Which statement about the Remedial/Rehabilitative Model of Group Practice is true?

• A. Group as a whole is primary emphasis
• B. Unstructured sessions typical
• C. Uses a medical model and focuses on individual change
• D. Counselor as mediator

Answer: (C)

In the Remedial/Rehabilitative Model of Group Practice, the emphasis is on diagnosing and treating individual problems within the group setting, using a medical-like framework. The goal is to remediate deficits and improve the personal functioning of members, rather than interpreting the group dynamics as the main therapeutic engine. Because of this, the approach is typically more structured and directive, with clear treatment goals and an emphasis on what changes occur within each person. This makes the description that the model uses a medical model and focuses on individual change the best fit. By comparison, other phrases describe approaches where the group as a whole is the primary focus, sessions are more unstructured, or the counselor acts mainly as a mediator, which align with different models.
