An adult therapy group for depression and anxiety is currently in its 10th of 16 sessions. During this session, the group members markedly are participating more openly. They are supporting and challenging each other, utilizing the skills and strategies they were encouraged to utilize. The group worker is closely observing and chiming in with helpful prompts and affirmations.Sarah, who usually hesitates to share and has been dismissive about some of the therapeutic skills presented in the group, opened up about her recent struggles with self-esteem. She expressed, "I actually have been feeling better since we started, but sometimes I still hear that voice telling me I'm not good enough."John, a group member known for his insightful comments, responded, "Sarah, I can relate to that. I've been working on challenging those negative thoughts with positive affirmations, and it's slowly helping." (In previous sessions, Sarah was very dismissive to John's comments, mostly because she "doesn't trust white men" from previous negative experiences in her life; however, since then, they have grown to appreciate each other.)Maria, another member, nodded in agreement and added, "It's been helpful for me to write down my thoughts and see if they are realistic. Maybe you could try that too?"The therapist observed that the group was facilitating its own discussions and offering constructive feedback. Sarah, who had initially been skeptical about group therapy and these kind of tools, remarked, "I used to think those strategies were bogus, but seeing how they are helping you all, I'm willing to give it a shot."

For the following questions, please utilize the case study from Eugenia.Eugenia has developed a group at her agency for people with a depression diagnosis. The group she develops utilizes art as a medium to express the challenges and hopes participants have for managing their lives with depression and their hopes for the future. She incorporates psychotherapeutic approaches including mindfulness, CBT, etc. To register for the group, patients must have a diagnosis of clinical depression, must agree to a pre-screening, and must have an insurance that is within network for her practice.In her pre-meetings she discusses with each participant that they must commit to all 8 sessions of the group, and for any session they do not attend, they will be billed a no-show fee. Participants must show up to at least the second session if they want to continue with the group, and no new participants are able to join the group after the 2nd session. Each participant signs a contract that states they understand their commitment, and also that they understand the benefits and purpose of the group, as well as the role of the therapist.The overall purpose of the group, explained to each of them in these individual sessions, is to develop strategies to express yourself, find joy, and identify aspirations for the future. Once the group begins, Eugenia has a discussion with the group about what they want to get out of the group, and each of them shares their individual goals and aspirations for the group.For Eugenia's group above, her group would be most accurately described as a:  A. Therapy group B. Support Group C. Task group D. Self-help group
