This study compares TA groups with psychodynamic groups by examining the therapeutic factors perceived as most helpful by group members. Leadership style and session content of both group models are discussed with a focus on the contrast between the individually-based interventions of TA clinicians and the group-based model used by psychodynamic group therapists. The study's results highlight differences in therapist style and content between these two groups. In particular, group-based experiences such as cohesion and universality are less evident in TA groups. The paper invites TA clinicians to maximize the beneficial effects of their interventions by encouraging therapeutic processes unique to group settings
