"In this training video, Dr. Rex Stockton demystifies the nuances of the beginning, working, and ending stages of short-term group therapy. As part of a 16-week process group, six adults have come to gain insight into a variety of pressing life issues. Under supervision from Stockton, who provides useful commentary throughout the video, co-leaders Eddie and Kent help members set clear goals for the group, agree on expectations, give and receive feedback, and deepen self-disclosure. As the group gains momentum, the leaders must recognize clinical signposts, strike a supportive balance of maintaining safety and encouraging risk, manage collective transitions and conflicts, and take their own professional risks to intervene appropriately and build self-confidence. As the group winds down, Stockton outlines the termination stage, while Eddie and Kent demonstrate effective ways to facilitate a thorough closure. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions."
