Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Working with larger groups allows for more efficient use of the psychotherapist's time and resources, while still providing the service to multiple individuals at once. This is a strategy to deal with the limitation of inseparability, as it allows for the production and consumption of the service to occur simultaneously for multiple individuals. The other options, such as investing in good people, using the Internet, training others, or using television, do not necessarily address the issue of inseparability in the same way as working with larger groups.
