Individual or Group Therapy? Indications for Optimal Therapy

Robi Friedman

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Different therapeutic modalities have differential value in curing disorders. Group therapy and individual therapy may be complementary rather than alternative approaches; thus in therapeutic reality-both may be a 'must' in order for one to develop and get healthy. The unique advantages of small and median groups in the optimal treatment of personal and interpersonal patterns should be used in order to revise our therapy indication system.
