There are six scenarios regarding \u201cproblem\u201d group members.Choose any three of the following six scenarios and respond. Make sure you clearly list the #’d scenario.1) Confronting Conflicts – Assume that there is a good deal of conflict in a group you are leading. When you point this discord out to members and encourage them to deal with it, most of them tell you that they do not see any point in talking about the conflicts because “things won’t change.” What might be your response? How would you deal with a group that seemed to want to avoid facing and working with conflicts?2) Challenging the Leader – In a group you are co-leading, several members challenge your competence. In essence, they give you the message that you are inept and that they favor the other leader. How do you imagine you would feel in such a situation? What do you think you would do or say?3) Intervening with a Silent Member – Betty is a group member who rarely speaks, even if encouraged to do so. What are your reactions to the following leader interventions?Ignore her.Ask others in the group how they react to her silence.Remind her of her contract detailing her responsibility to participate.Ask her what is keeping her from contributing.Frequently attempt to draw her out.What interventions would you be likely to make?4) Redirecting a Questioner – Larry has a style of asking many questions of fellow group members. You notice that his questioning has the effect of distracting members and interfering with their expression of feelings. What are some things you might say to him?5) Identifying Countertransference – From what you know of yourself, in what areas are you most likely to experience countertransference? If you found your objectivity seriously hampered in a group because of your own personal issues, what might you do?6) Addressing Hostility of Group Members – Imagine that you have been meeting with a group of middle school children whose parents are incarcerated. The members have begun to develop strong connections to you and to one another. Several of the members have opened up about some painful memories they have endured. One member of the group begins to lash out and “pick fights” with other members. He also uses racial slurs and makes homophobic comments when certain members speak up. Another member remarks, “This is stupid, I’m not coming to group anymore.”What are some of the dynamics you see occurring in the group?What motivations might be behind these problems behaviors?How would you respond to the racial slurs and homophobic comments made by one member, and what strategies would you use with the member who doesn’t want to return? How would you go about processing all of this within the group?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
