Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper demonstrates several important ideas in therapeutic group work. Seemingly homogeneous groups contain a wide range of etiologies, needs, and expectations among clients. Group facilitators benefit from the perspective that while differences abound, certain interventions help establish global themes which further the progress of the group while validating the specific context of individual client situations. Nine emotion-focused, process-oriented themes that arise frequently in domestic violence, addictions, and survivorship group work are presented; samples of therapist responses illustrate how a focus on these global themes can further group process through the promotion of emotional safety, collaboration, validation and client self-disclosure.
