Problem-solving groups teach the skills necessary to solve problems. A patient with multiple problems will benefit from learning the process for problem solving, because the multiple problems to which he or she refers probably will not be resolved during a short inpatient stay. The scenario does not pose problems with social skills or medication. Psychodrama is rarely offered in an inpatient setting.
