3. INTRODUCTION
Group psychotherapy is a treatment in which carefully selected people who are
emotionally ill meet in a group guided by trained therapist, and help one another
effect personality change.
A type of psychiatric care in which several patients meet with
one or more therapists at the same time. The patients form a support group for
each other as well as receiving expert care and advice. The group therapy model
is particularly appropriate for psychiatric illnesses that are support-intensive,
such as anxiety disorders, but is not well suited for treatment of some other
psychiatric disorders.
