Running head: INTERVENTIONS FOR GROUP THERAPY 1 Apply Evaluation Findings: Intervention for Group Therapy Rachel Stover SWK 656 Indiana Wesleyan University

INTERVENTIONS FOR GROUP THERAPY 2 What is the author informing the reader about The author of this chapter in the book I found, is talking about how Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Behavioral Therapy is beneficial for those who attend group therapy. One of the examples used on how CBT and Behavioral Therapy can work in group therapy is during a group that is for social anxiety disorder (SAD), it is crucial for the client to be around others going through the same thing because it will help them get used to be in a social setting and help them cross certain barriers. What was interesting about the article One thing that I liked about the article is that in the beginning, it talked about the challenges that could rise when utilizing CBT and behavioral therapy in a group setting. Some of those barriers were identified as “clients may differ in their level of motivation, comprehension, or symptom profiles” (Beiling, McCabe, & Antony, 2022, p. 57) . Another thing I liked about this book section is it talked about different behavioral strategies you can utilize in group therapy such as “exposure-based strategies (e.g., situational exposure, role play, and simulated exposure, imaginal exposure)” (Beiling, McCabe, & Antony, 2022, p. 57) What was confusing about the article One thing that was confusing to me is the use of imaginal exposure in group setting. “Imaginal exposure may involve (1) having a client describe a feared memory or image out loud, (2) having a client write about a feared outcome, (3) having the therapist read a description of a feared image or scenario to a client, or (4) having a client silently bring a feared image to mind” (Beiling, McCabe, & Antony, 2022, p. 60) . Why would you use imaginal exposure with a client in a

INTERVENTIONS FOR GROUP THERAPY 3 group setting? I feel like this is something that would be best done in a private one-on-one session. Would you use this intervention, if so, how? Both CBT and behavioral therapy are interventions I would use in a group setting, especially when working with clients who struggle with mental health i.e. anxiety and depression. I feel by doing behavioral therapy through role play would help clients be able to overcome certain things they fear. For example, if someone who struggles with social anxiety has an invitation to a party, it would be best for the therapist to guide them through what could possibly happen at the party to help the client be prepared to go to it. Modifications to this intervention for other types of therapy I do not think any modification need to be made to these interventions. However, if I were to utilize behavioral therapy, role play for example, in an individual setting, I as the therapist would just role play with the client instead of having them role play with other group members. I think CBT and behavioral therapy are both good interventions to use in a group setting.
