Answer the assigned questions on "Groups in Action Workbook – Evolution of a Group (Segments 1-3)."
You will be graded on the overall quality of your responses, which may range from a few sentences to a short paragraph, depending on the nature of the question.Early Developments and Interactions From the outset, we ask members to briefly report some things they have been thinking about since the pre-group meeting and what they are aware of at this moment as they are convening for this weekend group. James says he often feels like an outsider in his life. As we listen to James, our interest is in finding out how James perceives himself in this group. We ask him, "Do you feel like an outsider in here?" We hope he will verbalize what it is like to be an outsider both in and out of group. Jacqueline reports that she feels stupid and thinks that she rambles and makes no sense. It is important to find out what feeling stupid and being inarticulate mean to her. We do not assume that we know what she means by rambling. Our interest is in finding out if and how this is problematic for her. We might make the assumption that she has a critical judge within her; we do not pursue this at this point. Instead, we ask her to mention a few ways that feeling stupid gets in the way of what she wants. Andrew acknowledges that, like James, he too feels like an outsider. When Marianne inquires whether he feels like an outsider with everyone in this group and whether there are some with whom he can make a connection, he tells us that he finds it is easier to trust the men in the group. The inquiry is aimed at getting Andrew to note that he does not feel equally distant from everyone.
