Cases of cognitive and behavioral disorders have critically increased, especially in the last few decades. Multiple techniques have been established to offer necessary intervention and support for people with varying behavioral disorders (MedCircle, 2019). The data and information by Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy and other sources used in the paper are scholarly since they have relied on internal and external data for validation an explanation. According to PsychexamReview (2019) cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is among the most successful and medically endorsed strategy for managing and supporting patients with varying cognitive and behavioral disorders. However, research by MedCircle (2019) identifies multiple similarities and differences between the use of cognitive behavioral therapy within the group compared to the family or individual setting. Some of the paramount factors or characteristics differentiating the CBT in groups compared to family and individual settings include the methodology, the mode of interaction, the goal, the learning theories or techniques, the phases and procedures of assessment, and the mode of gathering and validating information.
Cognitive behavioral therapy in groups involves evaluating the unique needs of various individuals involved in the care process. Hence, professional therapists and others involved care providers' group patients in the order of unique needs and preferences. Cognitive group therapy is unique in that it critically utilizes a shared learning methodology to enhance vital skills among the participants (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2018). Some key skills provided or facilitated by cognitive group therapy include coping skills, emotional intelligence, cognitive abilities, openness, and relational abilities. According to MedCircle (2019), the care methodology is also a unique characteristic that differentiates cognitive behavior therapy in the group compared to the family or individual settings. For instance, cognitive behavioral therapy in the group setting involves setting a care or routine procedure that subjects members to a common routine (MedCircle, 2019). Hence, the speed of intervention or care in cognitive group therapy occurs at a predictable pace.
