Psychiatry related information on Group Processes

• Four key components are integrated into a 6-week, court-ordered program (14 total contact hours): the Trauma Experience (tour, video, discussions), the Victim Impact Panel (presented by parent survivors), Group Process, and Community Networking (individualized mental health referral) [1].

High impact information on Group Processes

• METHODS: A list of items considered to reflect damage in SLE was generated through a nominal group process [2].
• RESULTS: The motivational group attended significantly more group meetings (13.3 vs. 8.9), completed significantly more food diaries (15.2 vs. 10.1), and recorded blood glucose significantly more often (46.0 vs. 32.2 days) than the standard group [3].
• We evaluated the efficacy of educational group meetings with NIDDM patients on improving their knowledge of the disease and on disease management [4].
• The causal relationship between nimesulide and liver injury was assessed, using a scoring system elaborated by the French and International consensus meeting group [5].
• Those who were labelled as depressives in a rural survey were randomly divided into a Medicine group (who received antidepressive drug treatment), a Placebo group (who received placebo) and a Natural Process group (who received no treatment) [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Group Processes

• In this paper, I review the history of the Canopy Processes Group, show how the research focus has changed and broadened, and provide a brief overview of some of the problems that remain to be solved [7].
• During the last ICH Expert Working Group meeting for Safety Pharmacology in February 2002 in Brussels, the appended step 2 S7B document on QT Prolongation was signed off [8].
• While the literatures on group process and organization development contain some work on intergroup phenomena (e.g., Aldrich, 1971; Baker and O'Brien, 1971; Klein et al., 1971; Mills, 1975; Walton, 1972), much conceptual work remains to be done [9].
• Report on the Second technical advisory group meeting to stop TB in the Western Pacific Region, Beijing, China 4-6 June 2001 [10].
• Neighbouring group processes in the deamination of protonated phenylalanine derivatives [11].

Gene context of Group Processes

• The Sliding Person Test (SPERT), an abstract, nonverbal measure of self-reported, ideal self-discrepancy was administered three times a week, for seven consecutive weeks to 27 subjects after regularly scheduled group meetings [12].
• Standardization of hematopoietic stem cell assays: a summary of a workshop and working group meeting sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute held at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD on September 8-9, 1998 and July 30, 1999 [13].
• Ninety-eight female volunteers completed both forms three times during a 6-month period; forms were initially completed by participants at a group meeting (T1) and, subsequently, 2 months (T2) and 4 months (T3) later, by mail [14].
• METHODS: Four group meetings funded by the EEC have enabled definition of a "Core Dataset" to be collected from all centres regardless of specific project aim [15].
• Observations of the group show that members were able to discuss their feelings about having epilepsy, and the difficulties the disorder caused in all areas of their lives, and to tolerate and learn from seizures which took place during group meetings [16].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Group Processes

• INTERVENTION: Low-carbohydrate diet (initially, <20 g of carbohydrate daily) plus nutritional supplementation, exercise recommendation, and group meetings, or low-fat diet (<30% energy from fat, <300 mg of cholesterol daily, and deficit of 500 to 1000 kcal/d) plus exercise recommendation and group meetings [17].
