Group Work: Dealing With Problems in a Group

In this 3-part course, Dr. Shannon Dermer and Dr. Patricia Robey discuss major processes and concepts in effectively and efficiently working with groups. Group work is a specialisation that requires specific training that focuses on group management and group interventions. Group leadership involves facilitating an experiential process while still being mindful of the risks involved in participation. In Part 2, Dr. Robey facilitates a mock supervision session with a supervisee who is managing a group and running into some issues. In Part 3, Drs. Dermer and Robey discuss the strategies and techniques Dr. Robey used in formulating a plan for her supervisee to address the issues in her group.
