“…Further clinical evidence reflecting the advantages of group therapy compared with individual therapy was marshalled by Rechtschaffen, Atkinson and Freedman (1953), Brudno and Seltzer (1968), Burnside (1970), Finkel and Fillmore (1971), Blank (1974), Mayades and Hink (1974), Grotjahn (1978), and Hartford (1980). These authors all saw significant beneficial effects on feelings of loneliness, isolation, alienation and low self-esteem (Knight, 1986).…”

“…Lewin (Lewin, 1943) and others (e.g., Allen, 1976;Barnes, Sack and Shore, 1973;Brudno, 1968) have demonstrated the potency of small groups in facilitating resocialization of norms and behavior, while Wolff (1967) and other (e.g., Larson, 1970;Sharkey, 1962) have found group therapy with older adults to be as effective as individual treatment. As Hartford (1980) indicates, "guided group experiences may be geared to helping older people to change false attitudes about aging, to feel better about themselves, and to recover from some of the real losses they have experienced" (p. 807).…”

This paper illustrates the practical application of role theory on behalf of social group work with older adults. Particular attention is given to the role transitions of later life, and to the use of social group work to facilitate constructive adaptation to the psychosocial challenges often faced by older persons. The paper concludes with a description of group developmental processes in resocialization groups based on a role theory perspective.

“…In the past 15 years, the use of group processes with elderly populations has increased dramatically (Petty, Moeller, & Campbell, 1976). Information on group treatment or intervention plans and theoretical and methodological issues appears frequently in gerontological literature (Brudno & Seltzer, 1968;Klein, LeShan, & Furman, 1965;Mayadas & Hink, 1974;Toepfer, Bicknell, & Shaw, 1974;Unger & Kramer, 1968). Such information is lacking, however, in group counseling literature.…”

counseling.In the past 15 years, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of group processes with the elderly. Numerous articles and research studies have reported treatment and intervention plans and theoretical and methodological issues. A review of selected literature in the area of group counseling indicates little or no emphasis on group work with the elderly in texbtooks commonly used in counselor education and counseling psychology programs. To bridge this gap, this article presents an overview of some of the important aspects of group work with the elderly for counselors interested in gerontological Loneliness, isolation, and rejection are conditions often associated with the process of aging in our culture. These conditions, stemming from a myriad of sources, give rise to a high incidence of depression and suicide among the elderly. Much of the literature related to group counseling and group therapy (Lieberman, Yalmom, & Miles, 1973) suggests loneliness and isolation are reduced and the level of social interaction enhanced in groups. Therefore, it seems that group work should be a primary treatment used by those practicing gerontological counseling.
