Abstract
Background: The Four-step Integrative Model is a newly designed model for conducting psychotherapy groups. The model was born in Minia University Hospital starting from 2000s. It involves therapeutic work on four levels; starting with psychological needs that are basic and part of our “Fetra”, moving to the wants to fulfill those needs, then working through the human rights to fulfill them and lastly a healthy decision of change.
Subjects & Methods: The major research question was “What are the factors that affect the change process during treatment with the Four-step Integrative Model for Group Psychotherapy?”. In the absence of a known tool to fulfill this aim, the research team designed a specific tool (Minia University Group Experience Associated Change Questionnaire). It was applied to 50 clients attending both Adult Female and Adult Male Minia Psychotherapy Groups for at least 6 months with regular attendance. Analysis was done using both qualitative and quantitative methodology.
Results: Results of this study will be displayed in three categories; the first is exploring the clients’ change process and manifestations, the second is presenting the factors that could have facilitated or hindered change, and the third is investigating the role of the four-step model in that change.
