Short-Term Group Therapy for People in Crisis
Abstract
The author describes a short-term group therapy program that he believes is more effective than the traditional one-to-one approach for people in crisis. The group focuses on the problems of one member at a time and helps him examine his role, identity, and value system, the significant people in his community, and his ability to appreciate the positive things that exist within himself. Short-term goal-setting, self-evaluation, and written homework assignments are used to teach the client a new process that can help him look at his life positively and accept defeats and failures as a part of the growth process.
