Ethical and legal considerations of psychotherapy vary significantly between the individual, group, and family therapy which impacts therapeutic approaches. For instance, informed consent is ordinarily by an individual and a group in individual and group therapy respectively. Similarly, privacy and confidentiality are more with the individual than group or family therapy (Avasthi et al., 2022). Likewise, documentation, competency, and responsibilities of a therapist and therapeutic contracts also differ (Avasthi et al., 2022). For instance, a therapist working with individual documents and uses skills and knowledge tailored towards the individual while a therapist working with a group must be skilled and use appropriate knowledge that upholds the interests of the group over individual interests. Similarly, working with a group is quite challenging as sharing of the information may be hindered. Legally, issues of false memories, expert opinion, and professional negligence become more difficult to handle in a court of law concerning group therapy than individual therapy (Avasthi et al., 2022). Consequently, a therapist must establish a therapeutic relationship, be competent and responsible, and identify these variations to deliver the appropriate level of care.<\/p>\n
