Answer to Question 1

Discuss both positive and negative group variables in therapy groups. Include specific examples and describe their impact on group dynamics.
Positive variables:
 Installation of hope (assurance that treatment will work)
 Universality (sharing experiences)
 Imparting of information (instruction regarding mental health and coping skills)
 Altruism (working for the common good)
 Corrective recapitulation of the primary family group (reliving and resolving familial conflicts)
 Development of socializing techniques (basic social skills)
 Imitative behavior (modeling positive behaviors of other members)
 Cohesiveness (healthy therapeutic relationships among members and leader)
 Catharsis (experiencing and expressing feelings in group)
 Existential factors (accepting responsibility for one's life)

Negative variables:
 Avoiding conflict (group focuses only on positives by silencing negatives)
 Narcissistic group (group finds cohesion by creating an outside enemy)
 Psychic numbing (members abdicate responsibility for the group, become dependent on leader)

Answer to Question 2

Heterogeneous
