Therapy Groups are designed to help members...

• A. Learn social norms.
• B. Develop leadership skills.
• C. Address community integration.
• D. Change behavior by coping with and improving personal problems and to deal with physical, psychological, or social trauma.

Answer: (D)

Therapy groups focus on helping members change behavior by coping with and addressing personal problems and dealing with physical, psychological, or social trauma. In these groups, members share experiences, receive feedback, and practice coping strategies in a supportive setting, which supports understanding their thoughts and feelings and applying new skills to everyday life. This emphasis on changing personal functioning in the context of distress or trauma is what sets therapy groups apart from other group formats. Learn social norms can be part of groups aimed at social skills, but it doesn’t center on internal change driven by coping with personal problems or trauma. Developing leadership skills belongs to leadership or skills-training groups rather than therapy groups. Addressing community integration refers to connecting with the broader community, which, while important, isn’t the core aim of therapy groups that focus on personal change through coping and healing.
