a. The group members serve as role models.
b. The group provides a place to belong.

B
The major benefit of group therapy for clients is that the group provides a place to belong. Therapy groups are not a place to have intimacy needs met, which may be the focus of singles groups. Also, while some group members may serve as role models and group members can learn about the problems of others, these are not the focus of therapy groups nor major benefits.
