Interactive group psychotherapy

© Copyright 2026 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

Common Language Description

Interactive group psychotherapy, as denoted by CPT® Code 90857, refers to a specialized form of group therapy that employs various interactive techniques to facilitate communication among participants. This type of psychotherapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who may struggle with traditional verbal communication, such as small children or those with developmental challenges. The use of toys, physical aids, and nonverbal interaction allows therapists to create a more engaging and accessible environment for patients, enabling them to express their thoughts and feelings in a manner that feels comfortable and natural. By fostering a supportive group dynamic, interactive group psychotherapy aims to enhance emotional expression, social skills, and overall psychological well-being among participants.
