ANS: B
Because inpatient stays are so short and accountability is a major treatment issue, inpatient groups typically have short-term, goal-oriented sessions designed to teach patients more adaptive strategies for coping with life’s problems. Beneficial effects are often lasting. Patients with or without verbal skills may be helped by selected types of groups. Insight-oriented therapy is conducted on an outpatient basis and usually occurs over the long term.
