Group Therapy: A group is designed to address a
specific problem shared by many individuals. The types of problems
can include Anger Management, Depression, Trauma, Addiction, Wellness,
Parenting etc.. A group can take a few different forms. Some groups
are open-meaning the group is on-going and members of the group
can join or leave as they see fit. An example of that kind of
group might be Alcoholics Anonymous or a depression support group.
Other groups are closed. Closed groups have a defined beginning
or end. They do not allow new members to join in the middle of
the group. An example of a closed group might be a 6-week parenting
group. Most groups include some education or skill-building as
well as interaction with the other group members.
