“…Yalom and Leszcz (2005) suggested that openly sharing one's inner experiences of other group members (immediacy), and having those experiences accepted by others, builds group cohesion. In addition, prior research (Slavin, 1993) has indicated that here-and-now intragroup communication (i.e., immediacy) predicted group cohesion. Given that interpersonal difficulties in using immediacy are often cited by trainees, it seems worthwhile to examine how immediacy training affects the perceived helpfulness of lab group climate.…”

After they had learned exploration skills, 132 undergraduate helping skills students were taught to use the insight skill of immediacy. After training, students increased in self-efficacy for using immediacy, and catharsis and cohesion increased among lab group members. Students who completed training first (nondelay) had higher self-efficacy post-training than those in a delay condition before they had training. Self-efficacy for immediacy increased after lecture, modeling, and large-group discussion; decreased between lecture and lab; and increased after lab practice. Qualitative results indicated that practice was the most helpful component. Students with the highest initial self-efficacy and prior helping experience (PHE) had the highest post-training self-efficacy, whereas those with the lowest self-efficacy or the highest PHEs had the greatest self-efficacy increases. In addition, cultural background played a role in learning and using immediacy.

TheYalom's 'here-and-now' techniques-activation and illumination is worked particularly in each session of long-term group psychotherapy. Both activation and illumination help therapist interpret, reflect, and clarify individual's behaviors. In the premature, dropping out of group, the therapist also used both in order to do following benefits: reduce the clients' psychological distress, increase individual's self-esteem, and foster client's hope in group session as well as maintain positive outcome of long-term group psychotherapy. The volunteers in long-term group psychotherapy of the Thai Psychotherapist Association was observed and recorded the 'here-and-now' techniques by an observer when the premature drop out presented in the group process. The result of this study showed that most of Yalom's 'here-and-now' activation was demonstrated in premature drop out group.
