Briefly explain how and when a psychoeducational group becomes therapeutic.
What will be an ideal response?
Although a psychoeducational group is not a therapy group, it can be therapeutic when members share feelings and concerns. An example is a one-time group meeting for family and friends of persons in a drug rehabilitation center. The stated purpose may be to provide education about the recovery process to family members and friends, but during the session, group members may share feelings about their loved one's addiction and how it has affected their lives.
