“…Several comparisons have also been made on the efficacy of group versus individual therapy and the conclusions are that group therapy is as effective as individual therapy for most disorders and conditions (Burlingame & Strauss, 2021). GPGP provides effective treatment to meet the varied public health needs, including evidence-based treatment for the following mental health conditions: schizophrenia (Burlingame et al, 2020); addictions; medical illness; phobias (Schwartze et al, 2017); obsessive-compulsive disorder (Schwartze et al, 2016); bipolar disorder (Soo et al, 2018); depression (Michalak et al, 2015); complicated grief/stress (Supiano et al, 2017); substance abuse (Yeh et al, 2017); eating disorders (Stice et al, 2019); posttraumatic stress disorder and related traumas (Mahoney et al, 2019); borderline personality disorder (McLaughlin et al, 2019); and others.
