A

Directive Leadership

79
Q

Leadership style occurs when the therapist shares responsibility for the group with the members.

This is needed when the members’ skill levels and engagement are moderate (i.e. egocentric-cooperative, cooperative). Leaders collaborate with group members to select the activities to be used in a group. Members and leaders share instruction and feedback is provided by the members with the leader’s facilitation. The leader’s goal is for members to acquire skills through experience.

A

Facilitative Leadership

80
Q

Leadership style takes place when the therapist functions as a resource to the members who set the agenda and structure the group’s functioning.

This is needed when the members’ skills and engagement are high (i.e. cooperative and mature groups). Members select and complete the group’s activity with the leader’s advice if needed. Feedback occurs as a natural part of the group’s self-directed process. The leader’s goal is to have members under and self-direct the process.

A

Co-leadership

82
Q

An activity group with the purpose/focus to enable the client and therapist to assess the client’s skills, assets, and limitations regarding group interaction.

One must observe the client in a setting where the skills can be demonstrated. Appropriate for all individuals who will be involved in groups or who lack group interaction skills.

Therapist: selects and orients client, selects activities that require collaboration and interaction, does not participate or intervene in group, asks for client’s input, and validates assessment and establishes treatment goals.

Activities: are tasks that can be completed in one session and require interaction to complete.

A

Evaluation Group

83
Q

An activity group with the purpose/focus to assist members in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and/or attitudes needed to perform a specific activity.

Learning is facilitated by practicing and experiencing needed behaviors, with reinforcement of appropriate behaviors given.

Members’ needs, concerns, and goals must match the objectives of the group. Members must have a minimal group interaction skill level equal to a parallel group skill level.

Therapist: selects, structures, and grades activities to teach skills. Attention is not paid to conflicts unless they interfere with the activity.

Activities: are simulated, clearly defined, and structured to enable members to practice and learn needed skills, attitudes, and knowledge within the group.

A

Thematic Group

84
Q

An activity group with the purpose/focus to discuss specific activities that members are engaged in outside of group to enable them to engage in the activities in a more effective, need-satisfying manner.

Clients: share similar current or anticipatory problems in functioning and who are at an egocentric-cooperative skill level.

Therapist: facilitates group discussion while maintaining focus on the activity, helps members problem-solve, and shares the lead with the members while acting as a role model.

Activities: verbal discussions about the activity that may include fears, problems, solutions, or coping mechanisms.

A

Topical Group

85
Q

An activity group with the purpose/focus to increase client’s awareness of their needs, values, ideas, feelings, and behaviors as they engage in a group task and to improve intra/interpsychic functioning by focusing on problems that emerge in the process of choosing, planning, and implementing a group activity.

Clients: those whose primary dysfunction is in the cognitive and socioemotional areas due to psychological or physical trauma.

Therapists: initially very active and assists with activity selection, facilitates discussion, gives feedback, but fades as the group develops giving members more of a role.

Activities: chosen by members and act as a means to an end, not the end itself.

A

Task-oriented group

86
Q

A continuum of activity groups consisting of parallel, project, egocentric-cooperative, cooperative, and mature groups. The purpose/focus is to teach and develop members’ group interaction skills.

Learning principles are the basis of these groups and goals are to increase appropriate behavior in a group setting. The therapist places clients in the appropriate group and orients them to the group’s goals, structure, and norms

A

Developmental Group

87
Q

Type of a DEVELOPMENTAL activity group that focuses to enable members to perform individual tasks in the presence of others, to minimally interact verbally and nonverbally with others even though task does not require interaction for successful completion, and to develop a basic level of awareness, trust, and comfort with others in the group.

Therapist: provides positive regard to develop trust, reinforces positive behavior, provides structure, and facilitates interaction.

Activities: those that can be performed independently but in the presence of others.

A

Parallel
