Aims and Objectives:

Opportunities for a mix of personal reflection, didactic teaching and group discussion.

Module 1: Group Imago

We will explore attendees preconceptions about Groups based on their own previous experience of a variety of group settings including their family of origin. This reflection will be used to understand the theory of group imago and how a changing imago will cause disturbance within the group process. This will also be linked to Tuckman’s stages of group development.

Module 2: Group Structure

Berne’s theory of Group Structure offers an important addition to the theory of group dynamics. It has been particularly useful in helping to understand the changed dynamic when working with groups in an online environment. Attendees will learn the relevance of the Internal and External Group boundaries. By combining this theory with the concept of Group Imago attendees will have a solid understanding of how and why participants will act out within a group environment.

Module 3: Managing Group Process

We will build on the theory from the first 2 modules to explore practical interventions to manage group process with particular focus on managing conflict in the group.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this training participants will have a solid working model of Group Process. In addition they will have a toolkit of practical interventions to manage difficult processes within a group setting. Practitioners will feel confident facilitating in a range of group settings.
