Sammanfattning
This article illuminates patient experiences of participating in a theme-based group in a general
psychiatric ward. Seven former patients were interviewed. Qualitative content analysis by Graneheim
and Lundman was used. «Being in a relationship with themselves and others» stands out as the
essence of the patients’ experiences. The findings indicate that the patients «recognized themselves
in each other’s experiences», «experienced cohesion», «felt seen and appreciated», and «challenged
themselves». A type of group therapy that creates a space where the patients can meet each other
with engagement had significance for improving their mental health. Hospitalized patients with
serious mental disorders can benefit from facilitated group therapy, such as theme-based groups.
