Question | Answer |
Group Dynamics | Forces which influence the nature of small groups, the interrelationships of their members, the events that typically occur in small groups and the outcome of these groups |
Group Norms | Standards of behavior and attitudes that are considered appropriate and acceptable to the group |
Group Roles | Patterns of behavior typical in groups -- Functional roles include Instrumental roles (initiator, organizer) & Expressive roles (encourager, compromiser) -- Dysfunctional roles are Individual roles (aggressor, blocker) |
Group Goals | Desired outcomes of the group shared by a sufficient number of the group's members |
Group Communication | Process of giving, receiving, and interpreting information through verbal & nonverbal expressions |
Group Decision Making | Process of agreeing on a resolution to a problem |
Group Development | 7 phases/stages groups typically go through from beginning to termination |
Origin Phase | Stage 1 of group development -- leader composes group protocol & planning (size member characteristics, location of meetings) |
Orientation Phase | Stage 2 of group development -- members learn what group is about - make preliminary commitment to group, develop initial connections with other members |
Intermediate Phase | Stage 3 of group development -- members develop interpersonal bonds, group norms and specialized member roles thru involvement with goal-directed activities |
Conflict Phase | Stage 4 of group development -- members challenge group structure, purpose, and/or process -- characterized by dissension & disagreements |
Cohesion Phase | Stage 5 of group development -- members regroup after a conflict with a clearer sense of purpose and reaffirmation of group norms/values |
Maturation Phase | Stage 6 of group development -- members use energy and skills to be productive and to achieve group goals |
Termination Phase | Stage 7 of group development -- dissolution of group due to lack of engagement of members, inability to resolve conflict, administrative constraints, or lack of goal attainment |
Directive Leadership | Therapist is responsible for planning & structuring of group -- needed when members cognitive, social, verbal skills, and engagement is lacking (parallel, project) |
Facilitative Leadership | Therapist shares responsibility for group with members -- member skill levels and engagement are moderate -- therapist collaborates -- members acquire skills thru experience (ego-centric cooperative, cooperative) |
Advisory Leadership | Therapist functions as a resource to the members who set group agenda & structure (self-directed) -- members skills & engagement are high -- feedback occurs as a natural part of process (mature) |
Co-Leadership | Occurs when there is sharing of group leadership between 2 or more therapists |
Evaluation Group | Focus - enable client & therapist to assess client's skills, assets, and limitations regarding group interaction Suitable activities - tasks completed in 1 session that require interaction to complete |
Thematic Group | Focus - assist members to ACQUIRE SKILLS of a specific activity Suitable activities - simulated, clearly defined, structured activities that directly relate to skills being acquired (cooking group to learn to cook) |
Topical Group | Focus - discuss activities members participate in OUTSIDE of group to enable them to engage in activities in a more effective, need-satisfying manner Suitable activities - Discussion on member activities (fears/problems), may role play and use homework |
Task-Oriented Group | Focus - increase clients' AWARENESS of NEEDS, values, ideas, feelings improve functioning by focusing on problems that emerge Suitable activities - activities members pick will help members study, understand and practice behavior |
Developmental Group | Focus - teach & develop group interaction skills (parallel, project, ego-centric cooperative, cooperative, mature) Suitable activities -- depends on group level |
Parallel Group | Level 1, lowest level of developmental group -- enable members to perform individual tasks in the presence of others -- minimally interact verbally/non-verbally - develop basic level of awareness, trust, and comfort with others in group |
Project Group | Level 2, developmental group, enable members (1-2) to perform a shared, short-term activity with another member - develop interactions beyond those that the activity requires - enable members to give/seek assistance |
Egocentric-cooperative Group | Level 3, developmental group, enable members (5-10) to select/implement long-range group activity (2 or more sessions) which req. group interaction to complete -- members identify and meet needs of themselves and others (safety, esteem) |
Cooperative Group | Level 4, dev. group, members engage in group activity which facilitates free expression of ideas & feelings -- enables members to identify and meet socio-emotional needs (trust, love, belonging, cohesion) -- activity is secondary to need fulfillment |
Mature Group | Level 5, highest level, developmental group -- enable members to assume all functional socio-emotional & task roles within a group -- enable members to reinforce behaviors which result in need satisfaction & task completion |
Assumption of Developmental Groups | Learning principles are the basis -- feedback and reinforcement are utilized -- subskills fundamental to mature group functions must be acquired in a sequential manner |
Instrumental Group | Focus - help members FXN @ HIGHEST LEVEL possible Suitable activities - non-threatening, non-demanding -- maintain fxn. by providing sensory, cognitive, perceptual-motor, social input -- meet mental health needs by allowing member to have fun |
