Theoretical frameworks for group work may include: | Four aspects of a psychosocial approach to group work: Intrapersonal processes - Assumes that group behaviour is primarily influenced by the internal life of the participants. Focuses on personality characteristics and inner conflicts Interpersonal processes - Assumes that group behaviour is primarily influenced by the group member to group member interactions. Focus on quality and type of relationships that exist between the participants, communication patterns, information flow, level of trust/ conflict and relating styles between participants Group level (group-as-a-whole) processes - Assumes that the whole group social system and how individual participants relate to that system primarily influence group behaviour. When an individual acts, he or she is not acting only on his/ her own behalf, but on behalf of the group or parts of the group. The participant's behaviours are seen as a vehicle through which the group expresses its life Intergroup processes - Assumes that group behaviour is primarily understood through the relationships between various groups and sub-groups. Intergroup relations can be based on sex, race, age, cultural identities, roles and ideological differences |
