          Abstract

          Resumen La psicoterapia de grupo en sus distintas orientaciones y modalidades ha mostrado su utilidad para aliviar y mejorar sufrimientos de diversa índole en diferentes rangos etarios y trastornos psicopatológicos. Representa un valioso instrumento exploratorio, diagnóstico y terapéutico con entidad específica y especificidad propia de intervención en el ámbito de la salud mental infantil por su acción preventiva para la salud mental de futuros adultos. El potencial terapéutico de la psicoterapia de grupo de orientación psicoanalítica con niños se amplía con un enfoque activo, creativo, dinámico y terapéutico del juego, cuyo valor terapéutico a su vez se potencia con los factores terapéuticos de la psicoterapia de grupo. Se plantea ampliar el análisis del discurso grupal con el concepto de discurso grupal del juego, un discurso singular y único en cada grupo que constituye un eje terapéutico central en la psicoterapia de grupo de orientación psicoanalítica con niños que juegan. La implementación de la psicoterapia de grupo con juego requiere bases teóricas sobre la técnica de grupos y del juego con niños, así como formación cualificada e integración de conocimientos, comprensión y experiencia clínica del terapeuta, para desarrollar procesos técnicos complejos, imprescindibles en el trabajo con niños en psicoterapia de grupo.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract Group psychotherapy in its different orientations and modalities has shown its usefulness to relieve and improve suffering of various kinds in different age ranges and psychopathological disorders. It represents a valuable exploratory, diagnostic and therapeutic instrument with a specific entity and its own specificity of intervention in the field of child mental health due to its preventive action for the mental health of future adults. The therapeutic potential of psychoanalytically oriented group psychotherapy with children is expanded with an active, creative, dynamic and therapeutic approach to play, whose therapeutic value is in turn enhanced by the therapeutic factors of group psychotherapy. It is proposed to extend the analysis of group discourse with the concept of group discourse of the game, a singular and unique discourse in each group that constitutes a central therapeutic axis in psychoanalytically oriented group psychotherapy with children who play. The implementation of group play psychotherapy requires theoretical bases on the technique of groups and play therapy with children, as well as a qualified training and the integration of knowledge, understanding and clinical experience of the therapist, to develop complex technical processes, essential in working with children in group psychotherapy.

          Efficacy of group psychotherapy for social anxiety disorder: A meta-analysis of randomized-controlled trials.

          Group psychotherapy for social anxiety disorder (SAD) is an established treatment supported by findings from primary studies and earlier meta-analyses. However, a comprehensive summary of the recent evidence is still pending. This meta-analysis investigates the efficacy of group psychotherapy for adult patients with SAD. A literature search identified 36 randomized-controlled trials examining 2171 patients. Available studies used mainly cognitive-behavioral group therapies (CBGT); therefore, quantitative analyses were done for CBGT. Medium to large positive effects emerged for wait list-controlled trials for specific symptomatology: g=0.84, 95% CI [0.72; 0.97] and general psychopathology: g=0.62, 95% CI [0.36; 0.89]. Group psychotherapy was also superior to common factor control conditions in alleviating symptoms of SAD, but not in improving general psychopathology. No differences appeared for direct comparisons of group psychotherapy and individual psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy. Hence, group psychotherapy for SAD is an efficacious treatment, equivalent to other treatment formats.

              Efficacy of group psychotherapy for anxiety disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

              Objective: This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of group psychotherapy in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Method: A comprehensive literature search using PubMed, PsychInfo, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and manual searches was conducted to locate randomized controlled trials. We found 57 eligible studies (k = 76 comparisons) including 3656 participants receiving group psychotherapy or an alternative treatment for generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. Results: Effect size estimates show that group psychotherapy reduces specific symptoms of anxiety disorders more effectively than no-treatment control groups (g = 0.92, [0.81; 1.03], k = 43) and treatments providing common unspecific treatment factors (g = 0.29 [0.10; 0.48], k = 12). No significant differences were found compared to individual psychotherapy (g = 0.24 [-0.09; 0.57], k = 7) or pharmacotherapy (g = -0.05 [-0.33; 0.23], k = 6). The effects were unrelated to factors of the group treatment. Within head-to-head studies, a significant moderating effect emerged for researcher allegiance. Conclusions: Our results support the efficacy of group psychotherapy for anxiety disorders. They indicate that mixed-diagnoses groups are equally effective as diagnosis-specific groups, although further evidence is required. Future primary studies should address differential effectiveness, include a wider range of therapeutic approaches as well as active comparison groups.
