In my group I will have Pat Solitano Jr., Tiffany Maxwell, Pat Solitano, Sr., Ronnie and Dolores Solitano. I believe the main presenting problem for this group would be stress. Stress has put some of these individuals into difficult situations causing them to act out and say hurtful words. In this case Pat Jr. will throw fits when he hears his wedding song and gets very upset or stressed whenever anything about his ex-wife Nikki is mentioned.

Or depending on what the topic I could choose that quite person because I know that they have knowledge in the area and would be a great help (Toseland, R.W., & Rivas, R.F. 2012, p. 112). Some group members may struggle with assertiveness and adequate displays. They may struggle with this because of their past. Or they could feel that the family may not be accepting or understand as to what that individual has to say. Another example would be if an ex or a deceased husband was mentioned emotions could be flying through the roof and that can make some people
