Use of the Social Relations Model by Group Therapists: Application and commentary

Article Abstract:

The Social Relations Model (SOREMO) of David Kenny was used to investigate the relationship of patient positive in regard to the outcome of time-limited, short-term group therapy for psychiatric outpatients with complicated grief. A simpler method was used to calculate variables that were analogous to the Perceiver Effect and Target Effect variables of the SOREMO and these variables yielded similar outcome of findings, and is represented as a more feasible choice for group therapists.
