N2  - Group psychotherapy is an attempt at mass therapy of the delinquent and inadequate former soldiers being processed at an Army rehabilitation center, where restoration to duty or transfer to a disciplinary barracks is determined. Group and individual integration is fostered in an atmosphere of neutral give-and-take through the mechanism of identification, catharsis, and abreaction. The psychopathic, immature, and mentally deficient are drawn into the social experience and maturate along with the group. Mental hygiene concepts are presented in a therapeutic atmosphere through the medium of visual aids in large heterogeneous and small homogeneous groups.<p />
