Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

French

The three techniques of Role Playing, Paralleling, and Empathy are defined and illustrated as to their functions in an “Insight Group”, in relation to the three major group goals of:

Heightening Openness and Self-Awarness

Provision of Constructive Feedback.

Group as a Ground for Using Constructive Feedback.

It is hoped that the article will made its readers aware that Occupational Therapists are moving more intensively into the role of group therapists, and that the three techniques can be powerful tools for stimulating therapeutic group processes, and deepening insights.
