Group Therapy:

"I've been in individual therapy or couples therapy and have made some progress, but I'm not sure where to go from here."

Group therapy is helpful for someone who has already begun to handle some of his or her defensive styles. Most often, it is used as an adjunctive treatment with on-going individual or couples work. Most therapists request a minimum commitment of six months to a year in order to maintain the integrity of the group's dynamics and to ensure lasting changes.
