Description
Summary:Group psychotherapy asks a good deal of clinicians, including attending to member selection, understanding group process, and monitoring client outcomes. The use of practice-based evidence (PBE) is a significant part of developing an evidence-based group psychotherapy practice. Client-generated data, obtained through the use of systematic measures, supplements clinical judgment by taking the "vital signs" of group members. This article globally addresses the supplementation of group psychotherapy with practice-based data and provides information for clinicians about the potential use of PBE in their psychotherapy groups.
