- The group serves as a means of treatment, where peer interactions and other influences are used to affect members.
- The group also provides opportunities for direct worker-client interactions, contributing to change.
Means of Influence
- Direct means of influence: actions that treat the client, such as worker's use of interventions during face-to-face contacts.
- Indirect means of influence: influencing the conditions of the group to affect members.

Forms of Direct Means of Influence
