One of the main differences I noticed between the groups is the level of privacy maintained in therapy. Individuals participating in group therapy is participating with a group of individuals whom they have no connections with the exception of being assigned to the group based on similar participation skill sets. Sharing personal information about oneself to a group of strangers can be a difficult and a counterproductive experience for some. Also, the amount individualized time one receives during the group therapy session is limited. During family therapy, privacy is not maintained; yet the individual’s information is only being shared with other family members willing to participate in therapy for the individual’s wellbeing.
