I became curious as to why the anger group "Just the Tip of the Iceberg" that I was facilitating was succeeding. The women are required to complete a 20-hour workshop and write a letter to the Court or to their worker, explaining what they have gained or learned in this process. I was interested to find out how the presentation of material was making the difference. When asked at the very beginning of group about their goals, the most common answer was that they wanted some tools to use to express their anger so that they would not get in trouble. They wanted to know why some people made them really angry and then they "lost it." The women who attended made comments such as "Everyone should take this course," and "I went home and told my partner, and we actually talked." One woman who had come from work told me, "For the first time in a long time, I was not pissed off at my job." Did these remarks mean that the group had some value? These comments and questions brought me to a place of reflection about the group, and I wanted to explore why it seemed to be effective.
