I think both are valid. "V" may have been genuinely caring, but his response was not.
It sounds to me like the therapist was showing that although this made "V" seem uncaring to the rest of the group, his response was actually not due to his lack of care, but due to his discomfort with the lonely feelings. This can have the benefit of showing "V" how uncomfortable he is with such feelings - and maybe he can recognise this and learn from this. And it also shows the group that he is not uncaring, but has a problem with handling the sad feelings of others and so tries to dismiss them.
Group therapy sounds great. I could use some of that.
