Nota bene that my comments on the potential dangers of subgrouping apply to groups that rely heavily on the therapeutic factor of interpersonal learning. In other types of groups, such as cognitive-behavioral groups for eating disorders, extragroup socializing has been shown to be beneficial in altering eating patterns.10 Twelve-step groups, self-help groups, and support groups also make good use of extragroup contact. In support groups of, for example, cancer patients extragroup contact becomes an essential part of the process, and participants may be actively encouraged to contact one another between sessions as an aid in coping with the illness and its medical treatment.11 On many occasions, I have seen the group rally around members in deep despair and provide extraordinary support through telephone contact.
