Group Dynamics and Mental Health Counseling)

Here are three open ended questions. Please complete the questions:

1. What kind of group member would you find most challenging? Could this lead to counter transference on your part? How would you work with a client that had negative
feelings towards you?

2. The struggle for a sense of significance and purpose in life, a distinctively human characteristic, is a dominant force in the existential approach. How does
striving for meaning in life pertain to you personally?

3. Unless a group is cohesive, it is unlikely that members will risk role-playing significant life problems. What can you do to facilitate a sense of trust, safety,
and willingness to take risks in group?
