Study Notes

The Remedial Approach

  • The Remedial Approach is suitable for disadvantaged groups, such as out-of-school youth, street children, drug abusers, and legal offenders, who may be heading towards deviant careers without timely intervention.
  • The group serves as a means of treatment, where peer interactions and other influences are used to affect members.
  • The group also provides opportunities for direct worker-client interactions, contributing to change.

Means of Influence

  • Direct means of influence: actions that treat the client, such as worker's use of interventions during face-to-face contacts.
  • Indirect means of influence: influencing the conditions of the group to affect members.
  • Extra group means of influence.

Forms of Direct Means of Influence

  • Worker as central person: objects of identification and drives.
  • Worker as symbol and spokesperson: represents legitimate values of society.
  • Worker as motivator and stimulator: defines individual goals and tasks.
  • Worker as executive: controller of member role.

Learning Outcomes

  • Assess developmental needs and stages of group members.
  • Tailor group interventions to promote healthy growth and development.
  • Assess effectiveness of developmental interventions.
  • Conduct assessments and diagnostic evaluations.
  • Identify conflicts and challenges within a group.
  • Respond swiftly and effectively to crisis situations.

The Developmental Approach

  • People are seen as being on a scale ranging from socially functional (adequate), to dysfunctional (inadequate), to eufunctional (optimum).
  • The approach focuses on collective self-help and self-realization.
  • Techniques used: reassurance and encouragement, direct influence procedures, and reflective discussion techniques.

Crisis Intervention

  • Targets individuals in crisis, those in collective crisis, and those associated with persons in crisis.
  • Advantages over individual crisis interventions: ventilation of feelings, group support, mobilization of personal strengths, and mutual assistance in considering alternative ways of coping.

The Four-Step Approach

  • Step 1: search for the precipitating event of the presenting problem and its meaning to the client.
  • Step 2: search for the coping means utilized by the client.
  • Step 3: search for alternative ways of coping that might better fit the current situation.
