The purpose of group psychotherapy is to improve social skills, and help people deal with a range of issues such as anger, and low self-esteem, and change destructive thoughts and habits. Group psychotherapy is typically part of a comprehensive treatment plan to manage the patient’s condition.

Members of the group introduce themselves and discuss their reasons for participating. As the sessions progress, members discuss their advancements, experiences, and challenges since the last meeting. The aims of the group and the therapist’s style strongly influence how the session and any group treatment activities are run. Pain, guilt, or tension can be eased by talking about feelings and experiences with others. Additionally, it offers a secure setting in which patients can test out new behaviors and skills.

People who participate in group therapy for mental health can benefit from encouragement and support from fellow group members. Participants can see how others experience and manage the same thing as them, which can make them feel less alone.

Working with a group allows the therapist to observe each person’s responses and social interaction up close, which can offer valuable insight in the patient’s behavior. Group therapy for mental health also allows people to practice their modified conduct and reactions.

Group therapy for mental health offers the chance for role models to set examples for other group members. It gives everyone hope for healing if they personally witness a group member successfully managing a difficult issue.
