Abstract
A T Group was studied to test hypotheses that: (1) some members would show higher Problem Expression Scale (PES) ratings of samples of their speech near the end of their group experience than at the beginning, and (2) the members showing the most PES improvement will be those members who enter into the most interpersonal relationships in which the members perceive one another as high in level of regard, empathy, congruence, and unconditionality of regard. Of the nine students and one trainer in this study, four had significantly positive PES changes. Moreover, the number of mutually perceived therapeutic relationships in which a member participated was related to improvement of PES ratings. Replication of this study, using a larger n, seems justified.Keywords
