 With advantages, there comes the drawbacks as well. So talking about the drawbacks of group practice. Working for a group practice or managing one may not match everyone's personality or career goals. For therapists have established his or her therapy niche and practice less common speciality or ones that is not much demanded, they may not easily find a practice seeking their skill set. So you know, if you have developed your own persona, if you have developed your own skill set and there are a lot of people who just want to learn therapy from you, it may be difficult to involve yourself in group practice. Group practice may work sometimes seems overly routine or offer less outlet to choose one's own client. At times you may be limited by working in group practice because the clients which are coming to you are by the routine or by the system or by the portfolio the secretarial staff has made and they are referring the clients to you according to that. So it limits you. It's possible to earn a higher income than with a group practice but it is not always the case. As many factors may contribute to both revenue and profit. Sometimes you think that group practice may be enriching you financially but sometimes the case may be different because in that group practice all the psychotherapists are equally well-recognized and maybe some clients are not well-recognized in the community. So the tendency to refer clients to other psychotherapists one knows is also a critical issue. Now maybe the client you think you should have referred to he went to your colleague. So sometimes it becomes a very critical issue for yourself and as well as for the client. While referring the therapist one must offer the client a choice among clinician and includes at least one with no linkage to referring party. Ideally speaking it should be on the dissertation of the client that whom he would like to opt for a group practice rather than to enforce that you can only go to a mental health professional. In a group practice the therapist may have little control over any aspect of the practice beyond what take place in the privacy of their therapy sessions. When you are giving your therapeutic service in a private setup the secret of the session, its record keeping as we have talked in detail about issues in secrecy and of record keeping there can be any lapse which is beyond the control of psychotherapists. A fear determination of cost and service use is very important. For example when one of the therapist is in position of power over others by virtue of being senior party and owner of the practice. Like you are working in a group practice one or two people are very senior and the rest are juniors. What is the reason for the earning and who is the distributor these are the issues which may hamper the quality of the group practice and it can create problems from them. Office politics may be less of an issue in a therapeutic practice because most of the people are busy in their sessions they don't get the opportunity to sit down and have a cup of coffee but when we work in a setup then there may be the issues that someone feels that politically their repute is being damaging or you talk to clients in your session about other therapies that they are not that good or you feel more comfortable with me and if you do some violations or break ethical rules you talk about other persons in your therapy sessions and because of that many problems can be created. If the above factors do not pose a problem for the therapist a good practice could potentially be a good fit. If you just overcome all these issues then group practice can be a good business aspect proof. According to the APA group practice work often serves new therapist well by encouraging professional development and offering numerous other benefits as helping as one being established in the mental field. APA says that the new professional mental health people who are entering into the field they get benefit because of this group practice because when they work with a senior and seasoned mental health professional they learned a lot out of it so in this way the group practice could prove to be a better opportunity for the new and emerging mental health professionals.
