John has been told that his role as leader is to inform the group members of strategies and skills to manage their lives.
At the beginning of the group this week there is a sense of uneasiness. The group members seem unsettled and eventually one of them states “We are not happy being lectured to each week”. This surprises

    In this stage people come together and expectations and the purpose of the group is clouded in uncertainty. No one is really considered the leader of the group at this point. Behavior is greatly observed between team members to determine what is acceptable. This stage will be relatively short because soon the group will begin to function and devise ideas and suggestion for attacking the problem or task.…

    The Forgotten Team Member

    In order to improve group performance, each member has to feel like they are needed and their input is important for the group’s success. Christine knows that Mike can contribute to the group, yet he fails to understand how individual membership in groups work. Christine ends up relaying information from Mike to the group, but fails to follow up with Mike after the group meetings. Christine really needed to focus on making him feel part of the group. This would encourage Mike to try harder to work out his schedule and be present at the meetings.…

    In this case the most of the team appears to be in the “Norming” stage of development. The text (Organizational Behavior 11th ed. Pp167) describes this stage as the “point at which the members really start to come together as a coordinated unit”. Assignments and roles within the group have been defined, and most of the members have made progress on their given assignments. However the major issues in the group’s development that needed to be addressed in the “Storming” stage went unaddressed. During this stage the team may be separated by the forming of cliques, high emotions, and competition for status position within the group. In this case a clique, or at least a perception by Mike of a clique, has formed. This has left Mike feeling excluded and unimportant to the group. If Christine had a better understanding of group development she would have known that during this stage emotions run high, and group members can quickly loose desire to work with the group if it is not properly managed.…

    Group Therapy Case Study

    • 1131 Words

    The leader creates the group usually through assessment and selection and fosters a stable environment. In the case of this group the facilitator was not involved in selecting the group members which can impact group cohesion. In session the facilitator did not give any direction other than to say “speak to what is arising”. This criterion for an effective group is through the facilitator encouraging the group to attend to the here and now. In this framework participants can develop feelings towards others in the group thus, how people feel becomes the group rhetoric. Attending to the here and now facilitates interpersonal learning. However, for this to occur the group must understand the how facilitators and members interact and relate to each other. The here and now concept examines behaviours that have just occurred and are occurring in a feedback loop. For example, the therapist may ask what is arising for you and then ask what was it like as you spoke about what was arising for you (Yalom, Leszcz…

    Furthermore, every member was engaged and present during all the meetings, which I really appreciated. Everyone was respectful, but sometimes I felt like people held back because they wanted to be respectful. Also I think they held back to avoid conflict. I know I held back because I was afraid of their reactions. The T-group after the presidential election nobody mentioned anything about it. The following T-group our facilitator…
