Vignette 6

It is the final session of a group you are leading and members are giving each other feedback. One member, Jody, an Indonesian woman, says to another member “You know, there are negative feelings that I have been holding onto for weeks—and before it’s too late I think I am going to have to tell you what I’ve been feeling about you!”

1. What intervention would you make at this point? Would you encourage or discourage Jody from directing her negative feelings toward a particular member whom she has not to this point con­fronted? Why? What would you say to a group beforehand to lessen the danger of this type of belated confrontation? Vignette 7 At the last meeting of a group Ned, a Native-American man, seems convinced that he will not be able to main­tain the interpersonal skills he has acquired in his group. He says “It’s easy to get close to people in this group, but that just isn’t the way it is in the world. People are supposed to be caring and accepting in group, but in the world most people don’t really care. I can’t even get close to my son. He doesn’t understand this group talk!”
2. What would you want to say to Ned? Specifically, how would you prepare members for setbacks? How would you help Ned see what important lessons he learned in the group?

    a) a school counseling group for 6-11 year olds described on pages 335-340

    b) a group for elementary school children of divorce and changing families described on pages 340-344

    c) a group for children who have been abused on pages 345-351      

    d) Teens making a change: A group for preventing teen delinquency (pp. 355-339)

    e) A high school anger management group (pp. 360-362)

1. What aspects of the proposals described in this chapter would you most want to use in designing a group for each of the above? What did you learn in this chapter that would help you in designing a group for children or adolescents?
