Group psychotherapy, or group therapy, relates to the treatment of a group of patients or clients at one time. More often than not, group therapy sessions are done among patients suffering from the same psychological problems or situations. It is believed that group therapy helps an individual to relate his experiences to that of the others in the group. Examples of these groups are those that address grief, addiction, and weight watching. One or more therapists can administer group therapy sessions.
- The first activity in group therapy is the icebreaker. This part basically involves the self-introduction of each participant to the group. This activity establishes trust and comfort among the participants of the group therapy session. Although it is not guaranteed that each patient will feel at ease right away, an icebreaker will always lessen the feeling of inhibition among participants.
