Welcome!
What is Group Dynamics and how does it impact collaborative practice?
Group Dynamics is a systems approach to understanding group interaction. Every group develops its own norms, culture, and shared goals and allegiances. In groups, there are a series of predictable, development stages that coincides with the level of conflict and creative problem solving capacity
Within the group, members take on roles to lend cohesiveness and definition to a group’s identity and purpose.
High conflict may be an indicator of a crisis in stage development, and can be a way of understanding where the couple is in terms of their ability to get to an agreement. It can be used as a diagnostic tool for a variety of issues.
Effective interventions that model good communication and boundaries can help parties progress from self involvement to empathy and creative problem solving.
