Carl is involved in a therapy group in which he is frequently asked to role-play various people and even inanimate objects in order to gain more access to feelings from which he has been cut off. The therapist facilitating the group is rather imaginative when suggesting activities for the group and has been known to be challenging every now and then. Carlas therapy group is most likely based on the principles of:
gestalt therapy
person centered therapy
interpersonal therapy
cognitive therapy
