Assignment: Psychotherapeutic Approaches to Group Therapy for Addiction

When selecting a psychotherapeutic approach for a client, you must consider the unique needs and characteristics of that particular client. The same is true when selecting a psychotherapeutic approach for groups. Not every approach is appropriate for every group, and the group’s unique needs and characteristics must be considered. For this Assignment, you examine psychotherapeutic approaches to group therapy for addiction.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Evaluate psychotherapeutic approaches to group therapy for addiction

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide on group therapy for addiction.
• View the media, Levy Family: Sessions 1-7, and consider the psychotherapeutic approaches being used.

The Assignment

In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:

• Identify the psychotherapeutic approach that the group facilitator is using and explain why she might be using this approach.
• Determine whether or not you would use the same psychotherapeutic approach if you were the counselor facilitating this group and justify your decision.
• Identify an alternative approach to group therapy for addiction and explain why it is an appropriate option.
• Support your position with evidence-based literature.

Note: The College of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The sample paper provided by the Walden Writing Center provides examples of those required elements (available at http://writingcenter.waldenu.edu/57.htm). All papers submitted must use this formatting.

Legal and Ethical Considerations for Group and Family Therapy

According to Locher et al. (2019), psychotherapy is an evidence-based psychological intervention that tackles behavioral or psychiatric disorders. Several different approaches may be used to take form in either individual or group/ family psychotherapy. Group psychotherapy typically involves a clinician and a set of persons who have similar mental health or psychiatric disorders, who meet at specified times to discuss, process, or listen to persons dealing with similar issues (Exhumalai et al., 2018). Whether psychotherapy is in the individual or group setting, ethical or legal implications may arise.

Confidentiality is a significant concern not only in the individual setting but especially in the group setting. With individual psychotherapy, it is only the clinician and the client, and the patients are less concerned about this aspect being breached.  It involves other individuals in a group or family setting; thus, the therapist cannot promise or guarantee that confidentiality will be maintained (McClanahan. 2014). However, the practitioner can urge the group members to keep what is discussed or processed confidentially.

Informed consent is another ethical consideration that will differ with a group versus individual psychotherapy. Shah et al. (2020) define informed consent as the process in which a provider educates a patient about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of an intervention. In psychotherapy, the provider will inform the patient about expected behaviors and set limits or boundaries, which is done before commencing therapy. The patient can then make an informed decision about whether they wish to participate. Breeskin (2011), in his article “Procedures and guidelines for group therapy,” gives an example of how this may be presented to a client. When a client signs the document, it can be legally binding. Therefore, it is essential to know the laws of your state and how they impact your practice.

Impact on therapeutic Approaches

An important fact to remember is the consequences of breaching confidentiality and failing to inform patients properly. For example, if there is a patient in group therapy that you see individually, that client’s information should never be disclosed in the group. Similarly, not informing the patient of how group therapy may impact them negatively (not just positively) can have a lasting effect on the client. The patient should be educated on what they may encounter so they can decide on whether to be a part of group therapy or not.

Finally, the provider must realize that he/she is catering to the entire group and not a specific client. The responses given by the clinician must benefit the group as a whole and not just one patient. Exhumalai et al. (2018) remind us that group therapy aims to be corrective, educational, therapeutic, developmental, preventative, and recreational. To meet these criteria, the clinician should aim to cater to all group members.

Leadership Skills Toolbox

Submit Assignment

• Due Tuesday by 11:59pm
• Points 100
• Submitting a file upload

Consider what you might put in a toolbox if you were going to build something in your home. You might want a hammer, some nails, maybe a level, and if they were available power tools could be a big help and perhaps may the project finish more quickly. The most important part of your toolbox is having tools you know how to use properly and keeping them at your fingertips, ready to use when needed. 

Now that we have reviewed the benefits of focusing on your strengths, as much if not more than areas with room for growth, consider what you would want to have in your leadership toolbox. What strengths have you identified that are your primary tools as a leader? What strength would be the first tool you might take out of your toolbox if you needed to help organize a skilled team? Would you choose a different tool if you moved into a team that had never worked together before?

For this assignment, imagine you are the leader of a group in one of your courses and the assignment is to do a semester-long service learning project. You will need to identify and discuss specific things you could do to create a positive climate, positive relationships, positive communication, and positive meaning in a group with your peers.

First, consider the strengths you have that would help you lead this semester-long project. In your response of at least 300 words include what you would include in your leadership toolbox to help you create a positive and productive leadership style to support your team.

Create a 250-350 word response that includes the following:

• Paragraph 1: Identify at least three of your leadership strengths that are in your leadership toolbox that you can rely on supporting you as a leader in a variety of settings. Include a short description of the strength and why you feel it would be helpful to you as a leader.
• Paragraph 2: Describe what you would use from your toolbox if you were the new leader of a team that was highly skilled in their field. Why do you feel this would be the best choice for this team?
• Paragraph 3: Discuss which choice you would make if you were asked to be the leader of a team that had never worked together before. Provide an explanation of why you would or would not choose something different from your toolbox for this group. 

Please keep in mind, even if you have not had an opportunity to lead a group formally, you can reflect on how you have provided leadership in many different settings to help support your thinking for this reflection.
