Form of psychiatric treatment one can't receive? (5,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

group therapy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'form' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'psychiatric treatment one can't receive?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'treatment' could be 'therapy' ('therapy' can be a synonym of 'treatment') and 'therapy' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'group' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for group therapy that I've seen before include "Psychological treatment via social interaction" , "Analysis for several people together" , "rehab class" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
