Abstract
This study was conducted at an out-patient clinic employing group therapy techniques, where some workers felt that a balance between frequent participators and more silent members was advantageous to the group as a whole. As Taylor (1961) has observed, frequent speakers tend to withdraw from groups if not given enough scope for participation. Very silent members sometimes have difficulty in establishing themselves at all, yet the lack of even one active member may lead to a decline in group morale, hence in motivation to continue treatment.
