What do patients find most helpful in group treatment? Importance of group therapeutic factors in standardized psychological group treatments
Overview
This study investigates which group therapeutic factors (GTF) patients value most in standardized acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) groups. It surveyed 36 participants from primary care and long COVID settings using a validated questionnaire to rate the helpfulness of GTFs versus treatment content. The results indicate that universality, altruism, cohesiveness, and catharsis were rated as the most relevant factors, with many patients valuing these interpersonal elements more than the specific therapeutic content.
