Discussion
A visually impaired group member wanted to leave the educational group as she could not follow the discussion based on charts and diagrams.
Which principle of group-work was not followed by the group worker ?
Answer: C
The principle not followed was continuous individualisation.
Among the principles of social group work set out by Harleigh Trecker, continuous individualisation means that the worker keeps recognising each member as a unique person with distinct needs and capacities throughout the life of the group. A visually impaired member cannot follow a discussion built on charts and diagrams; a worker attending to her individually would have adapted the material, for example by describing the charts aloud.
Guided and controlled group interaction concern how the worker steers interaction in the group as a whole, and flexible functional organisation concerns the group's structure. None of these addresses the needs of one particular member, which is the failure here.
