title: Group therapy program development: clinician-administrator collaboration in new practice settings.
abstract: Despite being practiced widely and applied to many conditions, group therapy is underutilized in some segments of the market. One important reason for its underuse is the lack of a model for group program development. Program development requires an integrated effort involving many disciplines. Effective collaboration between clinicians and administrators is an essential but underappreciated component in the development of group programs in independent practice associations.
