While the idea that a group size of 8-10 allows for some flexibility with non-attendance and client turnover is a valid consideration, the primary reason practitioners often prefer this group size is related to ensuring maximum participation. A group of this size strikes a balance where enough individuals can contribute, fostering diverse perspectives and interactions, while also being small enough that each member has the opportunity to share and engage actively.

In larger groups, individuals may feel overlooked or hesitant to participate, while smaller groups might lack the variety of viewpoints that enhance discussion. Therefore, an 8-10 member group is ideal for creating a dynamic environment where each member's voice can be heard, fostering inclusivity and engagement in the process.
