Group therapy provides the unique opportunity to observe and reflect on your own and others’ interpersonal skills and to give and receive feedback in an interpersonal context that more accurately reflects real life. Under the skilled direction of the therapist, the group is able to give support, offer alternatives, or gently confront the person. Through this process, insight is gained, alternative behaviours are learned, and the person develops new and more effective ways of relating to others.

Some of the benefits of group therapy plantation may include:

Hope

Guidance

Social skills building

Catharsis

Existential factors

Interpersonal learning

Resolution of family issues

Altruism
