Are there clinical goals for each group member or are they taking part in the group just to have fun?

In addition to enhancing social skills and communication within the group, each therapist focuses on clinical goals for each group member. Although groups are always fun, therapists are working towards meeting specific therapeutic goals. Creative arts therapy groups are different therefore from art, music, and dance classes as they are not focused on teaching a particular skill. Instead, the focus is on meeting specific clinical goals.
