Medical College of Pennsylvania at Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute

Previous research on social skills training has demonstrated its usefulness as an adjunct treatment for a variety of psychiatric disorders. At the Medical College of Pennsylvania at Eastem Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute, an acute-care psychiatric hospital, a social skills training group has been in operation for over 3 years. The group is unique in its format in several ways that are described in this article. Data collected over the 3-year period are also presented. The major findings indicate that even over a very brief period of time during an acute hospitalization, patients can learn basic conflict resolution skills. Some predictors of skill acquisition were also identified.
