, CHAPTER 1
How are Groups Present in Our Lives?
1. Although group effectiveness is difficult to define and is related to purpose and leadership of the
group, some general principles have been agreed upon. For example, group processes generally are
most effective when the group:
a. Has an authoritarian leader who maintains interpersonal rules and directions from the group.
*b. Develops new ways of functioning in response to emerging needs and patterns of interaction
among group leaders.
c. Identifies group members who inhibit movement toward the group’s goals.
d. Works on several group tasks simultaneously, thereby increasing group efficiency.
Rationale: The leadership style of an authoritarian leader who maintains interpersonal rules and di-
rections from the group can increase structure in a group but may not be the most effective for the
group process. Group processes can be most effective when the group develops new ways of func-
tioning in response to emerging needs and patterns of interaction among group leaders. While it may
be important in the course of a group to identify group members who inhibit movement toward the
group’s goals, this may not increase the effectiveness of the group. Though working on several group
tasks simultaneously can increase group efficiency, this does not necessarily increase group effective-
ness.
2. Which of the following in NOT an advantage of group counseling as compared to individual coun-
seling?
a. Learning about others
b. Effectiveness
c. Interpersonal influence
*d. Avoiding the exploration of Racism in group work
Rationale: The following are advantages of group counseling as compared to individual counseling
including learning about others, effectiveness, and interpersonal influence. It will be important for
group leaders to also be intentional about exploring the impact of racism on the group experience for
all group members as often as needed.
3. Which of the following are reasons to facilitate groups:
a. They are fun.
b. They are engaging.
c. They are healing.
*d. All of the above.
Rationale: The following are common benefits group leaders share for conducting groups beyond
simply fostering mental health; they are fun, engaging, and healing. Group leaders should explore
benefits and challenges of groups for clients and themselves.

,4. Groups are everywhere, except:
a. Churches.
b. Schools.
c. Businesses.
*d. None of the above.
Rationale: In contemporary society, groups are active everywhere.

, CHAPTER 2
The Group Experience for Counselor Trainees
1. What are some drawbacks to taking this course when the professor fulfills both the role of counselor
educator and group facilitator:
a. The course is time consuming.
b. Self-disclosure may be difficult.
c. Student and professor must manage multiple relationships.
*d. Both B and C.
e. None of the above.
Rationale: Managing multiple relationships and self-disclosure may be difficult when the professor
is fulfilling the role of counselor educator and group facilitator in this course.
2. According to CACREP, everything you need to know in order to be an advanced level group facili-
tator is learned in:
a. The Introduction to Group Counseling course.
b. The Practicum Course.
c. The Internship Course.
d. All of the above.
*e. None of the above.
Rationale: According to CACREP, the standards required in the Introduction to Group Counseling,
Practicum, and Internship courses are minimal towards group leadership knowledge and skill devel-
opment. True skill development comes once more clinical experience is obtained.
