Study Notes
Types of Developmental Groups
- Five distinct types of developmental groups: Parallel, Project, Egocentric-Cooperative, Cooperative, and Mature.
Parallel
- First type of developmental group.
- Participants work independently on individual tasks while sharing space.
Parallel Group: OT Role
- Occupational therapist (OT) establishes clear boundaries and explains the group's purpose.
- Provides feedback and reinforces appropriate behavior to participants.
Project
- Second type of developmental group.
- A short-term activity lasting about half an hour where participants interact to accomplish a common goal.
- Emphasizes trial and error.
Project Group: OT Role
- OT organizes and presents the task, providing support and guidance throughout the activity.
Egocentric-Cooperative
- Third type of developmental group.
- Participants engage in a longer-term activity (about one hour) to achieve common tasks.
- Members can identify group norms and goals while applying their knowledge and skills.
Egocentric-Cooperative Group: OT Role
- The leader adopts a democratic approach, offering suggestions but allowing the group to develop their plans and complete tasks autonomously.
- Facilitates task completion while providing necessary support.
Egocentric-Cooperative Group: Examples
- Skills practiced within this group include assertiveness, communication, and stress management.
Cooperative
- Fourth type of developmental group.
- Focuses on members expressing and sharing their feelings, thoughts, and needs.
- Aims for open communication rather than producing a specific end product.
Cooperative Group: OT Role
- OT acts as an advisor, initiating the task experience and participating in discussions.
Cooperative Group: Examples
- Activities that stimulate discussion of thoughts and feelings include creative outlets like art, poetry, and music.
Mature
- Fifth type of developmental group.
- Each member selects, plans, and executes a group task that is time-limited and aims for a specific outcome.
- Members prioritize group needs over their individual needs and actively identify their social-emotional roles during the task.
Mature Group: OT Role
- OT functions as a collaborative group member, contributing to the process.
Mature Group: Examples
- Examples include community transition groups and other group formations within the community.
