Early in the proces, members formulate general goals they would like to achieve. Examples include state such as "I would like to be less depressed" or "The group should try to reduce the paperwork involved in serving our clients."

If the worker picks up signaling motivation accomplish goals, the worker should check the percepcion of the age with the group . Ambivalent feelings about change are common and should not be obstacle to accomplishing the group's work. It is rare for changes to be worked on without ambivalent feelings, and it is often dificult and pain problematic areas of one's life. At the very last, it requires giving up the old ways of doing things. Rather than ignoring, playing down, or trading Hence, werkers should help members work through it. Acknowledging bivalence is helpful way to get members to recognize their tractions to change din of member's ambivalence about change and the perceived goal helps all members see that this is a common reaction to the change planning to make. In addition, a realistic appraisal of the chances for sa preferred to covering up barriers to task achievement. One exercise that can help uncover ambivalence is to have each member fra goal and list psychological, social, and environmental factors that hinder and promotes achievement. A variation on this exercise done with individual clients has beeld "Force field analysts" (Egan, 2013). In task groups, all members focus on one group In treatment groups, it is more common for members to focus on one memberi but occasionally it is possible to select a common group goal on which to fare exercise can be done by all group members, in pairs, or at home between sensin In a force field analysis, the worker helps members list on paper or a blad positive and negative aspects of attaining a goal and displays the results before ale members. This process facilitates an organized discussion of the factors that can members achieve goals and the factors that may hinder them. Such a visual diplayer members to realize that many factors may be detracting from their motivation An example of a list of positive and negative factors that could influence member's decision is shown in Figure 73. The decision involves whether the end should separate from her husband. An examination of a list of factors can be members decide whether there are sufficient positive motivations for added particular goal. Ia member reaches a decision to pursue a goal despite numerous facunde? duce motivation, the task of the worker and the other group members is to support to decrease the negative factors and increase the positive factors. For example, ution in Figure 73. the member decides to separate from her husband.

Through this process, the group helps the member become mot ited to achieve her goal with a little ambivalence, fear, and anguish as possible. In some groups, workers encounter members who feel pressured or coerced into cutting so the group. Members who feel pressured or coerced often are not ready to en pigs in the work of the group. They may delay or obstruct other members' work In an excellent text on working with resistant group members, Rooney (2009) seg gests that the worker can point out that the members chose to participate in the group Although some individuals may have chosen to participate in the group to svold other Is desirable choices, the choice was an agreement made with a referring agency For temple, in the case of being found guilty of driving while intoxicated, the member sahne agreed to participate in a group treatment program instead of losing his de lice. The worker should acknowledge that the member might not want to be in te poup, but also note that the person freely chose the group over an alternative. The worker should also state that members are free to terminate their participation at any te, but their decision to participate implies that they will adhere to the group norma ad contractual obligations agreed to during the intake interview or the fits group As the group progresses, it may be necessary to remind members that it was their it to participate rather than experience a serious consequence, such as going to jail pokon probation. The group also needs to help reluctant and resistant me bessons to participate. For example, the leader can encourage members to pach other to figure out what is positive and negative about their current style 7:42 PM 59% SSW 208 Chapter 7... .

This type of helps members feel that they have a stake in the group and that their we and resiliencies, helping them to feel that they have the power to grow and considered and acted on. At the same time, the worker can point out members can also be helpful for the worker to use statements and dear demand for work, as the following case example illustrates Case Example Use of Statements I have a problem. Some of you do not seem to want to be here. If you do not want to be here, you do not have to be here.

For example, members of a committee they will be asked to do too much to prepare for group meetings, or they may for the have nothing to contribute. Similarly members of educational groups are often hensive about their ability to learn new material, and members of support group fearful that members will not understand or share their concerns. Because expectation about role performance can interfere with a member's participation in the group helpful for workers to describe their expectations of members and solicit feedback input. Role clarification is a key leadership skill in working with mandated members challenges they face.
