1. Conflict typically appears when a group is in transition. State several forms of conflict you can expect in the types of groups you will lead. Consider group members suffering with substance use disorders. What are your own reactions to conflict? How will this influence your ability to help members recognize and work through conflicts?
2. How could the use of role-plays among group members facilitate the goals of early and transition stage groups? What purpose could role-plays serve for individual members and for the group as a whole?
3. What are three symptoms that you might observe in a final group meeting that might indicate that the group had been successful in achieving its primary purpose and goals? What are three symptoms that might indicate that the group had not been successful?
4. What factors would cause you to initiate follow-up contacts with one or more group members after group termination? What would be the purpose of such contacts?
