Question 1

Which of the following would NOT be an appropriate therapy group?​
A) ​Teenagers being treated for self injury in an institutional setting
B) ​Women with eating disorders
C) ​Victims of sex abuse
D) ​Parents wanting to improve parenting skills

Accepted Answer

The other options (A, B, C) are specific groups that share a common issue or experience, making them suitable for targeted therapy groups. Option D, parents wanting to improve parenting skills, does not necessarily require therapy but rather education or training, making it less appropriate as a therapy group compared to the others.

Question 2

Understanding group dynamics,group process,group leadership skills,and group development,addresses which of the following ethical responsibilities?​
A) ​Knowledge
B) ​Dual relationships
C) ​Leader preparation and qualifications
D) ​Informing members about the group

Accepted Answer

Leader preparation and qualifications involve understanding group dynamics, processes, leadership skills, and development, ensuring ethical and effective group management.

Question 3

​Which groups are led by laypeople with similar concerns as group members?
A) ​Support groups
B) ​Therapy groups
C) ​Self help groups
D) ​Experiential groups

Accepted Answer

Self-help groups are led by laypeople with similar concerns as group members, who come together to share experiences and provide support to each other. Support groups may also provide similar benefits, but do not necessarily have a leader with similar concerns as group members. Therapy groups and experiential groups are typically led by trained professionals who have a specific therapeutic purpose or goal for the group.

Question 4

​Which of the following is FALSE about confidentiality?
A) ​The leader cannot guarantee complete confidentiality
B) ​Leaders may divulge information concerning child or adolescent members
C) ​Confidentiality may be breached if the leader learns that a member is planning to hurt someone
D) ​None of the available choices is false.

Accepted Answer

All the statements provided are true regarding confidentiality. Leaders indeed cannot guarantee complete confidentiality, especially in group settings; they may need to divulge information if it concerns the safety of a child or adolescent, and confidentiality can be breached if there is a threat of harm to someone.

Question 5

Which of the following is FALSE regarding ethical practices when conducting group work?​
A) ​All persons with an advanced degree are qualified to lead groups.
B) ​It is the responsibility of the leader to understand group dynamics and processes.
C) ​A leader must have a thorough knowledge of the subjects being discussed in group.
D) ​Group members should not attempt any technique unless they are trained to use it.

Accepted Answer

All persons with an advanced degree may not necessarily be qualified to lead groups. Qualification for group leadership also depends on skills, experience, and training specific to group dynamics and processes. Simply having an advanced degree does not automatically make one a competent group leader.

Question 6

According to the authors,which of the following is the most important point to remember with regard to legal issues?​
A) ​Exercises should be used ethically
B) ​A leader must know the laws in his/her state regarding clients rights
C) ​The members must be protected harm at all costs
D) ​A group leader must demonstrate care for his/her members

Accepted Answer

The authors state that it is important for a group leader to know the laws regarding clients' rights in their state. This is because legal issues can arise if a leader fails to protect clients' rights. While the other choices are also important considerations, they are not the most important point to remember with regard to legal issues.

Question 7

​Which of the following is NOT identified by the authors as a potential problem for a group?
A) ​Members skipping from topic to topic
B) ​Members trying to dominate the discussion
C) ​Members expressing their feelings
D) ​Members disliking one another

Accepted Answer

The authors do not identify expressing feelings as a potential problem for a group. In fact, it can sometimes be beneficial for members to express their feelings in order to build group cohesion and resolve conflicts. Skipping from topic to topic, trying to dominate the discussion, and disliking one another are all potential problems that the authors mention.

Question 8

​The authors believe that a major deficit in the preparation of group leaders in many settings is that
A) ​Leadership often consists of students only being members of a group
B) ​Leaders are taught that groups must last a specific length of time rather than be geared to the needs of the setting.
C) ​Leaders in training do not get enough practice using specific skills,such as cutting off,drawing out,holding the focus,and introducing and conducting exercises
D) ​All of the available choices

Accepted Answer

The authors state that there are multiple deficits in the preparation of group leaders, including the focus on group membership rather than leadership, emphasis on a specific length of time rather than individualized needs, and insufficient practice with specific skills. Therefore, choice D, "All of the available choices," is the best answer.

Question 9

Which of the following characterizes an advantage of group work? ​
A) ​Learning from others by listening to them
B) ​Receiving feedback from multiple sources
C) ​Feeling a sense of belonging with others who share similar concerns
D) ​All of the available choices

Accepted Answer

All of the available choices are advantages of group work. Learning from others by listening to them helps to gain new perspectives and insights. Receiving feedback from multiple sources helps to improve the quality of work and learn from mistakes. Feeling a sense of belonging with others who share similar concerns helps to build a supportive community and foster collaboration.

Question 10

Which of the following is FALSE regarding ethical practices when working with groups? The leader should​
A) ​practice within his/her own skill limits.
B) ​inform members that confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in group.
C) ​force members to continue with an exercise once it has been started.
D) ​avoid engaging in business relationships with group members.

Accepted Answer

The leader should not force members to continue with an exercise once it has been started. It is important to give group members the freedom to choose whether or not they want to participate in any activity or exercise. Forcing them may result in discomfort, disengagement, and a breach of trust.

Question 11

​Prospective group members should be informed
A) ​of the purpose of group
B) ​of the risks and benefits of group participation
C) ​of how group participation could impact their daily lives
D) ​all of the available choices

Accepted Answer

Prospective group members should be informed of all the available choices, including the purpose of the group, the risks and benefits of group participation, and how group participation could impact their daily lives. This ensures that they can make an informed decision about whether or not to join the group.
