\nhave been running a group for sexual assault survivors for the last nine weeks.
\nDespite your best efforts to provide a safe environment, validate the women\u2019s
\nexperiences, and create a sense of hope, the group members often ask, \u201cWill I
\never get over this?\u201d This is an important question, but one that is not easily
\nanswered. As the social worker, you discuss the impact of trauma and the
\nbenefits of using group and individual therapy to process what occurred in
\norder to reduce its impact on their daily lives. Yet, your response does not
\nalleviate the group\u2019s anxiety about the future. As a result, you invite a
\nprevious client who has completed group work and individual therapy to come and
\nspeak to the group. As she talks about her new feelings of empowerment and
\ngrowth since participating in group work, the rest of the group members begin
\nto smile and nod their heads. After the guest speaker has left, the members all
\ntalk about how amazing it was to hear this woman\u2019s story and to see someone
\nwith the same experience thrive and move past the assault. They all expressed a
\nsense of hope and relief. Group work offers many benefits that cannot be
\nachieved through individual therapy alone. The most obvious benefit is group
\nmember validation. The knowledge that you are not alone and are not the only
\nperson who has experienced that particular issue can foster a strong sense of
\nhope. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\nthrough her participation in group work as depicted in the video. <\/p>\n

\n
\nrecent meetings with your sexual assault survivor group, you have noticed some
\npotentially counter-productive behaviors from some of the members. One member
\nalways wants to sit next to you. When you speak, she nods her head and, at
\ntimes, she repeats your very words. Two members always sit together and have
\nside conversations. You have not said anything yet to them, but you feel it is
\ndistracting to the others. When you ask them to participate, they both provide
\nlittle input and often just shrug their shoulders. One member talks at length
\nduring every session, forcing you to interrupt her by asking others to
\ncontribute to the discussion. You need to set boundaries with this person or
\nshe will continue to dominate the entire session. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nmembers play based on their personality. While groups have many benefits for clients,
\nincluding validation, support, comfort, and education, they also can highlight
\nsome personalities and behaviors that might be challenging for you to manage as
\nthe group leader. How might you respond to these behaviors and roles? How might
\nyou redirect these behaviors and reposition the member roles for the benefit of
\nthe group?<\/p>\n

\nthe group member role that might be most challenging to you as a group leader
\nand why. Finally, think about skills you might use for overcoming the
\nchallenges that member role presents.<\/p>\n
