A group may have 20-40 members on average. Which type is this?

• A. Counseling
• B. Psychoeducational
• C. Psychotherapy
• D. Self-help

Answer: (B)

Psychoeducational groups are built to deliver information and teach specific skills to a larger audience, so their typical size is bigger—often 20 to 40 participants. The structure centers on a planned curriculum, with a facilitator presenting material, guiding practice, and encouraging discussion to help members learn and apply new concepts. Other types emphasize different dynamics: counseling groups focus more on personal growth through interpersonal interaction and usually stay smaller to allow depth of sharing; psychotherapy groups prioritize process-oriented exploration of emotions and relationships, also tending to be smaller to maintain safety and intimacy; self-help groups are often peer-led and can vary in size, not always following a formal, curriculum-based format.
