During the group activity, my group and I played with marshmallows and spaghetti sticks. With the marshmallows and spaghetti sticks we had to build some type of structure and as a team we decided to build a tower. The hardest challenge, we faced during our activity was not being able to sit close enough to each other’s. Another challenged we faced was trying to have our tower stay standing in order for it not to collapse. The easiest part for us was determining what we were going to build. We

Introduction The effectiveness of a group is dependent on various contextual and individual factors including but not limited to the setting, its members and leadership style. As this paper will demonstrate, the reason this particular group was so effective in its purpose was because both the participants and the environment were not only complimentary, but also heartening to the therapeutic alliance. The members of this psychoeducational group were selected on their common interest of becoming

As a whole, I believe the group worked well together by communicating and providing feedback throughout the whole process. Each group member did their share of their work and contributed as a whole to any discussion or questions we had as a group. In the process of brainstorming, Christopher discussed the topic about nuclear weapons and how it’s a big issue in today’s world not just in America but globally across the world. We agreed on the topic since all of us had an idea about the issue with

My group as a whole worked very well, for the most part. While our group had five members, often times it was as if there were only four of us. By this I mean that Madason, Megan, Becca, and I. We were generally always present during class, which allowed for us to effectively work together and communicate.

There were a lot of entities that went into developing our grassroots organization, I learned that to start an organization it takes a lot of

Starting the group work, I was nervous, as this was our first group project which contributed heavily to our overall grade. My main concern was that it would be hard to gather the five of us together to get the work done; I was also concerned that 5 people trying to get across different ideas may lead to arguments, or people feeling pushed out. However, looking back these concerns were not a big deal, we worked very well together as group and I feel everyone had significant input of ideas for creating

I thought the way the assignments for the topics was made was fair and equitable and helped to create a diverse group with no bias towards the topics. The group met during our assigned time period and I offered to serve as facilitator to get the discussion going. Our discussion regarding the topic and the assigning of each individual discussion question evolved in what I consider

An objection to group treatment is that it could inspire members’ conformity and dependency. Influenced by the pressure from the rest of the group one of the teens could change a healthy behavior or manful opinions due to real or imagined pressure from members, which becomes conformity. On the other hand, groups can foster dependent personality among members. The dependent personality is compliant, passive, suggestible, sensitive to what others want, yielding to other's opinions, needy to have others

The type of group I feel would be the most challenging to lead would be, counseling and therapy groups, which focuses on teenage sexual perversion in males. Since the fact that many of the sexual offenders are court mandated may not be forth coming in sharing their feelings, and experiences. In a group setting a client may feel vulnerable in discussing what they had done, court involvement, and their charges. In a group setting dealing with teenage sexual pervasion some client’s may feel that they
