Nathan is in a social skills group because he has issues with anger management. He is working with a counselor to develop social skills that will make him less prone to anger. However, Nathan had a bad day during the last session and became enraged over a minor issue, and he had to be removed from the group. How should the facilitator discuss this incident with the group?
Answer
A
The facilitator should not discuss it at all, since it is in the past.
B
The facilitator is incapable of managing the group and should be replaced.
C
The facilitator should ask the group members how they felt about the incident.
D
The facilitator should explain that Nathan has issues, and his behavior is not his fault.
Explanation
The facilitator should give group members a chance to share how the incident affected them and to discuss it respectfully. Asking how they felt supports communication and helps the group process what happened. Ignoring the incident misses an opportunity to address it, while blaming Nathan or excusing his behavior could be unfair and unhelpful.
