ABSTRACT
The group experience provides for clients a forum for which they can reflect upon others’ responses to their words and actions. It creates an opportunity to see themselves through the eyes of their group brethren and allows them to respond to their issues in ways that disclose their feelings and promote more direct responses. As a confidence builder, group therapy provides a safe environment wherein an insecure individual can practice intimidating interactions and learn various perspectives from others in similar situations. Support and reassurance from the group can be very empowering.
