The remedial model focuses on remedying social dysfunction through a treatment group led by a worker. The group targets individuals experiencing social problems and aims to create individual change through applying theories of role, behavior, ego psychology, and group dynamics. The worker directly intervenes as the leader and change agent to achieve treatment objectives by creating a stable, recognized environment within the agency for regular, frequent group meetings over a set number of sessions.
