In reply to Self-help groups....no value to me, posted by jay on January 3, 2003, at 0:14:42
Hi Jay, I've attended both professionally facilitated and non-facilitated groups. They just meet different needs. If you really want feedback and discussion of your issues, then go with the facilitated group. The non-facilitated ones are more just for venting, and getting the feeling that you're not alone (kind of like here).
The non-facilitated groups I attended actually had several therapists as members, and they all seemed to benefit.
