapy. The research sample consisted of 13 participants. The data was analyzed through an interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results confirmed the classification of Yalom's therapeutic factors. However, an additional therapeutic factor emerged, the "development of pluralistic perspectives" that appears more clearly from the second year of therapy onward. Moreover, from the second year onward, the categories "existential factors" and "interpersonal learning" get strengthened. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
这项定性研究从患者的角度探讨了综合系统取向(ISO)长期小组疗法中的治疗因素。研究分三个阶段对两个长期 ISO 心理治疗小组的成员进行了半结构式访谈:小组心理治疗的第一年、第二年和第三年。研究样本包括 13 名参与者。通过解释现象学分析法对数据进行了分析。结果证实了雅洛姆的治疗因素分类。不过,从治疗的第二年开始,出现了一个额外的治疗因素,即 "多元视角的发展",这一点更加明显。此外,从第二年开始,"存在因素 "和 "人际学习 "这两个类别得到了加强。本文讨论了局限性和未来发展方向。

This paper offers a brief overview of the historically predominant form of psychotherapy research both for individual and group psychotherapies, the randomized control trial (RCT), and its surrounding controversies and critiques as the backdrop from which new directions in both clinical theory building and research are being pursued, including efforts at building integrative models of treatment. The paper explores one promising integrative model, namely the incorporation of process and dynamic orientations into the province of group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and identifies challenges in implementing this model.
