The group therapy process is a type of psychotherapy that involves one or more therapists working with several people at the same time forming a social environment where others can offer answers or experiences that are similar to others in the group. This type of therapy is used to allow people who need help work with others to learn that others have the same type issues while reducing the cost of therapy by sharing it across a wider group of those counseled. This is a method used widely in private therapeutic practices, hospitals, mental health clinics and community centers. Group therapy is commonly used in a comprehensive treatment plan that also includes individual therapy and medications. A common example of this type support groups is Alcoholics Anonymous.
Social psychology focuses on how individuals are influenced by the presence of others and the social environment, while psychology is a broader field that encompasses the study of behavior and mental processes. Social psychology specifically examines how social interactions, group dynamics, and social norms impact individual behavior and attitudes.

Social psychology and developmental psychology both study human behavior, but with different focuses. Social psychology looks at how individuals are influenced by others and the social environment, while developmental psychology focuses on how individuals grow and change over their lifespan. Both fields are interested in understanding how individuals interact with their surroundings, but social psychology emphasizes social interactions while developmental psychology emphasizes growth and maturation.
