Abstract

Introduction: There is a need within counselling and psychotherapy to ensure their ability to respond to endemic presences such as the COVID-19 pandemic, by utilising rapid technological advances without compromising effectiveness. To do so, existing research about online group therapy must be built upon to provide a comprehensive understanding of the efficacious delivery of this therapy modality. Thus, a systematic review was conducted to collate what is currently known in the published and grey literature on online group therapy, using the PRISMA framework. Thirty-three articles were identified as including information regarding facilitating group therapy online. After appraising each article using appropriate quality appraisal tools, a thematic analysis was conducted on the papers, arriving at seven main themes summarising the main findings regarding online versus in-person groups, group planning, counselling micro skills, group processes, ethics, technology, and unique online therapy issues. There is a growing but incomplete body of knowledge that informs the group therapist regarding the ethical delivery of groups online. A more comprehensive review can enable group therapists to feel confident they are across best practice guidelines. Limitations and research implications are considered.

在线团体心理治疗:系统回顾
导言:咨询和心理治疗需要在不影响疗效的前提下,利用快速发展的技术,确保有能力应对 COVID-19 等流行病。为此,必须以现有的在线团体治疗研究为基础,全面了解这种治疗方式的有效性。因此,我们采用 PRISMA 框架进行了一次系统性回顾,以整理目前已发表和灰色文献中有关在线团体治疗的内容。结果发现有 33 篇文章包含了有关促进在线团体治疗的信息。在使用适当的质量评估工具对每篇文章进行评估后,我们对论文进行了主题分析,总结出七大主题,分别涉及在线团体与面对面团体、团体计划、微观辅导技能、团体过程、伦理、技术以及独特的在线治疗问题。有越来越多的知识可以为团体治疗师提供有关在线团体伦理的信息,但这些知识并不完整。通过更全面的审查,可以让团体治疗师确信他们遵循了最佳实践指南。我们还考虑了局限性和研究意义。

期刊介绍: Community Mental Health Journal focuses on the needs of people experiencing serious forms of psychological distress, as well as the structures established to address those needs. Areas of particular interest include critical examination of current paradigms of diagnosis and treatment, socio-structural determinants of mental health, social hierarchies within the public mental health systems, and the intersection of public mental health programs and social/racial justice and health equity. While this is the journal of the American Association for Community Psychiatry, we welcome manuscripts reflecting research from a range of disciplines on recovery-oriented services, public health policy, clinical delivery systems, advocacy, and emerging and innovative practices.
