    Group counseling involves 5 stages: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Setting up a group considers the client's characteristics and needs, program resources, and the nature of the available groups. Advantages of group counseling include encouragement from peers, participation and diversity of opinions, and understanding from relating to others' experiences. Limitations include potential personality clashes, social phobias preventing openness, and loss of trust if confidentiality is broken.

    1. FORMING/dependency
    grp members are unsure of themselves and look to their leaders
    or others for direction.
    This process gives members an opportunity to explore who they
    are in the grp and to begin establishing trust.

    2.STORMING

    Grp leaders model appropriate self-disclosure

    3.NORMING
    members become closer psychologically and are more relaxed.
    Everyone feels included in the grp and productive sharing begins
    to occur

    4.PERFORMING
    Interdependence develops.
    Group members are able to assume a wide variety of
    constructive roles and work on personal issues.
    The level of comfort in the group increases too.

    5.ADJOURNING
    Celebrating the accomplishment of goals
    In another perspective.
