Abstract
This chapter discusses the future directions of cognitive-behavior group therapy (CBGT) in relation to special populations, alternative platforms, and challenges that may arise. Although this updated edition provides an expansive look into many populations of youth that CBGT can be utilized, there may be some populations where a different modality may be more appropriate and other populations of youth that were not highlighted but should be considered for CBGT. As technology expands and clinicians become more comfortable with its use, we speculate a growth and expansion of using CBGT in a virtual format. As the mental health needs of our youth grow, we need to incorporate CBGT into our clinical practice to meet their needs and provide evidence-based therapeutic group techniques.
