Group Versus Individual
Counseling
Certain kinds of groups (discussion, education,
task groups) do not require the use of
counseling theory
Copyright © 2012 Brooks/Cole, a division of Cengage Learning, Inc.
Individual counseling theories (REBT, CBT,TA,
Adlerian, Behavioral, Reality Therapy) are
helpful when leading counseling, therapy, and
growth groups

Use of Theories
Copyright © 2012 Brooks/Cole, a division of Cengage Learning, Inc.
People don’t mind being led when they are led
well.
Group counseling should never be boring.
Group counseling should be clear and concrete.
The counselor is primarily responsible for the
group but not ultimately responsible for the
outcome.

Group Counseling in a
Multicultural Context
Jacobs, Masson, Harvill, and Schimmel’s
position is that an active style of leadership
works best for most groups.
Copyright © 2012 Brooks/Cole, a division of Cengage Learning, Inc.
The major leadership debate is centered on how
active, directive, and structured the leader
should be.

Group Leadership Styles
Group-directed - the leader will turn the group
over to the members and have the members
determine the direction and content.
Copyright © 2012 Brooks/Cole, a division of Cengage Learning, Inc.
Leader-directed - the leader has an
understanding of the member’s needs and
structures the group to meet those needs

Intrapersonally oriented leaders focus on the needs and
concerns of the individual members.
Interpersonal

Leadership styles can be viewed on a continuum.
Interpersonally oriented leaders emphasize the “here”,
and the dynamics of the group.

Interpersonal Versus Intrapersonal
Leadership Styles
– Content - the task or purpose of the group
– Process - the interaction between members,
between members and the leader, and how
members participate in the group
Copyright © 2012 Brooks/Cole, a division of Cengage Learning, Inc.
There are both content and process functions
that the leader must address.
