What makes a
strong group foundation? Build the system, change behavior, develop
the mind? Different theories offer different understandings of how
a group develops and builds a strong group foundation. This session
presents a systems-centered demonstration group followed by a panel
discussion focusing on how the group was built from each of three
perspectives: systems-centered, cognitive behavioral and
interpersonal neurobiology.
Learning
Objectives:
The attendee will be able to:
1. Define group
development from three perspectives.
2. Distinguish how
building a group foundation is conceptualized from different models.
3. Differentiate
how group change is understood from a systems, cognitive behavioral
and interpersonal neurobiological perspective.
