This chapter guides clinicians to expect varying phases of group development, including the beginning, middle, and ending phases. Therapeutic processes that occur among group members include fostering a shared understanding of each others’ hoarding symptoms with a concomitant reduction in feelings of embarrassment and stigma, group cohesion, instilling hope, and encouraging mutual aid. Group leadership (single versus co-leadership) roles and methods are detailed. Therapy-interfering behaviors are illustrated with brief vignettes. A demonstration group of 8 people helps illustrate group intervention methods throughout the group sessions. Group session topics, phases, and processes are detailed in a table that provides an overview of the group CBT.
