Feminist Therapy
Introduction
Feminist therapy puts gender and power at the core of the therapeutic process. It is built on the premise that it is essential to consider the social and cultural context that contributes to a person’s problems in order to understand that person.

What is Groupthink?
Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that may cause a failure of a group’s performance. This is a trap that any previously successful group may get in.
The "groupthink" term was proposed by social psychologist Irving Janis (1972). It occurs when a group makes faulty decisions because group pressures lead to a deterioration of “mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgment” (p. 9). The alternatives are ignored and irrational actions dehumanize other groups. A group is especially vulnerable to groupthink when its members are similar in background, when the group is insulated from outside opinions, and when there are no clear rules for decision making.
Janis, Irving L. (1972). Victims of Groupthink. New York: Houghton Mifflin.
Janis, Irving L. (1982). Groupthink: Psychological Studies of Policy Decisions and Fiascoes. Second Edition. New York: Houghton Mifflin. Symptoms of Groupthink
There are eight symptoms of groupthink:
· Illusion of invulnerability –Creates excessive optimism that encourages taking extreme risks.
· Collective rationalization – Members discount warnings and do not reconsider their assumptions.
· Belief in inherent morality – Members believe in the rightness of their cause and therefore ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions.
· Stereotyped views of out-groups – Negative views of the “enemy” make effective responses to conflict seem unnecessary.
· Direct pressure on dissenters – Members are under pressure not to express arguments against any of the group’s views.
· Self-censorship – Doubts and deviations from the perceived group consensus are not expressed.
· Illusion of unanimity – The majority view and judgments are assumed to be unanimous.
· Self-appointed ‘mindguards’ – Members protect the group and the leader from information that is problematic or contradictory to the group’s cohesiveness, view, and/or decisions.
Remedies for Groupthink
Decision experts have determined that groupthink may be prevented by adopting some of the following measures:
1. The leader should assign the role of critical evaluator to each member
2. The leader should avoid stating preferences and expectations at the outset
3. Each member of the group should routinely discuss the group's deliberations with a trusted associate and report back to the group on the associate's reactions
4. One or more experts should be invited to each meeting on a staggered basis. The outside experts should be encouraged to challenge views of the members.
5. At least one articulate and knowledgeable member should be given the role of devi ...

2. So, suppose that while we are spending this time
together today, that we did something very useful and

thinking of and telling others that made this experience
worth your effort to come here?

Working on What Works
Question Utilization...
11. SFBT Questions that work well in group.
So, what needs to happen today so you know coming to
group has been useful?
What is it that you will take away from group today?
Who will notice when...
What is working for you today?
So, how was that a different experience for you?
12. SFBT Questions that work well
(continued).
How was it that you decided to make that happen?
How did you manage to get through that difficult time?
Where are you at on the scale? What is working for you to
be at the number you scaled yourself? What needs to be
different so that you can go up just one small notch, 10%?
And of course the miracle question...
13. Long-term use of the Miracle
Question:
So, on the eve on your birthday when you go to
sleep...and when you wake up on the day of your
birthday what is the first thing you would notice that
would let you know this miracle happened?
Religious Holidays
Thanksgiving
Anniversaries
My personal favorite: The in-session Miracle Question
14. In-session Miracle Question
So, suppose that while we are talking during this
session that something odd happens outside of our
room. But because we are having group, we don’t
know that something happened. Then, we finish our
session, you open the door and walk out, and you
notice that everything is different with the problems that
brought you here today...what is the first thing you will
notice as you go through the rest of your day that will let
you know that a miracle occurred while we were in
group?
15. Goal Setting: The Monday Group
The big 3 questions [post-miracle question].
1). What is better since we met last week?
2). So what do you want to see different, between
today and next week, so you know that coming here
has been useful?
3). What do you want to see continue for you this
week?
Rules...
16. Goal Sheet & Rules
Patients are invited {not required} to add their goals to
the community goal sheet for the new week.
The first rule is: The goal must be very small {one tiny
step}.
The second rule is: The goal must be specific. {only as
specific as the patient wants it to be}
The third rule is: list one or more resources that will help
you reach your goal this week. {always optional}
Example...
17. Goals for the Week Goals for the Week
First Name Weekly Goal Resources First Name Weekly Goal Resources
Discourse....
18. Therapist: So with all the difficulties you have
experienced in your life, how do you manage to
get up and come here to group everyday?
Client X: Its because I’m educated...it filters out
the evil.”
Therapist: Wow, so how is your education useful
for you so that you can continue your hard work in
group?
Pay attention to the language of the group for new ideas...
19. Solution-Focused Art Therapy/Letter Writing
In session task: Draw a picture or write about...
anything you can do
well.
someone special or
important to you.
a day when everything
was OK in your life.
Describe what was
different on that day.
your miracle picture.
anything you want.

22. Notice any blossoming changes that will
emerge:
Patients will learn SFBT
language and often
repeat it in very unique
ways.
Scaling will take on its
own meaning.
Utilizing relationship
questions in group
builds cohesiveness.
Utilizing consultants for the group...
24. The Schmo Family Comes

when examples of relational patterns are needed.
when things get boring.
to help build creativity and engages patients’ strengths.
the family can be integrated into solution focused
questions to include: scaling, miracle pictures,
exceptions, etc.
25. The one SFBT question session
Write down one question on the board and have the entire
group write down the answer {5 min} before anyone shares:
• Write down one stress management technique that
you’ve used in the past but are not currently using.
• Write down one one stress management technique
that you are currently using.
• Write down one stress management technique that
you have never used before and you are open to
experimenting with this idea.
• Create you own useful question...
26. The Support Seat Technique {formally known as the HOT Seat}
(a). Begin group by placing a chair, one that can rotate, in the
middle of the group circle. Next, ask if anyone would like to
volunteer and go into the Support Seat. Everyone in the group
is invited to ask the person in the Support Seat a question,
give a compliment, or make a supportive statement.
(b). When finished, the person in the Support Seat is
instructed to invite any group member to take their place in
the support seat to continue with the group process.
Note: before the group is familiar with this technique, it can be useful for
the therapist to go into the support seat first and invite the group to ask
you any questions they want to ask.
Special Note: This is not intended to be used for confrontation but rather
for support, encouragement, and especially compliments.
