| Abstract: |
A group’s norms are reflected in the group’s social climate, and social climate dimensions have been associated with treatment outcomes in group therapy. However, novice group therapists are often not clear about which norms to develop in a given group. We describe a procedure in which clinicians specify their ideal social climate for a therapy group or a treatment setting on the Group Environment Scale (Moos, 2002) or the Community-Oriented Program Environment Scale (Moos, 1988) and compare their ideals with various reference groups and with one another. Discrepancies in ideal social climate ratings between co-therapists or among clinical staff can be explored in order to enhance coordinated interventions. This procedure has been used with experienced clinicians, trainees, and graduate students in group therapy courses. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
