The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), offers a common language and standard criteria for the classification of mental disorders.
Psychological resilience is defined as an individual's ability to properly adapt to stress and adversity. Stress and adversity can come in the shape of family or relationship problems, health problems, or workplace and financial worries, among others.
Group therapy involves one or more psychologists who lead a group of roughly five to 15 patients. Typically, groups meet for an hour or two each week. Some people attend individual therapy in addition to groups, while others participate in groups only.

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

3. History of Group Therapy (in the U.S.)
Before 1900’s
Large groups (e.g., immigrants, poor, etc.)
Hull House
Groups for people with tuberculosis (1905)
Moreno (1921) – Theater of Spontaneity (psychodrama)
AA founded in 1930’s
Introduced in the 1940s, though Alfred Adler (“Collective
Counseling”) and a few others
Early efforts similar to today’s group guidance and
psychoeducational groups
WWII and its effects led to popularization of group therapy
4. The 1960’s Human Potential Movement
Founded on belief that most people only use a small
percentage of their capabilities but that within a group
experience, they can recognize their full potential.
Started proliferation of personal growth groups
Gestalt groups
T-Groups: Individuals come together to learn how to work in a
group and to effect interpersonal change.
Encounter Groups: Designed to help normal individuals
remove blocks that inhibit their functioning
Marathon Groups: An intensified encounter group that meets
for a long period of time (e.g. 8 hours or a whole weekend.)
History of Group Therapy (cont.)
6. Types of Groups
Task Groups: A group that comes together to perform a task that has a
concrete goal (e.g. community organizations, committees, planning
groups, task force).
Guidance/Psychoeducational Group: Preventative and educational
groups that help group members learn information about a particular topic
or issue and might also help group members cope with that same issue
(e.g. transition group to prepare students to enter high school etc.)
Counseling/Interpersonal Problem-Solving Groups: These groups help
participants resolve problems of living through interpersonal support and
problem solving.
Psychotherapy Groups: These groups focus on personality
reconstruction or remediation of deep-seated psychological problems.
Support Groups: These deal with special populations and deal with
specific issues and offer support, comfort, and connectedness to others.
Self-help Groups: These have no formal or trained group leader. (e.g.
Alcoholics Anonymous or Gamblers Anonymous.)
8. Therapeutic Forces In Groups (Yalom)
Instillation of Hope
Universality
Imparting of Information
Group Cohesiveness (belonging)
Catharsis
Support
Feedback and Confrontation
Existential Factors (risk, responsibility)
Interpersonal Learning (modeling, vicarious learning)
Group as a microcosm (e.g., social contact, roles)
Simulation of primary family
Altruism
Corrective emotional experience
Development of social skills
9. Advantages of groups
Groups provide a social atmosphere that is similar to the real world
Groups provide more opportunity for social learning
Participants can more easily learn interpersonal skills
Members can practice new interpersonal skills on each other
Particularly developmentally appropriate for adolescents
Groups are cost effective
Groups provide commonality (e.g. “I’m not the only one with this problem”)
Group experiences help members become aware of how others view them
and what impact their behavior has on others
Group dynamics can replicate family of origin dynamics and thus help
group members work out old family issues
A group member makes public statements regarding change and thus is
more likely to follow through with stated behavior
Members receive feedback/support/challenge that encourage or facilitate
change
Groups offer diversity of perspectives
10. “What I got out of group therapy”
“What I got out of group therapy: I was treated with
respect, listened to, not judged. I was able to say in
"public" what my symptoms were and how I felt. I met
other people who had what I had which relieved the
feeling of isolation. I learned from the other members
of the group what worked for them and copied the
skills that worked for me. I got encouragement from
the others when I wanted to die. I got compliments
when I did well or said something they liked. I had a
chance to give and get feedback. I got to hear myself
think out loud as I vocally processed what I was
dealing with, thus getting it clearer in my own mind."
From Wikipedia.org (group therapy)
11. Disadvantages of groups
Not everyone can be in a group (e.g., issues, interpersonal skills)
Confidentiality more difficult to maintain
Harder to build trust and safety
Group leaders are not always properly trained
Not enough time to deal with each person thoroughly
Group leaders have less control than in individual therapy
There are concerns with conformity and peer pressure
Scapegoating may occur
A disruptive person can cause more harm
Casualties are more likely to occur
13. Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria
Who benefits?
Depends on the group
Almost anyone can benefit from group
People who have the most difficult time in relationships
are those who might most benefit from group therapy
Usually form a group by creating exclusion criteria
Possible reasons for exclusion
Acute situational crisis
Deeply depressed suicidal clients
Members who are unable to attend regularly
Clients with Antisocial Personality Disorder (unless
the group is specifically designed for them)

17. Concerns in Group Work
Participant Selection: Screening is needed with counseling and
psychotherapy groups. Some people are not well suited for group work.
Group Size: Varies from 3-4 members to several hundred depending upon
the group (e.g. psychotherapeutic or task group). Group counseling and
psychotherapy generally work best with 6-8 members.
Length and Duration of Sessions: Individual sessions are usually 50
minutes, group sessions range from 1-2 hours. Session duration can be
only once or in some cases might last for years (e.g. open-ended
psychotherapy group).
Group structure can be open (allows members to enter and leave the
group as needed) and closed (only the group members who started at
the beginning are in the group at the end).
Ethics: Confidentiality is hard to guarantee due to the number of
participants.
Group Evaluation: Outcome measurements are difficult to obtain.
18. Group Development
Development occurs in an orderly fashion
through stages
Stages are completed in sequence
Knowledge of developmental stages allows
one to predict behavior
Development can be facilitated
19. Stages of groups
Stage One (Orientation/Forming):
Group members orient to group and
each other.
Stage Two (Transition/Storming):
Anxiety, ambiguity, and conflict become prevalent as group members
struggle to define themselves and group norms.
Stage Three (Cohesiveness/Norming):
A therapeutic alliance forms between group members.
Stage Four (Working/Performing):
Group members experiment with new ideas, behaviors or ways of
thinking. Egalitarianism develops.
Stage Five (Adjourning/Terminating):
The group disbands.
20. Stage 1: Orientation/Forming Stage
Members lean on the group leader for guidance. Group
rules and norms are discussed.
Members are guarded because trust has not yet been built.
Members may also be defensive and resistant because
they are unsure.
Member roles are explored.
Members may come forth with hidden agendas
Group leaders do a lot of guiding at this stage.
Group leaders model communication and behavior that
they want the group to follow.
21. Moving from the Orientation/Forming stage:
Members are ready to move to the next stage when:
they have internalized the ground rules and are following them.
they have developed some trust with one another.
the group feels safe to group members.
members treat each other with respect and caring.
22. Stage 2: Storming/Transition Stage
Conflict is common.
Members begin to test the group and seek power and
greater self-disclosure.
Other members may attempt to block increased self-
disclosure due to feelings of threat or feeling uncomfortable.
Members may act tentatively and experimentally, testing
others reactions.
Group leaders model appropriate self-disclosure.
Group leaders facilitate responses that are genuine,
concrete and suitable to the present level of disclosure.
23. Moving from the Storming/Transition stage
Members are ready to move to the next stage when:
Members feel closer to one another.
Trust and risk taking behaviors have increased.
Members show care-taking behavior toward one another.
24. Stage 3: Cohesiveness/norming stage
People know what is expected and act
accordingly.
Members are sensitive and responsive to one
another.
Members have developed an emotional
attachment to each other.
25. Stage 4: Working/performing stage
Group leaders are less active and members
more active.
Group leaders model appropriate ways to
confront others.
Members make a commitment to change and act
on that commitment.
26. Stage 5: Termination or Disengagement Stage
Disengagement usually begins a few sessions before
the ending of the group.
Self-disclosure and risk taking taper off.
Grief and loss issues are common.
Feelings of ambivalence about the group ending are
also common.
Group counselors reinforce the growth made in the
group and encourage members to continue to
maintain progress.
Counselors make any necessary referrals
27. Group Development Over Time
Group becomes less leader centered and more member centered.
Self-disclosure moves from being centered on impersonal events or
feelings located in the past to more personal and present centered.
Conflicts are handled less by avoidance and more by
acknowledgment.
Norms change from those that have been more imposed by the
leader to those collaborated on by the group and these norms
reflect the culture of the group.
Boundaries between members move from being rigid to being more
flexible.
Individual and cultural differences become more respected and
valued.
Members move from reluctance in hearing feedback to seeking it.
28. Purposes of therapist intervention
To help build an atmosphere of trust and safety.
To prevent or cut off abuse and/or hostility.
To enforce rules and norms.
To redirect focus.
To provide feedback.
To get a member’s input, reaction or feedback.
To draw connections between members or point out themes.
To correct irrational or faulty thinking.
To empower participants.
To offer support when needed.
To reinforce helpful contributions.
To encourage constructive risk taking
To provide structure when it is needed.
To stop unproductive gripe sessions.
To confront incongruence or inconsistencies.
To bring closure to a topic or a session.
29. The function of the group therapist
Emotional Stimulation
Challenging
Confronting
Modeling self-disclosure
Caring
Showing support
Providing praise, warmth, and acceptance
Meaning Attribution
Explaining and clarifying
Interpreting
Linking
Executive Function
Providing rules and setting limits
Managing time
Commenting on group dynamics
30. Benefits of having co-therapists
More expertise.
Allows for division of labor (e.g. one leader can concentrate on
content and the other leader can look at process variables).
Group members receive more individual attention.
Two leaders can model communication and conflict resolution.
Two leaders provide diversity in theoretical orientation,
interpersonal style, and cultural resources.
31. Limitations/dangers of co-therapists
If two leaders do not get along, it can be detrimental and even
harmful to group
Co-leaders might develop competition between themselves and
this too is not good for the group
If co-leaders have different skill levels, one might try to lead the
other. This can lead to coalitions with other group members or
even in the marginalization of the more inexperienced leader
Group members might feel ganged up on if both leaders
become adamant in getting across a therapeutic message
Groups with two leaders can more easily become over
structured
