They can also occur due to psychological factors, chemical imbalances, or social pressure. While these are only a few causes of eating disorder they share one common factor, they could cause real damage to a person’s health. There are treatments to help those with eating disorders though normally it is a problem that is dealt with throughout a person’s life. One treatment that has shown to be effective is Emotion-Focused Group Therapy. A study done by Maggie A. Brennan, Michelle E. Emmerling, and William J. Whelton called “Emotion-Focused Group Therapy: Addressing Self-Criticism In The Treatment Of Eating Disorders.” shows that it can be effective in helping overcome these terrible disorders “This group was well-received by participants and is a promising approach to therapy for eating dis-orders, one that incorporates many lessons from basic research on emotions in this population”. There are also other types of treatment for instance there is regular therapy and in-patient…
Size of the Group A group on aging should have anywhere from eight to twelve people (Corey, 2010). This is a manageable size for group leaders and is small enough to facilitate discussion between members. Additionally, it would be ideal if the group could meet once a week. The group itself, as stated earlier, would likely take place in a nursing or retirement home for the sake of convenience for residents without a car. The added benefit to this is that those who are confined to a retirement…
During observation there were several occasions where I saw acts similar to this. There are what it looks like to be developed clan-like groups among individuals in the kitchen. They sit together during lunch periods and talk openly with each other. One of the DS3 Cooks, Christine, tends to be at the head of one of these groups. Many people seem to not only report to her because she is a designated leader but as a social leader. They report to her for many things emotionally and gossip wise.…
Motivation This lab demonstrated the intricacies of group structure. In Counter Terrorism Task Force, the main objective was to use sets of clues to narrow down several suspects until there is one clear suspect. As a member of group 9, the outcome of the lab was a failed identification of the guilty suspect and a four way tie for second to longest time to respond out of teams that failed the lab. The results of the lab were not ideal because there wasn’t an ideal group structure, nor was…
the senses. For instance, a person who has low EI(Emotional Intelligence) will probably fall apart if she/he were trying to take a job that highly related to regulate emotions, evaluate and feelings, Throughout these assessments, the most valuable thing is the information about ourselves, depend on those data, we will have ability to find out our weakness and try to fixed it, furthermore, we can do these assessments again maybe 2-3 years later, because, as I had mentioned on the previous…
Working in groups can be difficult. This semester, in one of my classes we have a group project that we have to work on throughout the semester. In my group there are seven people. We all are responsible for turning in a final paper, presentation, and evaluating one another. As college students, it is difficult to get everyone to work on the project at once. My group members and I introduced each other when we were placed in the group. Afterwards, we have not meet once in person. We communicate…
Reflection Paper Group process and personal issues In group therapy, as stated by Irvin Yalom (2005), is the responsibility of the facilitator during the group processes, propitiate instillation of hope, as group members expect that their therapy experience will be effective for making necessary changes in their life. The facilitator also must aid each individual in understanding that their predicaments are universal, meaning there are many people facing issues similar to his or her troubles,…
I ended up having more B-mode statements than any other mode. The book says that, “[t]hose with more B-mode responses base their self-concept on group membership and institutional roles” (pg.136). It also says that if you give yourself more B-mode statements, then it is possible that C-mode is dominant while in the classroom. “C-mode responses see themselves as more independent and define themselves according to their individual actions and emotions rather than connections to others” (pg.136).…
spontaneity versus control, acceptance versus rejection, and cohesion versus fragmentation” as the main themes of the working stage of a group(p. 239). I think the video exemplified many of the aforementioned issues, however, the group remained perplexed around the issue of Jean’s resistance. Yalom and Leszcz (2005) write: “Certain members, because of their character structure, will invariably be involved in conflict and will engender conflict in any group” (p. 367). Jean disclosed that she…
her effort has been focused on how the office functions as a group or “team.” Two influential factors on how our group functions is the fact that the entire team is female in gender and group decision making. There is a particular instance where the team was gathered and was expected to participate in a meeting about streamlining processes in consultative phone calls. This meeting was held over 2 days, 4 hours each day, and was led by a contracted meeting leader. Good introductory paragraph…
