Application of Focal Conflict Theory to Psychoeducational Groups: Implications for Process, Content, and Leadership
Champe, Julia; Rubel, Deborah J.
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v37 n1 p71-90 2012
Group psychoeducation is a common group type used for a range of purposes. The literature presents balancing content and process as a challenge for psychoeducational group leaders. While the significance of group psychoeducation is supported, practitioners are given little direction for addressing process in these groups. Focal Conflict Theory (FCT) is a model for conceptualizing and intervening in group process that has been applied to therapy and work groups. This article presents the challenges of psychoeducational groups, describes FCT, and discusses its application to psychoeducational groups using case examples. Implications for leaders of psychoeducation groups are discussed. (Contains 1 table.)
