Cyberbullying among children is increasing every year, leading to serious public health problems. Victims suffer serious aftereffects such as depression and suicidal ideation; therefore, early and appropriate psychological intervention and the role of schools are emphasized. This study investigated the effects of school sandplay group therapy (SSGT) on children affected by cyberbullying. This study was designed as a parallel-group non-randomized controlled trial. The study subjects were 139 elementary school students (mean age 11.35 years; standard deviation, 0.479; age range 12–13 years) residing in Cheonan City, Korea, who were assigned to the intervention and comparison groups. The intervention group received 10 sessions of therapy on a weekly basis, for 40 minutes per session. No therapy was administered in the control group. The effectiveness of the intervention was assessed using the Children Depression Inventory, Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire-Junior, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The assessment for the comparison group was performed concurrently with that of the intervention group. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. In this study, the SSGT group showed a significant decrease in depression and suicidal ideation compared to the control group after sandplay group therapy (SGT), and a significant increase in self-esteem. It was confirmed that SSGT can mitigate the negative consequences of cyberbullying and strengthen protective factors. This suggests that the SSGT can be successfully used for crisis counseling.

Adlerian play therapy is identified as one of the most popular approaches to play therapy and has gained attention of researchers in the recent years. Group counseling is desirable in settings in which there is a scarcity of treatment providers trained in play therapy for the number of children in need of services, such as in schools. This article includes a brief explanation of Adlerian play therapy and group play therapy, a description of Group Adlerian play therapy concepts and skills, as well as a case example. Readers will find theoretical and practical applications of Group Adlerian play therapy for their clinical practice and research.

This article maps the rise and fall of the idea of a (social) group across medicine in the context of contemporary analyses in psychology and sociology. This history shows the early 20th century emergence and growth of group medicine, group therapy and group comparisons. In recent decades, however, the idea that groups constituted the basic units of society has been replaced with the emergence of populations and systems that offer a more virtual and abstract context for individual relationships. This has implications for explanation itself as the demise of groups has changed the epistemological ground-rules for understanding identity formation and social change.

The researchers conducted a systematic exploration of the experiences of expert group work supervisors during the supervision process. This article's purpose is to report results that inform intentional practice and illustrate supervision interventions for group work supervisors. Results indicated that participants experienced an interactive process of apperception and actions situated within the context of their beliefs about group work and supervision and knowledge about multiple levels of the system. This article provides a detailed account of the interrelationship of supervisor understanding and actions, examples of group work supervision interventions, and implications for group work supervision, training, and further research.

Objectives: Motivation to change behavior is an important therapeutic factor that affects treatment outcomes in patients with substance-use disorders. The motivation level influences treatment engagement, retention, and outcomes. Assessment of motivation is an important aspect of management of these patients. Methods: A total of 26 patients admitted in Kasr Al-Ainy Addiction Unit fulfilling Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition criteria of one or more substance dependence disorder were included. Patients were assessed using the Stage of change readiness and the treatment-eagerness scale (SOCRATES) and Addiction Severity Index before attending 4 motivation-incentives group psychotherapy sessions: 1 session/week. Patients were reassessed using SOCRATES after the sessions. Results: SOCRATES increased 3 scales after the motivation-incentives groups; however, recognition and ambivalence scales showed significant increase (P = 0.005 and 0.012, respectively), whereas the increase in the taking steps scale was not statistically significant, with P = 0.125. A best-fit model of regression was calculated for factors that may predict SOCRATES before the group. Age of the patient, education years, main substance of abuse (either tramadol or other substances), history of suicide, previous treatment trial, positive or negative medical history, history of alcohol use, history of legal problems, presence of family issues, and psychiatric complications were predictors of the recognition, ambivalence, and taking steps components of motivation. Conclusions: Short-motivation incentives group therapy may improve the readiness to change in patients with poly-substance dependence.

Objectives Group psychotherapy holds considerable potential for cost‐effective treatment delivery. However, issues with client attendance can compromise the efficacy of such treatments. To date, client specific factors are amongst the most researched predictors of attendance in psychotherapy, with much less of a focus given to process factors, particularly in the group therapy context. This study aimed to determine which process factors influenced attendance in the context of a group therapy programme for adults with anxiety. It was hypothesized that (1) the working alliance and group cohesion would be moderately correlated, (2) both the working alliance and group cohesion would explain unique variance in session attendance, and (3) the working alliance would act as a moderator for attendance, when group cohesion was low. Design The study utilized a within participants design. Methods Participants were 91 adults (aged 18–74?years) who took part in a 9‐week, transdiagnostic cognitive behavioural group therapy programme for the treatment of anxiety disorders. Results Working alliance and group cohesion were significantly, but only moderately correlated (rs ranging .41 to .55). Together, working alliance and group cohesion significantly predicted total session attendance (17.70% variance explained). Working alliance did not moderate the relationship between group cohesion and session attendance. Conclusions The importance of individual and group processes in influencing group therapy engagement is highlighted, including the role of fostering bonds within the group and between clients and therapists. Practitioner points A complex array of process factors has been argued to influence treatment outcomes in group therapy The quality of the relationship between group therapy clients, as well as the relationship between a client and the therapist, predict session attendance. The quality of the relationship between the client and the therapist may be the most important predictor of session attendance. Therapists should foster positive relationships between each client and the therapist in group therapy, as well as assisting each client to foster positive relationships with other group members.

Die PAGE-Studie untersuchte die Wirkungen von ambulanten analytischen/tiefenpsychologisch-fundierten und psychodramatischen Gruppenpsychotherapien im Rahmen einer naturalistischen Studie. 40 erfahrene niedergelassene Gruppenpsychotherapeuten – davon 12 PsychodramtikerInnen – kooperierten in der Studie, die vollständige Datensätze (Prä-Post) von 244 PatientInnen analytischer/tiefenpsychologisch fundierter und von 91 PatientInnen psychodramatischer Gruppentherapien umfasst. Die Effektstärken beider Therapierichtungen sind im internationalen Vergleich überdurchschnittlich hoch (ESPA = 1.33 und ESPD = 1.01) und unterstreichen die Bedeutung von psychotherapeutischen Langzeitbehandlungen bei einer psychisch schwerer belasteten PatientInnen-Klientel. Ein direkter Vergleich beider Therapiekonzepte ist aufgrund unterschiedlicher Inanspruchnahme-Klientelen und unterschiedlicher Therapie-Laufzeiten nicht möglich. Ebenfalls erhobene Therapieziele summierten sich über alle PatientInnen auf fast 2.000 und geben Aufschlüsse über das Verhältnis von intrapsychisch versus interpersonal-sozial verortbaren Zielen.

The main purpose of this study was to examine client-rated appropriateness and preferences regarding the discussion of religious and spiritual concerns in group counseling. Participants were 164 group clients at nine university counseling centers nationwide. Clients volunteered to complete an online questionnaire about their experiences and opinions regarding religion and spirituality in group counseling. The majority of clients indicated that religious concerns are an appropriate topic for group counseling and reported a preference to discuss religious and spiritual concerns with their groups. Regression analyses examined predictors of client-rated (a) appropriateness of discussing religious concerns in group, (b) appropriateness of group leaders using religious or spiritual interventions, and (c) preferences for discussing religious and spiritual issues in group. The most consistent predictors of these ratings were client spirituality, client religious commitment, degree of spiritual struggles, and the frequency with which religion had already been discussed in the clients' specific groups.

Working with groups of people who have been sexually abused introduces mutual experiential themes into the process that can be beneficial and meaningful. This paper discusses brother–sister incestuous sexual abuse with implications for group work. Literature and research is reviewed concerning sexual abuse, incest, family relationships, and theories that aid in explaining incest. Themes covered include: effects of incest, coping methods, blaming, and family of the victim. Common themes are explored and implications for group work are suggested on the basis of length, detail, structure, content, and pre-group contact.
