RATE A+
Identify and discuss two advantages of counseling groups.
Correct Answer -The group re-creates the participants' everyday
world, especially if the membership
is diverse with respect to age, interests, background,
socioeconomic status, and type
of problem. As a microcosm of society, the group provides a
sample of reality.
-The diversity that characterizes most groups also results in
unusually rich feedback
for and from the participants, who can see themselves through
the eyes of a wide
range of people.
-The group offers understanding and support, which foster the
members' willingness
to explore problems they have brought with them to the group.
- The participants achieve a sense of belonging, and through the
cohesion that
develops, group members learn ways of being intimate, of caring,
and of challenging.
-In this supportive group atmosphere, members can experiment
with new behaviors.
Your text discusses groups for different age groups of life,
including childhood, adolescence, college students, and
older adults. Select one of these groups and discuss the topics
that would typically be addressed. Correct Answer Childhood: In
schools, group counseling is often suggested for children who
display
behaviors or attributes such as excessive fighting, inability to get
along with peers, violent
,outbursts, poor social skills, or lack of supervision at home.
Adolescence: Group counseling is especially suited for
adolescents because it gives them a
place to express conflicting feelings, to explore self-doubts, and to
come to the realization
that they share these concerns with their peers. Adolescents can
openly question their values
and modify those that need to be changed.
College students: Many college counseling centers offer groups
designed for relatively
healthy students who are experiencing personal and interpersonal
relationship problems. The
main purpose of these groups is to provide participants with an
opportunity for growth and a situation in which they can deal with
career decisions, intimate relationships, identity
problems, educational plans, and feelings of isolation on an
impersonal campus.
Older adults: Counseling groups can be valuable for older adults
in many of the same ways
they are of value to adolescents. As people grow older, they often
experience isolation. Like
adolescents, older people often feel unproductive, unneeded, and
unwanted. Many older
people accept myths about aging that become self-fulfilling
prophecies. Counseling groups
can do a lot to help older people challenge these myths and deal
with the developmental tasks
that they face while retaining their integrity and self-respect. The
group format can assist
people in breaking out of their isolation and offer older people the
encouragement necessary
to find meaning in their life so that they can live fully and not
merely exist.
,Describe psychoeducational groups and provide two examples.
Correct Answer psychoeducational groups feature the
presentation
and discussion of factual information and skill building through the
use of planned skill-
building exercises. Psychoeducational groups serve a number of
purposes: imparting
information, sharing common experiences, teaching people how
to solve problems, teaching
social skills, offering support, and helping people learn how to
create their own support
systems outside of the group setting. These groups can be
thought of as educational and
therapeutic groups in that they are structured along the lines of
specific content themes.
Examples may include:
• A group for elementary school children of divorce
• An anger management group for children
• A substance abuse group
• A women's group and a men's group
• A domestic violence group
• A women's support group for survivors of incest
• A successful aging group
• A bereavement group for older adults
Your text states that multiculturalism is inherent in the group
process. What is meant by this and how does
multiculturalism enrich group therapy? Correct Answer
multiculturalism encompasses more than just race
and ethnicity and includes age, sex, gender identity, sexual
orientation, national or regional
origin, religion, disability status, and a vast number of constructs.
The students should note
, that we all have a multicultural identity. A multicultural group
provides a richer array of
experiences and perspectives, which, in turn, provides a richer
group experience.
