3 hemophiliacs and their wives and 2 couples who were parents of hemophiliacs participated in an 8-mo. group psychotherapeutic program. Based upon clinical observations by the 2 therapists and quantifiable psychological test data, intensive group psychotherapy positively affected members' feelings and self-concepts. Group members showed increased personal awareness, self-satisfaction, and positive feelings as family members, with an accompanying decrease in generalized maladjustment. Use of intensive group psychotherapy in the total management of hemophilia is encouraging of its use in the management of other life-threatening disorders or diseases.
