group experience

in group psychotherapy and counseling, the interactions that give each client in the group an opportunity to gain insight into his or her problems by sharing with and learning from other members. The group experience is particularly valuable in helping clients understand how they are perceived by other people. When group therapy or counseling is given in addition to individual intervention, it allows the therapist or counselor to observe the client’s emotional difficulties as revealed in group interactions.
