Answer to Question 1

In a counseling or therapy group, the purpose in focusing on a topic, such as anger or guilt, is to help the members explore if, and to what extent, they may have unresolved issues regarding that particular topic. The role of the leader is to explore the topic in sufficient depth to determine how may members may be able to relate to the issue, then to deepen the focus through a technique such as asking a penetrating question, a round, or an exercise. Once the members are warmed-up to the topic, that is, once they have identified how the topic relates to their own unfinished business, the leader will want to shift the focus to an individual to help that person process and deal therapeutically with the issue.
