I observed an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) group in Paterson, NJ, which is a self-help group that helps alcoholics in the recovery and treatment phase.

No age limit, specific race, or education is required to become a member. The program is free for any individual who wants to stop their alcohol assumptions. The group’s main…

Samuel Gladding (2008) in his book provides a comprehensive view of groups throughout the lifespan. The groups looked at are; groups for children, groups for adolescents, groups for adults and groups for older adults. Gladding considers group to be an important aspect throughout the lifespan. Group work with children is looked at by Gladding (2008) as “work with children under the age of 14 that requires a special knowledge of child development and group theory” (p. 245). Consequently, when…

As the semester draws to a close, I reluctantly write my final paper for my favorite class of my first ever semester here at George Mason University. For this paper I will discus how my peers and I worked together through out the Deliberative Dialogue project. I’m going to use the Tuckman Model of Group Development because I believe I saw my group transition through these stages more prominently. The Forming Stage, or Stage #1, began the day we got our group assignments and were allowed to get…

Bruce Tuckman was born in 1938, in 1965 he realised that when groups work together and communicate they go through certain stages as they become more effective and better t communicating as a group. Tuckman thought that the communication within a group gets affected by the different reactions and feelings everyone has. Tuckman thought that the people in the group go through four stages when communicating but then in 1977 another stage was discovered and then added. Stage 1, forming, this is…

I like how the group process has been broken down since…

Life can be compared to a roller coaster, for it's similarities and it's differences. The similarities are obvious; Life has it's ups and downs, the ride can be scary and thrilling at the same time. Once you're strapped in, you're in until the fat lady sings. The differences are that with a roller coaster you know around how long the ride will last. You know who is going to be sitting beside you the whole time and you know where the highs and lows are going to be. Life is different because you…
