Discussion1: Confidentiality
One of the most important concepts in clinical practice and group work is confidentiality. All members of the group sign an informed consent form in order to address the rules and parameters of the group sessions. The rules regarding confidentiality are stated in one section of the form. Although every member must sign this agreement, ensuring that all information shared in the group remains confidential can be difficult. As the group leader, the clinical social worker is responsible for developing strategies so that all members feel safe to share.
For this Discussion, review the “Working With Groups: Latino Patients Living With HIV/AIDS” case study.

The support group discussed here was created to address the unique needs of a vulnerable population receiving services at an outpatient interdisciplinary comprehensive care center. The center’s mission was to provide medical and psychosocial services to adult patients living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH). Both patients and providers at the center expressed a need for a group to address the needs of the center’s Latino population. At the time the group was created, 36% of the center’s population identified as Latino, and 25% of this cohort identified Spanish as their primary language. The purpose of the group was twofold: 1) to reduce the social isolation felt by Latino patients at the center and 2) to create a culturally sensitive environment where Latino patients could explore common medical and psychosocial issues faced by PLWH within a cultural context.

Working With Groups: Latino Patients Living With
HIV/AIDS
The support group discussed here was created to address the unique needs of a vulnerable
population receiving services at an outpatient interdisciplinary comprehensive care center. The
center’s mission was to provide medical and psychosocial services to adult patients living with
HIV/AIDS (PLWH). Both patients and providers at the center expressed a need for a group to
address the needs of the center’s Latino population. At the time the group was created, 36% of the
center’s population identified as Latino, and 25% of this cohort identified Spanish as their primary
language. The purpose of the group was twofold: 1) to reduce the social isolation felt by Latino
patients at the center and 2) to create a culturally sensitive environment where Latino patients
could explore common medical and psychosocial issues faced by PLWH within a cultural context.
Planning for the group consisted of 1) defining a format for the group, 2) recruiting appropriate
members, and 3) building an appropriate group composition. When considering the format of the
group, I thought about structure, time, place, and language. The group was designated a closed
group in that new patients were not admitted once the initial membership was determined. The
group was held in the center’s conference room, which was furnished with comfortable seating
around a large conference table so that members were visible to each other during group sessions.
The group met once a week for 90-minute sessions during which 60 minutes were spent on open
discussion and the last 30 minutes were spent on having lunch. Given the importance of food in
the Latino culture, I thought members would appreciate the opportunity to share a meal with their
peers. I decided to designate the group as Spanish-speaking so that all sessions were held in
Spanish. This offered members not only a sense of comfort and an opportunity to explore issues
in their native tongue, but it also addressed the language barrier that often isolates Latino PLWH.
I used several strategies to recruit members. I hung flyers throughout the center, and I informed
my colleagues about the group during interdisciplinary staff meetings. Referrals ultimately came
from physicians, social workers, and even administrative staff who had developed
relationships with patients at the center. When considering group composition, I focused on
creating balance in group size and the characteristics of individual members. I worked to create a
group with enough members so that discussions would be fruitful and differing opinions could be
presented, but at the same time, individual members would have an opportunity to discuss their
unique feelings, thoughts, and opinions. When it came to member characteristics, I strove to create
a balance between homogeneity and heterogeneity across such domains as age, sex, sexual
orientation, socioecono ...

In Massachusetts, we have several groups for substance use both such as AA meetings and , NA meetings that are held in most area areasjust not a sufficient amount. Some. So me groups are also held at treatment centers by alumni which is a great thing because it will provide members with great responsibility skills. Some of the groups like psychoeducation and 12 steps meetings are mainly for those who are going through andchallenges and have a past with substance use. I plan to hold a group not only for those who have been through it but also withhave family members that are looking for resources and better understanding of the disease. The need for substance use group in the Boston, MassMassachusetts community is in high demand. Although Boston is a wide community where the rent can be high and have good paying jobs, many still struggle s with the everyday life stressors that can lead to excessive drinking. In my community I believe that the need for substance use group can benefit so many specifically those in the poverty area, because they are dealing with these issues every day. Also, due to therapy being frown upon in their environment and some lack the ability to seek professional help.

AA Meeting for Group Influence

AA Meeting for Group Influence
It has been said that unity is a strength, and a single word can work miracles. It has been the sole foundation of social groups that started being formed across the nation in 1997, with the aim creating a social cohesion and helping certain individuals in their hour of need. Some groups focus on health matters; others focus on addiction while other concentrates on integrating old war and US Iraq War soldiers into the peaceful life in the society after having been psychologically affected by war. The Alcoholics Anonymous (The AA Group) is one among the many social gatherings of today. I noticed such when I first visited last Saturday.
Physical Arrangement
AA meetings can occur anywhere, in an open or a closed setting. The meeting I attended was in a community social hall. Individuals were arranged in rows of three, each row containing three seats. At the front, there was a raised platform like a dais with multiple public relations instruments, some musical instruments tables, and chairs. Usually, the members sat on the chairs, new members mixing with old members (Sunstein & Hastie, 2015). The AA's committee members and other associates sat in front of the audience, with other representatives from other social organizations such as LifeRing Secular Recovery, Friends of Nature, Celebrate Recovery, and Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS) (Sunstein & Hastie, 2015). It was a traditional group setting. However, one thing was unique. The walls were decorated with charts, fact maps, Sobriety Slogans, and timetables detailing the group’s upcoming activities.
The group’s composition was also unique. I had read from articles that in a majority of AA meetings, racial diversity is usually low, with sexes ranging at a ratio of 65%-35% male to female (Tonigan, Connors& Miller, 2013). However, this time, it was unique. The group seemed heterogeneous regarding ethnicity while the male to female sex ratio was 55% to 45%. This implies a racial integration and the breaking of traditional norms. In the past, the issue of alcoholism was stereotyped to men, with ladies having a small percentage. However, with the current rate of modernization, alcoholism is becoming a related problem for both genders (Tonigan, Connors& Miller, 2013). Again, it has always been traditionally known that the aged, preferably 47 years and above are burdened by alcoholism. However, the group member’s age ranged from 18-43years.
Purpose, Mission, and Goals
The primary purpose of AA is to create a group of individuals who share hopes, strengths and experience to solve common problems and also help others recover from alcoholism. AAs mission statements vary with regions (Suns ...

a. Create a lesson about cultural diversity in the workforce.
b. Explain how you would motivate your audience.
c. Discuss potential barriers to learning.
Reply to my peers
Peer 1
Cultural diversity in the workforce involves multilingual colleagues, gender, religion, age, ethnicity, etc. but the lesson plan that I would like to write about is involving colleagues that are multilingual. In today’s society and in our country; speaking more than one language is a great privilege, benefit, and provides many opportunities. It is estimated that over 50 million people speak Spanish either as their primary language or secondary here in the United States of America. As a changing demographic and workforce; it’s of importance to be culturally aware and culturally competent as nurses in our skills, abilities, and experiences. To start our lesson, I’d like to gather employees together and encourage to speak about is common and unique in their culture and welcome different ideas and viewpoints. Next, id like everyone to share a story of either of a time of how they felt respected (of their culture) or the opposite; a time they can share with us of a misjudgment, disrespectful, or treated inferiorly. After these questions and stories are shared; I would like to encourage them to use this a learning experience of each other and how to be mindful and apply this out in the real world. Whether one needs to dissect and identify and prejudice or concerns them have about themselves or how we can all improve and be better individuals by being more aware and cognizant of our surrounding, diversity, and be culturally competent nurses. Common potentials of barriers to learning are getting out of your comfort zone and possibly a negative past experience (that can be hard to overcome). ‘Feedback must be specific, not general. [Adults] must also see a reward for learning … [They] must be interested in the subject [matter]. Interest is directly related to reward. Adults must see the benefit of learning in order to motivate themselves to learn’ (Galbraith 1990: 25). (Falasca, 2011). To overcome barriers; the one leading the group must first assess and communicate effectively what these potential barriers are for each individual. Expecting these potential barriers is important step to move through them and be successful in the goal of the diversity topic of discussion and learning. To assess be see if learning took place and how well this group learning discussion was and how effective it was is to evaluate and have return feedback; either verbally or written down privately.

Culture is observable from a multifaceted approach in the form beliefs, art, morals, law, and customs. In the Asian continent, the Muslim culture has not been given as much focus as Muslims in the Middle East. The focus of this paper is to provide an outline for a research paper on Asian Muslims, a brief annotated bibliography that presents information on culture and practices, a reflection of what has been learned, and what I expect to learn by the end of the research paper.
2. Body Outline
a) The body of the research paper will detail a literature review that examines what other authors have published on the subject.
b) It will also have methodological procedures that entail data collection using existing documents and records.
c) The research paper will provide findings, conclusions, and discussion sections.
d) It will contain the implications of the culture's practices on parties that directly involve with the culture.

Jegatheesan, B., Miller, P. J., & Fowler, S. A. (2010). Autism from a religious perspective: A study of parental beliefs in South Asian Muslim immigrant families. Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities.
The authors of this study provide a focus on Asian Muslims who have children who have Autism. They then interview South Asian Muslims with the aim of ascertaining their beliefs on autism. The methods used for the study were the collection of interviews and conversations that were recorded during an excursion that took a period of 17 months. The results indicated that Asian Muslim families understood that taking care of children with autism had to take place in Muslim terms. The families also contested the understanding provided by experts on the ailment. They believed that the approach presented by experts destabilized rather than supported their children's development. The findings provide insinuations of Muslims perceptions on the contemporary and conventional use of empirical results in the treatment of ailments.

Discussion 1 Relationship Between Purpose of Study and Data Analysi.docxowenhall46084
Discussion 1: Relationship Between Purpose of Study and Data Analysis Techniques
In order to make decisions about the value of any research study for practice, it is important to understand the general processes involved in analyzing research data. By now, you have examined enough research studies to be aware that there are some common ways that data are reported and summarized in research studies. For example, the sample is often described by numbers of participants and by certain characteristics of those participants that help us determine how representative the sample is of a population. The information about the sample is commonly reported in tables and graphs, making use of frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, and dispersion. Information about the variables (or concepts) of interest when quantified are also reported in similar manner.
Although the actual data analysis takes place after data have been collected, from the initial planning of a research study, the researcher needs to have an awareness of the types of questions that can be answered by particular data analysis techniques.
For this Discussion, review the case study entitled "Social Work Research: Measuring Group Success." Consider the data analysis described in that case. Recall the information presented in the earlier chapters of your text about formulating research questions to inform a hypotheses or open-ended exploration of an issue.

Social Work Research: Measuring Group Success
The 12-week psychoeducational support group for survivors of trauma I facilitated consisted of eight women (five of whom identified as Caucasian and three of whom were Hispanic in origin) who had a history of sexual abuse and/or incest. All of the women spoke English, were between 30 and 50 years old, and identified as heterosexual. One woman in the group was married, and the rest were either divorced or single. Five of the women had children. The majority were gainfully employed except for one group member who had multiple sclerosis and was on Social Security Disability Insurance. Members were recruited via internal agency referrals or referrals from other social workers. All members were required to meet individually with a s.

Marquetta’s post:
There are different aspects and things that make up a culture. A group's traditions, holidays, morals, and beliefs can make up a person’s culture. The world is made up of different cultures, which plays a vital role in understanding the individual situation and guiding the social worker on how to interact with the individual. Culture can be defined as how a person can view the world based on their interactions with the world and their environment. There are different aspects of culture, such as religion, ethnicity, and region (Alvarez-Hernandez & Choi, 2017).
Although I am an African American, I consider my culture Southern African American. My experiences of being raised in the south as an African American can differ from another African American woman in a different part of the world. Even within the realm of being a southern African American woman, being raised by my family makes my experience and culture different from someone raised a few miles from me. Within my family culture, religion, relationships, and a sense of community are vital aspects of our culture. These individual aspects together help form my culture and are why I view the world a certain way and analyze things within the world.
My first memory of cultural differences was the celebration of Halloween. For instance, it was customary not to trick-o-treat or go out during Halloween. When permitted, we would have church lock-ins where we played games, roasted hotdogs, slept in the church, and did things within the church. We were not permitted to dress up in scary costumes but did wear things like angel costumes or people from the Bible. This was a norm in my culture. I did not know anything different until starting school. I could hear other children talking about trick or treating, which caused me to have questions. This interaction allowed me to see a cultural difference at a young age. My viewpoint and lens to which I saw the holiday and world were shaped by my upbringing, which is a part of my culture and not just individual differences.
According to the NASW Code of ethics 1.05, A social worker should work to understand a family’s culture regarding their diversity and unjust treatment. The social worker should work to understand their “race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, and mental or physical ability (National Association of Social Workers, 2021)”. A social worker who does not understand a person or family culture risks being biased or showing racism inadvertently (TED, 2017). Lack of cultural awareness can cause distrust and tension in the client and practitioner relationship. For example, a practitioner that was primarily raised in t ...

Adier's Need to Belong as the Key for Mental Health
Rachel Shifron
Abstract
According to Adier's (1932) Individual Psychology the inability to belong or to
connect with others results in pathology. In this essay the author presents several
case studies that highlight the need to belong as a primary issue in therapy. The case
descriptions include therapy with an individual, a couple, a client with addiction
issues, a cross-cultural couple, and a mother and daughter-in-law. The case materi-
als presented in this article reveal that individuals with psychological disorders can
lessen their psychopathology by learning more effective methods to promote belong-
ing. Adlerian methods and interventions to promote belonging are discussed.
In Adier's (1932, 1991) Individual Psychology every child is born with
the need to belong and with the ability to connect with others. Acquiring
the methods of connecting involves a learning process. This kind of learning
is the key for well-being. It is essential that one belongs and is connected
to three significant groups in one's circle of life. I expand Adier's descrip-
tion of the life tasks (Dreikurs, 1950) to refer to these significant groups as
being family, friends, and work associates. Feeling a sense of belonging to
these groups is the primary universal issue of mental health. Individuals with
psychological disorders can lessen their psychopathology by learning more
effective methods to belong.
This article reflects my many years of counseling and therapy from an
Individual Psychology perspective (Shifron, 2006, 2008). My clinical experi-
ences have shown me the universality of the need to belong, and I believe
this paper offers an exceptional opportunity for clinicians from different
theoretical approaches to learn more about Adier's optimistic and brilliant
perspective. Adier's Individual Psychology is based on the conceptualization
that psychopathology results from the lack of feeling belonging. This is an
optimistic view, because the absence of feeling belonging is a curable situ-
ation. According to Adier's theory (Ferguson, 2006), every individual makes
choices. In this paper I focus on the belief that every individual is capable
and creative and that by making different kinds of choices, each person can
learn how to feel belongi ...

Using the Cultural Formulation Interview to Build
Culturally Sensitive Services
Esperanza Díaz, M.D., Luis M. Añez, Psy.D., Michelle Silva, Psy.D., Manuel Paris, Psy.D., Larry Davidson, Ph.D.
As part of the development of DSM-5, the Cultural Formu-
lation Interview (CFI) was administered to 30 monolingual
Spanish-speaking adults at one site of a 2012 feasibility
study of the CFI. The authors identified salient themes in
data collected through use of the CFI, with a focus on
interventions that could lead to more culturally responsive
mental health services. Findings suggest that establishing
trust and focusing on the restoration of social ties while
attending to the impact of stigma and patients’ pressing
psychosocial needs are elements of culturally responsive
services for Hispanic persons. Routine use of the CFI can
help clinicians identify unique needs and preferences
by understanding an individual within his or her cultural
context.
Psychiatric Services 2017; 68:112–114; doi: 10.1176/appi.ps.201600440
Cultural sensitivity increases the probability of a therapeutic
relationship by enhancing trust and improving communi-
cation between clinicians and patients (1). Culturally re-
sponsive services effectively address health care disparities
and increase providers’ knowledge of diverse cultures. In-
troducing culturally responsive care increases service utili-
zation and reduces premature termination (2,3). However,
few examples exist that illustrate culturally responsive care
in routine practice beyond its positive effect on help seeking
and service utilization.
The revision of the Outline for Cultural Formulation from
the DSM-IV resulted in the Cultural Formulation Interview
(CFI) to elicit information about perceived cultural influ-
ences of care with a set of 16 questions included in the
DSM-5 (4). This personalized interview facilitates individ-
ualized assessments by clinicians instead of their relying on
preconceived or stereotypic notions about race-ethnicity or
country of origin (5). The CFI captures the patient’s voice
systematically and documents what is “at stake” for the
person (6). The CFI field trial provided an opportunity to
observe this innovative way to elicit information and to
clarify cultural versus idiosyncratic details. The CFI has a
unique role, even in mental health services that are focused
on racial-ethnic minority groups. In this column, we de-
scribe CFI-elicited information in one of the trial sites and
discuss potential ways for the CFI to improve care.
CFI Field Trial
From February to September 2012, we recruited 30 par-
ticipants for a CFI feasibility study that included an audio-
recorded interview. The participants were monolingual
Spanish-speaking adults ages 18–70 from several Latin
American countries and were receiving outpatient services
at the Hispanic Clinic of the Connecticut Mental Health
Center, which serves individuals regardless of legal status
and ability to pay. We obtained institutional ...

The provision of ethical and responsive treatment to clients of diverse cultural backgrounds is
expected of all practicing psychologists. While this is mandated by the American Psychological
Association’s ethics code and is widely agreed upon as a laudable goal, achieving this mandate is
often more challenging than it may seem. Integrating culturally responsive practices with more
traditional models of psychotherapy into every practitioner’s repertoire is of paramount importance
when considering the rapidly diversifying population we serve. Psychologists are challenged to
reconsider their conceptualizations of culture and of culturally responsive practice, to grapple with
inherent conflicts in traditional training models that may promote treatments that are not culturally
responsive, and to consider the ethical implications of their current practices. Invited expert
commentaries address how conflicts may arise between efforts to meet ethical standards and being
culturally responsive, how the application of outdated theoretical constructs may result in harm to
diverse clients, and how we must develop more culturally responsive views of client needs, of
boundaries and multiple relationships, and of treatment interventions. This article provides addi-
tional considerations for practicing psychologists as they attempt to navigate dimensions of culture
and culturally responsive practice in psychology, while negotiating the ethical challenges presented
in practice.

Issues in Multicultural Correctional Assessment and Treatment By.docxchristiandean12115
Issues in Multicultural Correctional Assessment and Treatment
By Corinne N. Ortega
Introduction Increasing diversity in the United States has widened the base populations to whom psychologists provide services. Various divisions of the American Psychological Association (APA) have recognized the importance of multicultural competencies for more than 25 years (notably, Division 17—Counseling Psychology and Division 45—The Society for the Psychological Study of Ethnic Minority Issues). In 2002, APA formally recognized the evolution of the science and practice of psychology in a diverse society by adopting as policy the Guidelines on Multicultural Education, Training, Research, Practice, and Organizational Change for Psychologists (APA, 2002b). Nowhere is the changing face of the United States reflected more clearly than in its correctional systems. Blacks and Hispanics make up 62% of the incarcerated population, although they comprise only 25% of the national population (Human Rights Watch, 2002). Hispanics represent 40% of all sentenced federal offenders, although they account for only 13% of the total U.S. population (López, 2000). According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (2007), the lifetime chance of a person going to prison is higher for Blacks (18.6%) and Hispanics (10%) than for Whites (3.4%). Furthermore, Blacks represent approximately 40% of the death row population in the United States (Amnesty International, 2003). The sociopolitical and socioeconomic explanations for this phenomenon are complex and far beyond the scope of this chapter. It is clear, however, that given the disproportionate confinement of minorities in the United States, any meaningful discussion of correctional mental health must necessarily include a discussion of multicultural issues. This chapter will first focus on a general overview of multicultural counseling and its applications in correctional settings. Second, the use of psychological tests and assessments with multicultural correctional populations will be explored with an emphasis on forensic evaluations. Finally, the issue of cultural competence with religious minorities and religious extremists will be addressed.
Multicultural Counseling Jackson (1995) succinctly defines multicultural counseling as counseling that takes place between or among individuals from different cultural backgrounds. Although a simple enough definition, the implications of this in the mental health field are far-reaching. The increased racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity in the United States creates a demand for professional services, including mental health, that meet the needs of people from a wide variety of backgrounds (Barrett & George, 2005). The issues involved in providing culturally competent services are as complex and varied as clients themselves (Sue & Sue, 2007). Cookbook approaches to multicultural counseling cannot be utilized without contradicting the very concept. López (2000) discusses this in terms .

AA Meeting for Group Influence
It has been said that unity is a strength, and a single word can work miracles. It has been the sole foundation of social groups that started being formed across the nation in 1997, with the aim creating a social cohesion and helping certain individuals in their hour of need. Some groups focus on health matters; others focus on addiction while other concentrates on integrating old war and US Iraq War soldiers into the peaceful life in the society after having been psychologically affected by war. The Alcoholics Anonymous (The AA Group) is one among the many social gatherings of today. I noticed such when I first visited last Saturday.
Physical Arrangement
AA meetings can occur anywhere, in an open or a closed setting. The meeting I attended was in a community social hall. Individuals were arranged in rows of three, each row containing three seats. At the front, there was a raised platform like a dais with multiple public relations instruments, some musical instruments tables, and chairs. Usually, the members sat on the chairs, new members mixing with old members (Sunstein & Hastie, 2015). The AA's committee members and other associates sat in front of the audience, with other representatives from other social organizations such as LifeRing Secular Recovery, Friends of Nature, Celebrate Recovery, and Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS) (Sunstein & Hastie, 2015). It was a traditional group setting. However, one thing was unique. The walls were decorated with charts, fact maps, Sobriety Slogans, and timetables detailing the group’s upcoming activities.
The group’s composition was also unique. I had read from articles that in a majority of AA meetings, racial diversity is usually low, with sexes ranging at a ratio of 65%-35% male to female (Tonigan, Connors& Miller, 2013). However, this time, it was unique. The group seemed heterogeneous regarding ethnicity while the male to female sex ratio was 55% to 45%. This implies a racial integration and the breaking of traditional norms. In the past, the issue of alcoholism was stereotyped to men, with ladies having a small percentage. However, with the current rate of modernization, alcoholism is becoming a related problem for both genders (Tonigan, Connors& Miller, 2013). Again, it has always been traditionally known that the aged, preferably 47 years and above are burdened by alcoholism. However, the group member’s age ranged from 18-43years.
Purpose, Mission, and Goals
The primary purpose of AA is to create a group of individuals who share hopes, strengths and experience to solve common problems and also help others recover from alcoholism. AAs mission statements vary with regions (Suns ...

Cultural diversity in the workforce involves multilingual colleagues, gender, religion, age, ethnicity, etc. but the lesson plan that I would like to write about is involving colleagues that are multilingual. In today’s society and in our country; speaking more than one language is a great privilege, benefit, and provides many opportunities. It is estimated that over 50 million people speak Spanish either as their primary language or secondary here in the United States of America. As a changing demographic and workforce; it’s of importance to be culturally aware and culturally competent as nurses in our skills, abilities, and experiences. To start our lesson, I’d like to gather employees together and encourage to speak about is common and unique in their culture and welcome different ideas and viewpoints. Next, id like everyone to share a story of either of a time of how they felt respected (of their culture) or the opposite; a time they can share with us of a misjudgment, disrespectful, or treated inferiorly. After these questions and stories are shared; I would like to encourage them to use this a learning experience of each other and how to be mindful and apply this out in the real world. Whether one needs to dissect and identify and prejudice or concerns them have about themselves or how we can all improve and be better individuals by being more aware and cognizant of our surrounding, diversity, and be culturally competent nurses. Common potentials of barriers to learning are getting out of your comfort zone and possibly a negative past experience (that can be hard to overcome). ‘Feedback must be specific, not general. [Adults] must also see a reward for learning … [They] must be interested in the subject [matter]. Interest is directly related to reward. Adults must see the benefit of learning in order to motivate themselves to learn’ (Galbraith 1990: 25). (Falasca, 2011). To overcome barriers; the one leading the group must first assess and communicate effectively what these potential barriers are for each individual. Expecting these potential barriers is important step to move through them and be successful in the goal of the diversity topic of discussion and learning. To assess be see if learning took place and how well this group learning discussion was and how effective it was is to evaluate and have return feedback; either verbally or written down privately.

University
1. Introduction
Culture is observable from a multifaceted approach in the form beliefs, art, morals, law, and customs. In the Asian continent, the Muslim culture has not been given as much focus as Muslims in the Middle East. The focus of this paper is to provide an outline for a research paper on Asian Muslims, a brief annotated bibliography that presents information on culture and practices, a reflection of what has been learned, and what I expect to learn by the end of the research paper.
2. Body Outline
a) The body of the research paper will detail a literature review that examines what other authors have published on the subject.
b) It will also have methodological procedures that entail data collection using existing documents and records.
c) The research paper will provide findings, conclusions, and discussion sections.
d) It will contain the implications of the culture's practices on parties that directly involve with the culture.

Jegatheesan, B., Miller, P. J., & Fowler, S. A. (2010). Autism from a religious perspective: A study of parental beliefs in South Asian Muslim immigrant families. Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities.
The authors of this study provide a focus on Asian Muslims who have children who have Autism. They then interview South Asian Muslims with the aim of ascertaining their beliefs on autism. The methods used for the study were the collection of interviews and conversations that were recorded during an excursion that took a period of 17 months. The results indicated that Asian Muslim families understood that taking care of children with autism had to take place in Muslim terms. The families also contested the understanding provided by experts on the ailment. They believed that the approach presented by experts destabilized rather than supported their children's development. The findings provide insinuations of Muslims perceptions on the contemporary and conventional use of empirical results in the treatment of ailments.

Discussion 1 Relationship Between Purpose of Study and Data Analysi.docxowenhall46084
Discussion 1: Relationship Between Purpose of Study and Data Analysis Techniques
In order to make decisions about the value of any research study for practice, it is important to understand the general processes involved in analyzing research data. By now, you have examined enough research studies to be aware that there are some common ways that data are reported and summarized in research studies. For example, the sample is often described by numbers of participants and by certain characteristics of those participants that help us determine how representative the sample is of a population. The information about the sample is commonly reported in tables and graphs, making use of frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, and dispersion. Information about the variables (or concepts) of interest when quantified are also reported in similar manner.
Although the actual data analysis takes place after data have been collected, from the initial planning of a research study, the researcher needs to have an awareness of the types of questions that can be answered by particular data analysis techniques.
For this Discussion, review the case study entitled "Social Work Research: Measuring Group Success." Consider the data analysis described in that case. Recall the information presented in the earlier chapters of your text about formulating research questions to inform a hypotheses or open-ended exploration of an issue.

Social Work Research: Measuring Group Success
The 12-week psychoeducational support group for survivors of trauma I facilitated consisted of eight women (five of whom identified as Caucasian and three of whom were Hispanic in origin) who had a history of sexual abuse and/or incest. All of the women spoke English, were between 30 and 50 years old, and identified as heterosexual. One woman in the group was married, and the rest were either divorced or single. Five of the women had children. The majority were gainfully employed except for one group member who had multiple sclerosis and was on Social Security Disability Insurance. Members were recruited via internal agency referrals or referrals from other social workers. All members were required to meet individually with a s.

Marquetta’s post:
There are different aspects and things that make up a culture. A group's traditions, holidays, morals, and beliefs can make up a person’s culture. The world is made up of different cultures, which plays a vital role in understanding the individual situation and guiding the social worker on how to interact with the individual. Culture can be defined as how a person can view the world based on their interactions with the world and their environment. There are different aspects of culture, such as religion, ethnicity, and region (Alvarez-Hernandez & Choi, 2017).
Although I am an African American, I consider my culture Southern African American. My experiences of being raised in the south as an African American can differ from another African American woman in a different part of the world. Even within the realm of being a southern African American woman, being raised by my family makes my experience and culture different from someone raised a few miles from me. Within my family culture, religion, relationships, and a sense of community are vital aspects of our culture. These individual aspects together help form my culture and are why I view the world a certain way and analyze things within the world.
My first memory of cultural differences was the celebration of Halloween. For instance, it was customary not to trick-o-treat or go out during Halloween. When permitted, we would have church lock-ins where we played games, roasted hotdogs, slept in the church, and did things within the church. We were not permitted to dress up in scary costumes but did wear things like angel costumes or people from the Bible. This was a norm in my culture. I did not know anything different until starting school. I could hear other children talking about trick or treating, which caused me to have questions. This interaction allowed me to see a cultural difference at a young age. My viewpoint and lens to which I saw the holiday and world were shaped by my upbringing, which is a part of my culture and not just individual differences.
According to the NASW Code of ethics 1.05, A social worker should work to understand a family’s culture regarding their diversity and unjust treatment. The social worker should work to understand their “race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, and mental or physical ability (National Association of Social Workers, 2021)”. A social worker who does not understand a person or family culture risks being biased or showing racism inadvertently (TED, 2017). Lack of cultural awareness can cause distrust and tension in the client and practitioner relationship. For example, a practitioner that was primarily raised in t ...

Adier's Need to Belong as the Key for Mental Health
Rachel Shifron
Abstract
According to Adier's (1932) Individual Psychology the inability to belong or to
connect with others results in pathology. In this essay the author presents several
case studies that highlight the need to belong as a primary issue in therapy. The case
descriptions include therapy with an individual, a couple, a client with addiction
issues, a cross-cultural couple, and a mother and daughter-in-law. The case materi-
als presented in this article reveal that individuals with psychological disorders can
lessen their psychopathology by learning more effective methods to promote belong-
ing. Adlerian methods and interventions to promote belonging are discussed.
In Adier's (1932, 1991) Individual Psychology every child is born with
the need to belong and with the ability to connect with others. Acquiring
the methods of connecting involves a learning process. This kind of learning
is the key for well-being. It is essential that one belongs and is connected
to three significant groups in one's circle of life. I expand Adier's descrip-
tion of the life tasks (Dreikurs, 1950) to refer to these significant groups as
being family, friends, and work associates. Feeling a sense of belonging to
these groups is the primary universal issue of mental health. Individuals with
psychological disorders can lessen their psychopathology by learning more
effective methods to belong.
This article reflects my many years of counseling and therapy from an
Individual Psychology perspective (Shifron, 2006, 2008). My clinical experi-
ences have shown me the universality of the need to belong, and I believe
this paper offers an exceptional opportunity for clinicians from different
theoretical approaches to learn more about Adier's optimistic and brilliant
perspective. Adier's Individual Psychology is based on the conceptualization
that psychopathology results from the lack of feeling belonging. This is an
optimistic view, because the absence of feeling belonging is a curable situ-
ation. According to Adier's theory (Ferguson, 2006), every individual makes
choices. In this paper I focus on the belief that every individual is capable
and creative and that by making different kinds of choices, each person can
learn how to feel belongi ...

Using the Cultural Formulation Interview to Build
Culturally Sensitive Services
Esperanza Díaz, M.D., Luis M. Añez, Psy.D., Michelle Silva, Psy.D., Manuel Paris, Psy.D., Larry Davidson, Ph.D.
As part of the development of DSM-5, the Cultural Formu-
lation Interview (CFI) was administered to 30 monolingual
Spanish-speaking adults at one site of a 2012 feasibility
study of the CFI. The authors identified salient themes in
data collected through use of the CFI, with a focus on
interventions that could lead to more culturally responsive
mental health services. Findings suggest that establishing
trust and focusing on the restoration of social ties while
attending to the impact of stigma and patients’ pressing
psychosocial needs are elements of culturally responsive
services for Hispanic persons. Routine use of the CFI can
help clinicians identify unique needs and preferences
by understanding an individual within his or her cultural
context.
Psychiatric Services 2017; 68:112–114; doi: 10.1176/appi.ps.201600440
Cultural sensitivity increases the probability of a therapeutic
relationship by enhancing trust and improving communi-
cation between clinicians and patients (1). Culturally re-
sponsive services effectively address health care disparities
and increase providers’ knowledge of diverse cultures. In-
troducing culturally responsive care increases service utili-
zation and reduces premature termination (2,3). However,
few examples exist that illustrate culturally responsive care
in routine practice beyond its positive effect on help seeking
and service utilization.
The revision of the Outline for Cultural Formulation from
the DSM-IV resulted in the Cultural Formulation Interview
(CFI) to elicit information about perceived cultural influ-
ences of care with a set of 16 questions included in the
DSM-5 (4). This personalized interview facilitates individ-
ualized assessments by clinicians instead of their relying on
preconceived or stereotypic notions about race-ethnicity or
country of origin (5). The CFI captures the patient’s voice
systematically and documents what is “at stake” for the
person (6). The CFI field trial provided an opportunity to
observe this innovative way to elicit information and to
clarify cultural versus idiosyncratic details. The CFI has a
unique role, even in mental health services that are focused
on racial-ethnic minority groups. In this column, we de-
scribe CFI-elicited information in one of the trial sites and
discuss potential ways for the CFI to improve care.
CFI Field Trial
From February to September 2012, we recruited 30 par-
ticipants for a CFI feasibility study that included an audio-
recorded interview. The participants were monolingual
Spanish-speaking adults ages 18–70 from several Latin
American countries and were receiving outpatient services
at the Hispanic Clinic of the Connecticut Mental Health
Center, which serves individuals regardless of legal status
and ability to pay. We obtained institutional ...

The provision of ethical and responsive treatment to clients of diverse cultural backgrounds is
expected of all practicing psychologists. While this is mandated by the American Psychological
Association’s ethics code and is widely agreed upon as a laudable goal, achieving this mandate is
often more challenging than it may seem. Integrating culturally responsive practices with more
traditional models of psychotherapy into every practitioner’s repertoire is of paramount importance
when considering the rapidly diversifying population we serve. Psychologists are challenged to
reconsider their conceptualizations of culture and of culturally responsive practice, to grapple with
inherent conflicts in traditional training models that may promote treatments that are not culturally
responsive, and to consider the ethical implications of their current practices. Invited expert
commentaries address how conflicts may arise between efforts to meet ethical standards and being
culturally responsive, how the application of outdated theoretical constructs may result in harm to
diverse clients, and how we must develop more culturally responsive views of client needs, of
boundaries and multiple relationships, and of treatment interventions. This article provides addi-
tional considerations for practicing psychologists as they attempt to navigate dimensions of culture
and culturally responsive practice in psychology, while negotiating the ethical challenges presented
in practice.

Issues in Multicultural Correctional Assessment and Treatment By.docxchristiandean12115
Issues in Multicultural Correctional Assessment and Treatment
By Corinne N. Ortega
Introduction Increasing diversity in the United States has widened the base populations to whom psychologists provide services. Various divisions of the American Psychological Association (APA) have recognized the importance of multicultural competencies for more than 25 years (notably, Division 17—Counseling Psychology and Division 45—The Society for the Psychological Study of Ethnic Minority Issues). In 2002, APA formally recognized the evolution of the science and practice of psychology in a diverse society by adopting as policy the Guidelines on Multicultural Education, Training, Research, Practice, and Organizational Change for Psychologists (APA, 2002b). Nowhere is the changing face of the United States reflected more clearly than in its correctional systems. Blacks and Hispanics make up 62% of the incarcerated population, although they comprise only 25% of the national population (Human Rights Watch, 2002). Hispanics represent 40% of all sentenced federal offenders, although they account for only 13% of the total U.S. population (López, 2000). According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (2007), the lifetime chance of a person going to prison is higher for Blacks (18.6%) and Hispanics (10%) than for Whites (3.4%). Furthermore, Blacks represent approximately 40% of the death row population in the United States (Amnesty International, 2003). The sociopolitical and socioeconomic explanations for this phenomenon are complex and far beyond the scope of this chapter. It is clear, however, that given the disproportionate confinement of minorities in the United States, any meaningful discussion of correctional mental health must necessarily include a discussion of multicultural issues. This chapter will first focus on a general overview of multicultural counseling and its applications in correctional settings. Second, the use of psychological tests and assessments with multicultural correctional populations will be explored with an emphasis on forensic evaluations. Finally, the issue of cultural competence with religious minorities and religious extremists will be addressed.
Multicultural Counseling Jackson (1995) succinctly defines multicultural counseling as counseling that takes place between or among individuals from different cultural backgrounds. Although a simple enough definition, the implications of this in the mental health field are far-reaching. The increased racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity in the United States creates a demand for professional services, including mental health, that meet the needs of people from a wide variety of backgrounds (Barrett & George, 2005). The issues involved in providing culturally competent services are as complex and varied as clients themselves (Sue & Sue, 2007). Cookbook approaches to multicultural counseling cannot be utilized without contradicting the very concept. López (2000) discusses this in terms .

Acme Manufacturing Company Steve Arnold is a production manager a.docxstelzriedemarla
Acme Manufacturing Company
Steve Arnold is a production manager at Acme Manufacturing Company in New
Jersey. When drove into the parking lot at the plant on Tuesday morning at 8:35, he was
already 35 minutes late for work. Steve had overslept that morning because the night before he
had stayed up late to finish the monthly production report for his department. He parked his car
and entered the rear of the plant building. Passing through the shipping area, Steve spotted his
friend George Summers and stopped to ask how work was progressing on the new addition to
George’s house.
Entering the office at 8:55, Steve greeted his secretary, Ruth Sweeney, and asked whether
anything urgent needed his immediate attention. Ruth reminded him of the staff meeting at
9:30 with Steve’s boss—Frank Jones, the vice president for Production—and the other produc-
tion managers. Steve thanked Ruth for reminding him (he had forgotten about the meeting) and
continued on to his adjoining inner office to look for the memo announcing the meeting. He
vaguely remembered getting the memo in an email one or two weeks earlier, but did not take the
time to read it or look at the attached materials.
His phone rang, and it was Sue Bradley, the sales vice president, who was inquiring about
the status of a rush order for one of the company’s important clients. Steve promised to look
into the matter and get back to her later in the day with an answer. Steve had delegated the
rush order last week to Lucy Adams, one of his production supervisors, and he had not thought
about it since then. Stepping back into the outer office, Steve asked Ruth if she had seen Lucy
today. Ruth reminded him that Lucy was at a training workshop in California. She would be
difficult to reach until the session ended late in the afternoon, because the workshop facilitators
regard cell phone calls and text messages as an unnecessary distraction.
Going back into his office, Steve emailed a message to Lucy asking her to call him as
soon as possible. Then, he resumed his search for the memo about the meeting with his boss
and the other production managers. He finally found it in his large collection of unprocessed
emails. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a proposed change in quality control proce-
dures. By now it was 9:25, and there was no time to read the proposal. He hurried out to get to
the meeting on time. During the meeting, the other production managers participated in the
discussion and made helpful comments or suggestions. Steve was not prepared for the meet-
ing and did not contribute much except to say that he did not anticipate any problems with the
proposed changes.
The meeting ended at 10:30, and Steve returned to his office, where he found Paul Chen,
one of his production supervisors, waiting for him. Paul wanted to discuss a problem caused
in the production schedules by a major equipment breakdown. Steve called Glenda Brown,

According to social science research, how are media violence and societal violence connected? Why does media violence have the power to inspire copycat crimes, and what are some examples? Respond to another student's post.
reply to this:
It has been proven according to the first video that the violence in the games can lead to some violent behavior in people that are already prone to the violence. If the person is not already prone to the violence then the media violence may make them a little bit angry, but will not lead to any social violence. They have said that media does have the power to inspire copycat crimes. One that is mentioned by the book is the school shootings in the late 90's. Some people have even tried to use video games as a defense to why they did the shootings.

According to Nieto and Bode (2008), “Becoming a multicultural teacher …means first becoming a multicultural person” (p. 392). Throughout this course, we will discover ways to create multicultural learning environments that are responsive to the needs of children and their families. The first step is to examine our own beliefs about multicultural education. For this assignment, you will:
Describe your current beliefs about multicultural education (i.e., how you define it). Complete this step before reading the article and the other source you choose.
Create your own multicultural education philosophy statement after reading the
Multicultural education
article and at least one other scholarly source of your choice.
Discuss two to three specific ways to incorporate your philosophy into a multicultural classroom.
Discuss two to three obstacles you might encounter when creating a multicultural learning environment and include ways to address these challenges.
For this assignment, you will create a multimedia presentation using
NewHive
, or PowerPoint. If you choose to use NewHive, start by creating a free account. Your multimedia presentation should thoroughly address each of the four points above and your information should be presented in a clear, creative, and visually appealing way.

According to Fiske (2014), there are “core social motives” that influence human cognition and behavior. The motives include
belonging, understanding, controlling, self- enhancing
, and
trusting
, and they are contingent upon an individual’s interpretation of any given situation. An individual’s cultural values, beliefs, and practices can also affect his or her experiences and perceptions, which can in turn influence an individual’s core social motives.
For this Discussion, identify a current event that involves multiple people and focus on one particular person in that event. Consider the core motives of the person in the event that might explain his or her behavior.
Write
a brief description of the current event you selected and one individual involved in the current event. Then describe two potential core social motives that might explain the individual’s behavior in the event and why. Finally, explain one way you might use core social motives to predict individual behavior within your psychology field of interest.

According to Feenstra (2013):
“Social psychologists investigate how people view themselves and others, how they interact with and influence others, and how people act when part of a group. Given the amount of time spent thinking about and interacting with other people, it follows that much of our lives are spent with the subject matter of social psychology.”(p.xix)
This is a formal research paper and must be eight to ten pages in length. Imagine that this paper will be used as a reference for individuals who are completely unfamiliar with social psychology principles. This paper will provide them with an overview of the field, and explain the key principles associated with its practice.
Include the following components in your research paper:
1. Discovering the Self – How do we perceive ourselves and our interactions with others?
a. Self-concept, awareness, and self-schemas
b. The acting self
c. Self-esteem and self-efficacy
2. Thinking About Others – What judgments do we make about other people?
a. Attributions: internal, external, explanatory style
b. Attitudes and behavior
c. Prejudice, stereotypes, discrimination
3. Influencing Others: Persuasion – How do we use the power of persuasion?
a. Persuasion techniques
b. Characteristics of the persuader, message, audience
4. Influencing Others: Obedience and Conformity – What factors lead us to conform and become obedient?

“According to child development specialists, one of the most accurate ways to learn about children is to observe them in daily activities” (Wortham, 2012, p. 117). Among the many types of observation discussed in Chapter 5, anecdotal records, running records, time sampling, and event sampling are widely used in schools and centers across the nation. For this discussion, you will begin to develop a plan for the observation types you will use in your written assignment this week, which involves the observation of an actual child. Here is what you are asked to do:
Choose either anecdotal or running records. Describe the record type and explain its characteristics. Discuss whether you will be observing social/emotional development, physical development, cognitive development, or language development (choose one), and what the purposes are for assessing that domain.
Next, choose either time sampling or event sampling. Describe the sampling method and tell what its characteristics are. Discuss whether you will be observing social/emotional development, physical development, cognitive development or language development (choose one that is a different domain from above) and what the purposes are for assessing that domain.
Attached is an example of the anecdotal and running record as well as the time and event sampling.

According to the lecture:
The dominant group places the blame for disadvantage on the disadvantaged, based on assumptions about group characteristics such as lack of motivation, cultural preferences, or other victim-blaming ideas. On the other side, resistance to change and a seeming refusal to open the doors of opportunity are interpreted as racist or sexist attempts to deny dominant group members their rights, strategies to oppress and exploit them, or simple hatred. While arguments for and against both sides can be made, none are very useful in addressing the real issue – inequality itself, and its costs to the society at large.
You live in a middle class suburban area in the northeastern portion of the U.S.
A building planning board has been approached to have a federally-funded homeless shelter in a suburban town. Advocates for the shelter presented architectural plans for a five-story building that would contain 200 hotel-style rooms. This shelter would provide privacy and dignity to those who were homeless. The advocates noted that most of the homeless population in the area is comprised of women and children. In addition, most of the homeless belong to a group called the working poor. They are working but do not earn enough income to afford housing. The board will be meeting today to decide the approval of the shelter.e.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Discussion1 ConfidentialityOne of the most important concep.docx
1. Discussion1: Confidentiality
One of the most important concepts in clinical practice and
group work is confidentiality. All members of the group sign an
informed consent form in order to address the rules and
parameters of the group sessions. The rules regarding
confidentiality are stated in one section of the form. Although
every member must sign this agreement, ensuring that all
information shared in the group remains confidential can be
difficult. As the group leader, the clinical social worker is
responsible for developing strategies so that all members feel
safe to share.

Working With Groups
:
Latino
Patients Living
With
HIV/AIDS
The support group discussed here was created to address the
unique needs of a vulnerable population receiving services at an
3. outpatient interdisciplinary comprehensive care center. The
center’s mission was to provide medical and psychosocial
services to adult patients living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH). Both
patients and providers at the center expressed a need for a group
to address the needs of the center’s Latino population. At the
time the group was created, 36% of the center’s population
identified as Latino, and 25% of this cohort identified Spanish
as their primary language. The purpose of the group was
twofold: 1) to reduce the social isolation felt by Latino patients
at the center and 2) to create a culturally sensitive environment
where Latino patients could explore common medical and
psychosocial issues faced by PLWH within a cultural context.
Planning for the group consisted of 1) defining a format for the
group, 2) recruiting appropriate members, and 3) building an
appropriate group composition. When considering the format of
the group, I thought about structure, time, place, and language.
The group was designated a closed group in that new patients
were not admitted once the initial membership was determined.
The group was held in the center’s conference room, which was
furnished with comfortable seating around a large conference
table so that members were visible to each other during group
sessions. The group met once a week for 90-minute sessions
during which 60 minutes were spent on open discussion and the
last 30 minutes were spent on having lunch. Given the
importance of food in the Latino culture, I thought members
would appreciate the opportunity to share a meal with their
peers. I decided to designate the group as Spanish-speaking so
that all sessions were held in Spanish. This offered members not
only a sense of comfort and an opportunity to explore issues in
their native tongue, but it also addressed the language barrier
that often isolates Latino PLWH.
I used several strategies to recruit members. I hung flyers
throughout the center, and I informed my colleagues about the
group during interdisciplinary staff meetings. Referrals
4. ultimately came from physicians, social workers, and even
administrative staff who had developed relationships with
patients at the center. When considering group composition, I
focused on creating balance in group size and the characteristics
of individual members. I worked to create a group with enough
members so that discussions would be fruitful and differing
opinions could be presented, but at the same time, individual
members would have an opportunity to discuss their unique
feelings, thoughts, and opinions. When it came to member
characteristics, I strove to create a balance between
homogeneity and heterogeneity across such domains as age, sex,
sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, etc. The goal was to
create a group where no member felt isolated by uniqueness
while simultaneously promoting diversity between members.
Prior to being admitted to the group, potential members were
interviewed/screened in person or by phone. The focus of these
interviews was to 1) assess the patient’s ability to communicate
in Spanish, 2) describe the purpose of the group, 3) discuss
individual expectations for the group, and 4) answer questions
about group process and function. A total of 15 patients were
referred. Four declined to participate before the group started
and two did not show up after the first session. Of the remaining
nine members, three were women and six were men. All of the
men had a significant history of intravenous drug use (IVDU).
Two of the men identified as gay, one identified as bisexual,
and three considered themselves to be heterosexual. All of the
women were heterosexual, identified a risk factor of
unprotected heterosexual sex, and denied a history of IVDU.
Members’ ages ranged from 36 to 60.
The group ran successfully for 18 months. Throughout the life
of the group, several recurrent themes were discussed, including
1) stigma of HIV and homosexuality, 2) disclosure of HIV
status, 3) safer sex practices, 4) adherence to HIV treatment,
and 5) the doctor–patient relationship. Each of these themes was
discussed within a cultural context giving light to issues such as
5. familialism, collectivism,
simpatia, machismo
(gender roles), and Latino culture’s tendency to rely on a folk
model of medicine.
As in most groups, certain members adopted roles within the
group. For example, Anna, a 46-year-old female member,
adopted the role of the “silent member.” She repeatedly came to
sessions and sat in silence, only responding when she was
prompted by direct questions from me or other members. The
challenge with Anna was that as this behavior continued, other
members tended to ignore her and leave her out of the
discussion. In turn, it became my role to try to engage Anna as
much as possible and draw her into the discussion. Another
example is Diego, a 60-year-old male, who adopted the role of
the “help-rejecting complainer.” Throughout group sessions,
Diego repeatedly presented a problem or issue and engaged the
entire group by asking for help. When members responded with
suggestions or solutions, he came up with a myriad of excuses
why none of them would work. I will admit I was not successful
at altering Diego’s behavior in any way. I attempted to point out
the pattern, and I tried to ask other members how it felt to
constantly have their input rejected, but nothing seemed to
work. Group members did express frustration and boredom with
Diego. This was manifested in their body language and during
group sessions when Diego was not present. When members
spoke about Diego in his absence, I always encouraged them to
bring these issues to his attention when he was present, but
members were not able to do this because they were fearful of
hurting his feelings.
Ultimately, the group served as an arena for mutual support and
commonality. Group members forged relationships with peers
with whom they would not have had contact in the absence of
the group. They also had the opportunity to reflect on their
illness and personal experiences within a safe and culturally
6. sensitive environment. While a scientific evaluation of the
group was not performed, I witnessed and members reported
positive outcomes from the experience.
