description Describes 2 different types of group treatment for potential and actual drug users: the crisis drug group and a community self-help group. It is suggested that schizoid relational ambivalence can be magically solved by drug use by allowing the individual to establish a "mean distance" between himself and others where there is warmth without pain. In a group context, such an individual can be helped to understand his ambivalence and experience good relationships in a safe environment. The crisis drug group is aimed toward acute and chronic users and incorporates special features, E.g., including significant others in sessions. In contrast, the community self-help group deals with teenager-parent interactions, involves members of the community, and is preventive in focus.
