Report
Review the "Stages of Group Counseling" video located in the Topic 4 Resources and identify potential forms of conflict you can expect at each of the various stages. What are your own reactions to conflict? How will this influence your ability to help members recognize and work through conflicts? Conflict does not have to necessarily be a bad thing and can occur at any stage of group development. In the forming stage, members may have issues with exploration. Members may feel unsure of where they fit in and stronger members of the group may try and place themselves in certain positions over others (Grande, 2015). This can be a normal part of the process of forming. In storming, group boundaries may get pushed and the leader may become challenged by other more dominant members of the group. The leader will find that they may need to explore the reasons that members feel the need to interject more powerfully than others, and also check the members that may be disruptive to the group and the group process. Norming may include subgrouping which means that some members may try and seek validation from other group members, excluding the remaining group members (Spivack, 2008). This can be difficult for the leader as they will need to reign that in so that it does not become disruptive to the other excluded group members. Performing may incur less conflict, but as members become more comfortable with each other, more risk may be taken in the form of confronting other group members (Grande, 2015). Adjourning can find some members sad that the group is ending and this can create conflict. They may have some mourning and grief involved and may not be emotionally prepared for the termination of the group (MindTools, n.d.). Grande, T. (2015). Stages of Group Counseling. YouTube. YouTube.
