Depression group therapy

Depressief? Praat dus, we luisteren

Group therapy can be offered on an ongoing basis or for a specific number of sessions. In an ongoing group, once the group starts, it continues indefinitely, with some group members completing treatment and leaving the group, and others joining along the way as openings are available in the group. Most of these groups have between six and twelve members, plus the psychologist. There are some psychologists who have had a therapy group running for ten years or more.

Studies have shown that group therapy has been as effective and, depending on the nature of the problem, sometimes even more effective than individual psychotherapy.
