As you review the contributions of your colleagues representing members of Mayor Keller’s task force in Module 2 Discussion 1, reflect on their perspectives and relevant data.

Taking in varying perspectives contributes to a fuller understanding of the issues facing Grand City and helps to address them more effectively. How might you build a collaborative team to promote creativity and productivity in the changes you are suggesting for your specialization and Grand City?
For this Discussion, you will develop a hypothetical, cross-specialization team to support you in initiating the changes you outlined in your action plan for this module’s Discussion 1.

What do you see as the benefits and challenges of group therapy.

Group therapy can alleviate feelings of isolation and foster a supportive and collaborative environment for sharing difficult feelings in order to facilitate healing. For many people, being part of a group that has a shared understanding of a struggle provides a unique opportunity to gain understanding of their own experiences. As you examine one of the group therapy demonstrations from this week’s Learning Resources, consider the role and efficacy of the leader and the reasons that specific therapeutic techniques were selected. Select one of the group therapy video demonstrations from this week’s required media, identify the video you selected and address the following: What group therapy techniques were demonstrated. How well do you believe these techniques were demonstrated. What evidence from the literature supports the techniques demonstrated. What did you notice that the therapist did well.  Explain something that you would have handled differently. What insight did you gain from watching the therapist handle the group therapy. Now imagine you are leading your own group session. How would you go about handling a difficult situation with a disruptive group member. How would you elicit participation in your group. What would you anticipate finding in the different phases of group therapy. What do you see as the benefits and challenges of group therapy.
