Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: During the cohesiveness stage, members increase their focus on the task at hand. There is an open exchange of information and the giving and receiving of feedback. It is during this stage that the group leader will ask the group for solutions to problems, giving and receiving feedback. In the orientation stage, members are reluctant to self-disclose until issues of confidentiality are understood. In the conflict phase, communication is more open and authentic, but conflicts that erupt may cause restraint among members to disclose personal feelings. In the termination phase, some regression may occur as members anticipate separation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: Support groups, or self-help groups, are run by the members themselves, who encourage one another to maintain compliance with treatment and continue to develop interpersonal skills. The other types of therapeutic groups are led by experienced and licensed health care providers.
