Definition:
Group therapy is therapy is therapy that is done with three or more people. As it is therapy, a therapist runs the group. Groups generally have rule within the group that what is said there says there, and often participants are discouraged from meeting outside of the group.
Groups can be structured as time limited closed groups, or they can be open evolving groups, where the therapist regularly introduces new participants as spaces open up.
The group dynamic can be very effective for some, especially those with Borderline Personality Disorder, as the entire group assists in confronting dysfunctional thought patterns.
