Study Notes
Advanced Group
- Once a group achieves maturity and stability, it no longer exhibits easily described stages of development.
- The complex working-through process begins, and the major therapeutic factors operate more forcefully and effectively.
- Members interact more deeply addressing concerns that brought them to therapy.
- Self-disclosure, feedback, and reflection are hallmarks of an advanced group.
- Specific procedural guidelines are difficult to formulate for all situations.
- Therapists should encourage the development and operation of the therapeutic factors by applying basic principles of their role and technique.
Interpersonal Learning
- Helping clients understand and alter their modes of relating to others is central to the group therapy process.
- The vignette exemplifies the complexities and subtleties of this process.
- For example, one group member's struggle with chronic issues of depression, poor self-esteem, and relationship choices with partners was illustrated.
- Group members showed empathy and understanding relating to the issues of the struggling member.
- The vignette describes how group members offer empathy, support, and reassurance to struggling members.
Subgrouping
- Subgrouping is the splitting off of smaller units within a larger group, which can be helpful or harmful.
- Subgrouping in therapy can be inevitable and disruptive. It is often concealed and blocks group functioning or transparent as a visible subgroup.
- External factors and internal dynamics can drive individuals to form subgroups.
- In-group and out-group factions may be more likely to emerge under an authoritarian or restrictive leadership style.
- A lack of group cohesion and complex group relationships may increase the likelihood of subgroup formation.
- Subgroup formation may sometimes be a sign of problems in group development.
Effects of Subgrouping
- Subgrouping can have a disruptive effect on group therapy.
- Complications can stem from inclusion or exclusion from a subgroup.
- Loyalty conflicts can arise when individual members place subgroup goals above the larger group goals.
- This can lead to confidentiality issues and/or mistrust within the group.
- Therapists should be mindful that sometimes clients benefit from maintaining strong individual relationships in the group.
Group Therapy Considerations
- Self-disclosure is an important aspect of group therapy.
- It allows clients to disclose very personal issues and reveal how they feel amongst others.
- High disclosure may pose some risk to the individual and require cautious pacing.
- Too little or too much self-disclosure is an issue that may affect group processes and can impede therapy.
- There is no easy answer for dealing with self-disclosure in group therapy.
Termination
- Group termination should be considered a critical yet often neglected part of the group therapy process.
- Important considerations for termination include members’ feelings, goals, and relationships.
- Therapists should carefully consider the time and ways to handle termination to avoid negative reactions.
