Abstract
The involvement of a number of psychiatric hospital staff members in group psychotherapy meetings constitutes multiple therapy. In such a situation one staff member is customarily assigned the role of ‘therapist’ and the rest are called ‘observers'. Observers are often passive, but they may participate in the group proceedings as co-therapists (MacLennan, 1965; Bloom and Dobie, 1969). Multiple therapy is said to enhance treatment (Mullan and Sanguiliano, 1960; Rubins, 1967), but this may be a rationalization to excuse its continued practice (MacLennan, 1965), particularly as it is so useful for training staff in group psychotherapy (Gans, 1962).
