The chapter is not a research study. Therefore, it does not contain research findings, methodology, or results that are linked to a specific hypothesis. Instead, it focuses on the unique problems that exist in correctional settings. These problems fall into three broad categories: the population, the setting, and policies. Each of these areas can bring its own challenges to the counselor, and the chapter attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges they can pose and the ways that a professional can deal with those challenges.

Therefore, one of the risks of the team leaders in those settings is that they will get immediately to the subject matter of the group.

Shelters are an essential resource for victims because they offer females and kids security and link them with social, legal, and financial resources (Dutton, 1992).

Group Therapy: Stages and Process Group therapy has become a popular method for treating a wide range of addictions, disorders, and grief processes. As Corey and Corey (1997) state: "Groups provide a natural laboratory that demonstrates to people that they are not alone and that there is hope for creating a different life" (p. 5) Other benefits of group therapy include information-sharing, a sense of belonging, catharsis, emotional support, progress through
