Q

Imparting Information

A

While this is not strictly speaking a psychotherapeutic process, members often report that it has been very helpful to learn factual information from other members in the group. For example, about their treatment or about access to services.

Q

Corrective Recapitulation of the Primary Family Experience

A

Members often unconsciously identify the group therapist and other group members with their own parents and siblings in a process that is a form of transference specific to group psychotherapy. The therapist’s interpretations can help group members’ gain
understanding of the impact of childhood experiences on their personality, and they may learn to avoid unconsciously repeating unhelpful past interactive patterns in present-day relationships.

22
Q

Development of Socializing Techniques

A

The group setting provides a safe and supportive environment for members to take risks by extending their repertoire of interpersonal behavior and improving their social skills

23
Q

Imitative Behavior

A

One way in which group members can develop social skills is through a modeling process, observing and imitating the therapist and other group members. For example, sharing personal feelings, showing concern, and supporting others.

24
Q

Cohesiveness

A

It has been suggested that this is the primary therapeutic factor from which all others flow. Humans are herd animals with an instinctive need to belong to groups, and personal development can only take place in an interpersonal context. A cohesive group is one in
which all members feel a sense of belonging, acceptance, and validation.

25
Q

Existential Factors

A

Learning that one has to take responsibility for one’s own life and the consequences of one’s decisions.

26
Q

Catharsis

A

Catharsis is the experience of relief from emotional distress through the free and uninhibited expression of emotion. When members tell their story to a supportive
audience, they can obtain relief from chronic feelings of shame and guilt.

27
Q

Interpersonal Learning

A

Group members achieve a greater level of self-awareness through the process of interacting with others in the group, who give feedback on the member’s behavior and impact on others.

28
Q

Self-Understanding

A

This factor overlaps with interpersonal learning but refers to the achievement of greater levels of insight into the genesis of one’s problems and the unconscious motivations that underlie one’s behavior.

29
Q

American Society of Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama founded by Moreno in 1942

American Group Psychotherapy Association founded in 1942 by Samuel Slavson

Association for Specialists in Group Work division of ACA
