Looking for new and more effective ways to treat their clients' problems, counselors and therapists may often begin to consider conducting a group therapy session. Group therapy is a form of therapy in which a therapist treats or provides psychoeducational skills to a small, carefully planned target group of individuals, in an attempt to jointly improve the problems and dysfunctions of each individual in that particular patient group (Scheidlinger, 2004). ). In this group, therapists often use some of the psychotherapy theories such as Gestalt, transactional analysis, psychotherapy, or psychodrama which they often use to treat clients individually. Counselors regularly decide which school of thought they will primarily use with their clients, most often based on a combination of the orientation of the program in which they were primarily trained, their personal views and opinions, and their experience personal therapy. There are some therapists who consider themselves purists and generally adhere only to a particular theoretical practice; However, it is becoming increasingly rare to meet a therapist, counselor or psychologist who still considers himself a purist in this sense. Many theories have been realized to offer potentially useful counseling methods (Lazarus, 2005), and some therapists find that certain aspects of certain theories are easier to manipulate to help different clients overcome different problems. The same goes for therapists who decide to lead or co-lead psychotherapeutic or psychoeducational groups.
