About the Event
Our Spring Workshop this year will be VIRTUAL. We are excited to have Deborah Sharp, LCSW-S, CGP, AGPA-F present on the stages of group development!
About the Workshop:
The Stages of Group Development have important implications for the experience of members
and also the role of the group leader. This workshop will look at several models of group
development and explore the ways that marginalization can impact group member’s behavior
and participation within those models. Leaders can be at risk of pathologizing normal responses
to cultural and historic marginalization. Description of leader’s role at various stages is offered
and discussion of impact of leader’s identity on group dynamics.
Upon completion of the workshop, attendees will be able to:
1) Identify the stages of group development according to the Boston Model
2) Describe the population that the Boston Model was developed and normed upon
3) Identify the stages of group development according to Schiller
4) Describe the population and process that Schiller’s model was developed and normed upon,
originally and in later applications
5) Identify the potential differences in group development for a Women’s Group vs Mixed
Gender Groups or Men’s Groups
6) Describe the impact that identity of group members may have on their participation in group
This workshop is for therapists of all licensures and graduate students in therapeutic
disciplines that either are running groups or would like to learn more about running groups. All
experience levels welcome.
