Communication difficulties among psychiatrists
Article Abstract:
Psychiatric disorders are disturbances of the interpersonal and intrapersonal communication. The factors that mediate human interpersonal and intrapersonal interactions are modelled by communication. Distortions in the communication process leads to the development of emotional disorders. Furthermore, the correction of distortions in communication will eliminate the patient's emotional disorder by restoring normal interpersonal and intrapersonal communication.

The concept of identification in group psychotherapy
Article Abstract:
Group psychotherapy evaluates the interaction of individual personalities and the factors that influence the dynamics of two-party communication. Evaluation of the unconscious processes that affect group interaction depends on the perception of the observer. The outcome of group therapy is therefore affected by the perception of the analyst on the unconscious and non-verbal interactions that mediate the interactions of individual personalities.
