What is the Psycho-Educational Model of Group Therapy?
The Psycho Educational model is a humanistic approach to helping clients modify what stands in the way of "authentically living the vital life." Adaptive coping strategies can be rehearsed and learned within the group therapy or counseling context by means of supportively helping group participants to achieve increasingly clear awareness and mastery of just how they function psychologically.

As one might anticipate, the psycho-educational group therapy approach involves a combination of both psychology and education. Through a tacit acknowledgment of the dynamic influences of past events (faulty learning), many psycho-educational group counseling interventions focus on the present moment as this translates into the functional demands of the forthcoming future.


Seattle Group Therapy and Counseling:
Learn Coping Skills Through the Power of Group Reflection

The emphasis of this psycho-educational orientation for group therapy might be said to focus on the "workability" of observable coping strategies while sustaining commitment to functional behavior change (Hayes, et  al., 1992).  In addition, this approach strongly emphasizes clarification of one's personal values as one anticipates translating these values (behaviorally) into "living the vital life."

Group Counseling and Psychotherapy Can Help You:

  • Enhance self awareness and personal insight
  • Discover and rehearse effective communication
  • Develop coping skills for common problems
  • Learn to apply new behaviors outside the group
  • Receive empathetic support and understanding


Psycho-educational group therapy processes consider the interactive influences or thought and emotion -- mind & body -- and behavioral adaptation. Ultimately we are all "students of life", and the group context promotes new ways of knowing our personal psychology. The power of the group therapy process will surely help you -- "Know Thyself!"
