Abstract:
Therapy is not real life. At its best it is a metaphorical working-through of representations of real life and is a preparation for major change. So group therapy is not a substitute for missing relationships and defective social linkages in the lives of the aged. But group treatment does partially compensate for some gaping deficits in the lives of aged clients.
