Study Notes
Developmental Groups
- Parallel Group: Focuses on individual tasks while developing interaction among members. Members appreciate each other's presence, and OTs reinforce positive behaviors while maintaining group boundaries.
- Project Group: Designed for short-term collaboration on small projects, emphasizing cooperation and comfort among members, with OTs facilitating tasks and encouraging safe competition.
- Egocentric-Cooperative Group: Long-term collaboration where members provide input based on their skills for a common task. OTs act as facilitators, encouraging creativity and respect among members.
- Cooperative Group: Emphasizes sharing emotions and challenges without focusing on goals. OTs take on a more advisory role rather than a leadership one, allowing mutual experiences to cultivate support.
- Mature Group: Concentrates on task completion within a limited time frame, prioritizing group needs over individual desires. OTs participate as group members, allowing for independent functioning of the group.
Activity Groups
- Evaluation Group: Observational in nature, allowing OTs to assess patient behavior and interactions in specific settings without altering their behavior.
- Task-Oriented Group: Aims to develop new behaviors while completing specific tasks, enhancing self-awareness and interpersonal skills. OTs support and encourage behavioral changes during group interactions.
- Thematic Group: Focused on specific skills or attitudes necessary to complete an activity. OTs provide structured support and strategic skill teaching.
- Topical Group: Addresses real-life issues faced by members through anticipatory and concurrent formats, facilitating planning, education, and problem-solving.
- Instrumental Group: Maintains health and functionality of participants, with a focus on supporting and encouraging behavior change while providing a structured environment for recovery.
