Prediction of Participation in Group Psychotherapy from Measures of Intelligence and Verbal Behavior
This preliminary study presents a fairly quick, simple diagnostic procedure for selection of patients for assignment to group psychotherapy in large NP hospital settings. To our knowledge, this seems to be the first practical local normative attempt to deal with this everyday problem. The product-moment correlations among several measures of intelligence, verbal behavior, and participation scores in group therapy as measured by B. C. Finney's Interaction Scale ( 2 ) were investigated in order to determine whether one or more fairly rapid tests could be utilized as screening devices.
