Supporting Literature for Proposed Group

Supporting Literature for Proposed Group

The next step for your group proposal is to analyze the current group literature to provide a strong foundation for your planning for the group. We will assume your supervisor has approved your proposed topic and the population for your psychotherapy, counseling, or grief group and is looking for you to carefully study what has already been written about similar groups before you develop any specific plans for the proposed group.

Locate peer-reviewed articles published within the past seven years from professional journals that present a range of group counseling approaches for your topic. Compare the sources based on the strength of the group leadership approach and specific counseling theories presented.

In addition, locate sources that discuss ethical and multicultural issues relevant to group counseling for your selected population. Present a clear analysis of how specific ethical and diversity issues will be relevant to the proposed group citing the relevant ethical standards.
