Features: The book was written with the aim of helping to address some special issues in group therapy. As healthcare management agencies strictly limit mental health expenditures based on healthcare standards, psychotherapy faces immense pressure to be as cost-effective as possible. Compared to individual therapy, problem-solving-focused group therapy is both effective and economical. Compared to traditional, empathy-based group therapy models, problem-solving-focused group therapy is characterized by homogeneity, high structure, clear goals, and a distinct educational function. The book outlines many therapeutic issues, the specific goals for addressing these issues, and the interventions guided by various theoretical approaches to achieve these goals. It must be remembered that treatment plans do not replace good clinical training and judgment, as well as the practice of group therapy. On the contrary, to apply the content of this book more effectively, therapists should first possess good clinical practical experience.
