Answer to Question 1

The middle, or working stage is the stage of the group when members focus on the purpose of the group. In this stage, the members learn new material, thoroughly discuss various topics, complete tasks, or engage in personal sharing and therapeutic work. This stage is the core of the group process; it is the period when members benefit from being in the group. During the working stage many dynamics can occur because members are interacting in many different ways. The leader must attend to the interaction patterns and attitudes of the members toward each other and the leader.
