Sažetak
The psychiatric ward is a complex organization. It contains two main groups: the patients and the staff. The different needs of each group influence the encounters between patients, the consumers, and staff, the suppliers. We shall discuss those needs and analyze the ways they interfere with or complement the therapeutic group work. For example: staff members need specific therapeutic group work for their professional development, and the patients need the group in order to maintain some form of interpersonal contact and to keep themselves active. The staff holds therapeutic groups in order to monitor the activity on the ward, while the patients seek a space where they can express their concerns about their treatment. Some
vignettes will be presented which demonstrate these different needs, of staff and patients, and the way they were explored in the staff’s group supervision meetings.
