	CORK Bibliography: Group Therapy
		Network therapy was developed as a specialized type of combined individual and group therapy to ensure greater success in the office- based treatment of addicted patients by using both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches to individual therapy while engaging the patient in a group support network composed of family members and peers.
		Patients were followed-up until their discharge or withdrawal from the group to determine their retention in therapy, and to examine the effect of gender, age and family situation on compliance.
		The group psychotherapy of adolescents comorbid for psychiatric and substance abuse problems is fraught with inconsistent attendance, frequent verbal and physical disruptions by the adolescents, and intense countertransference toward patients and their parents on the part of treating staff.
