Participants will be provided with a conceptual model of understanding the specific developmental tasks associated with each stage in the group's life cycle with emphasis on the therapist's role in facilitating both individual and group-as-a-whole task mastery within a developmental framework. Each participant will be asked to present a clinical vignette from their group work (long or short term group) and explore from a developmental perspective.
