Discussion Post: Video Response Group Video

You should watch the group work video and the video lecture for this class.

Now that you have watched Julius in his role as the group leader and evaluated his skills for beginning the middle phase of group work, you will continue your skill development for the working phase in groups. You will continue your work by looking at activities in groups as well as activity groups. Additionally, you'll consider how the worker manages the emerging informal roles of the group members. Julius will be the illustration of your learning.

In your post this week, share with your peers what you thought while watching this case study video.

A. While Julius' group is a therapy group, not an "activity group" per se, in what ways does it serve the function(s) of activity groups listed in the slide?

B. Identify the different informal roles that group members serve.

C. Explain (with illustration) why you are able to assign an informal role to a group member.

D. Name the skills Julius uses to manage and work with the emerging informal member roles.
