Unit III: Family and Group Concepts and Theories

Group Discussion #3
Discussion begins 10-26-06

Discussion related to study questions and terminology for Unit 3.

Review and discuss any difficulties or questions/comments on study questions and terminology from Unit 3. Again, the facilitator should e-mail your discussion summary to me and group members.

During the threaded discussion on 10-26-06 you will be discussing the Wituk (2002) article on factors contributing to the survival of self-help groups. In addition to reading the article, search the web for an example of an online group you might suggest for your current or future clients. Appraise the site for comprehensiveness and make notes regarding strengths and weaknesses you perceive. Other comments?

Discuss the family genogram, ecomap, and attachment diagram that you are doing with the family you are assessing. Discuss what you learned about family theories from doing this and what is the developmental stage of this family.
