ResumoAbstract An evaluation of group counselling for patients with rheumatoid arthritis is reported. The evaluation is based upon qualitative and quantitative results. The two sets of results do not agree: the qualitative results show that group counselling is a therapeutic intervention, whilst the quantitative results show that it makes no difference. The two sets of results are introduced and discussed. It is argued that the qualitative results should be accepted, and the conclusion is drawn that group counselling is a therapeutic intervention for these patients.
