ABSTRACT
Reducing isolation. The greatest effect of people meeting together is in reducing their feelings of isolation, irrespective of the content of the group meetings.
Support. This has an important function in the change process that occurs in therapy. Although an integral feature of group therapy, the nature of the support often happens without planning. In any group meeting clinicians should not underestimate the significance of clients meeting together, talking about issues, hearing each other and empathising.
