The goal of the study was to investigate the role of pre-deliberation planning on the enactment of normative and informational influence attempts during group decision-making. The goals-plans-action model (Dillard, 1990) was used to frame the study. The participants (N=112) performed a judgmental group decision-making task. The results of the study support the GPA in several ways. Pre-deliberation plans were enacted in discussion. In support of the extant group literature, perceptions of the task type influenced the proportion of pre-deliberation informational plans. Post-discussion attitudes toward the group’s decision were related to goals and to the proportion of normative plans.

STEPPS (Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving) is a manualised group programme aimed at supporting adults who experience difficulties with emotional regulation and who may meet the diagnostic criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (called Emotional Intensity Disorder within the course). It has been adapted for use in primary care and young people’s services, but its provision is relatively new in the UK and less widespread than that of DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) groups. Alongside a mental health nurse colleague, we facilitated a twenty week closed group based on the STEPPS programme, for 7 women, all of whom were on a Community Recovery Team caseload within secondary mental health services. We made significant practice changes to the model however, arising from our own ideological positions in relation to BPD as a diagnosis and to some of the course material, practical constraints and our experiences with the group week by week and their specific needs. Here we provide an account of our experiences and those of group members, with a view to supporting the provision of similar groups within mental health teams, particularly women’s groups.

This article is based on a recent re-visiting of published data related to the ‘sharing’ processes between members of two strikingly different types of self-help/mutual aid groups (SHMAGs) run by and for peers who share the same situation. Data from taped meetings and observations with a stress-coping Carers’ groups is compared with observational data from an identity changing Alcoholics Anonymous group and discussed in relation to Bohm’s (1987, 1996/2013) concept of dialogue as an alternative communication process that facilitates inquiry and the accumulation of knowledge. Groups were at extreme opposites in terms of their expected goals, strategies of help, and organisational characteristics yet unexpected similarities were found in relation to the authority of sharing lived experience which was in both cases respectful, supportive and non-judgemental. Group members did not openly disagree with each other but expressed a difference in opinion by the juxtaposing of a personal story which suggested an alternative way of doing or viewing things. The paper contributes to our knowledge of how sharing lived experience can be a key similarity between strikingly different SHMAGs. The paper also contributes to our understanding of the usefulness of dialogue as an explanatory framework for viewing SHMAGs as collective learning enterprises.Keywords (up to 6): self-help/mutual aid groups, lived experience, dialogue, collective learning, sharing stories

This article shares the clinical application of bibliotherapy and cinematherapy as groupwork tools to build social support and to foster resilience among group members of LGBTQIA+ support groups for individuals coming out later in life. Coming out groups for LGBTQIA+ individuals, as well as specific tools and exercises to use within these groups remain under-researched. The importance of fostering resilience through groupwork for those leaving a heterocentric lifestyle is discussed, and suggested books, movies and discussion questions for groupwork are provided. Contra-indications for these exercises are also discussed

This paper explores the formation of a transitory community in the UNRRA Displaced Persons Center in Deggendorf, Germany, where Jewish Holocaust survivors used social group work to preserve their past, to restore humane values, and to prepare for new lives. Social activism through task groups and activity groups affirmed individual and community self-determination while promoting recovery from trauma. The experience of the She’erith Hapleitah or “surviving remnant,” as they called themselves, though historically specific, has implications for group work with migrants today.

Students joined online task groups to complete one assignment in a social work diversity class that aims at developing critical-thinking and group work as transferable skills. The researcher used a phenomenological perspective to analyze phenomena that occurred during the group development process. Fifty-six undergraduate students provided data on their groups regarding task-completion, interactions, and decision-making processes, as well as other factors that influenced the outcome of the group process. The analysis revealed that students learned and put into practice critical thinking and group work skills used as they dealt with group phenomena such as group composition, setting up a contract and effective communication channels, and conflict management. The significance of this teaching case resides in its potential to enhance the effectiveness of online teaching through task groups. Social work instructors, field liaisons, and supervisors who use this teaching method may deliver effective and efficient signature pedagogy to a high number of supervisees. Limitations reside in the qualitative nature of the collected data, as well as in the small sample size, which precludes the generalizability of the findings.
