09 Nov Proposing a Counseling or Psychotherapy Group
Assignment Instructions
Imagine you are interning in a community agency working with adults. A survey of clients revealed that there is a community need to address the following group topics:
Bereavement (grief and loss).
Anger Management.
Intimate partner violence.
Eating disorders.
Social Anxiety.
Your site supervisor allows you to select one topic to research focused on the diverse clients your agency serves. As a first step, you will analyze the current group literature to provide a rationale for offering either a counseling or psychotherapy group. Please note that a psychoeducational group does not meet the requirements for the assignments in this course.
Your supervisor is looking for you to carefully study what has already been written about similar groups before you develop any specific plans for the proposed group. You will continue to develop the proposal for the group in Unit 7 and complete it in Unit 9. Utilize the Unit 3 Assignment Paper Template for this assignment and review the scoring guide.
Locate recent peer-reviewed articles published from professional journals that present a range of group counseling approaches for your topic. Compare the sources based on the strength of the group leadership approach and specific counseling theories presented. Present a clear analysis of how specific ethical and diversity issues will be relevant to the proposed group citing the relevant ethical standards.
Here are some specific journals that you may find most helpful as you conduct your literature search:
The International Journal of Group Psychotherapy.
The Journal for Specialists in Group Work.
Journal of Counseling and Development.
