title: A contract for co-therapists in group psychotherapy.
abstract: In summary, the relationship between two therapists who choose to conduct a group utilizing the co-therapy model is extremely important. Co-therapy is truly a collaborative effort. It is built on mutual respect and caring. It takes two mature individuals who are willing to work as a team and share in the responsibility for the group. Ten points to consider for a co-therapy contract agreement were proposed to assist in the development of this relationship. If two therapists are able to work together effectively the rewards are endless for both clients and therapists.
