- Abstract
This article examines the benefits of group counseling for people with physical disabilities. The needs and concerns that people with disabilities customarily manifest can be classified into eight categories: physical needs, psychological needs, social needs, vocational needs, financial needs, environmental barriers, attitudinal barriers, and recreational needs. Four general group modalities seem to dominate the field: educational groups, social support groups, psychotherapeutic groups, and coping and skill training groups. The therapeutic factors of groups for people with disabilities include: installation of hope; universality; imparting information; altruism; corrective recapitulation of the primary family group; development of socializing techniques; imitative behavior and group cohesiveness.
