Drs. Chris Schimmel and Ed Jacobs discuss common mistakes in group counseling from an Impact Therapy point of view based on their book, Group Counseling: Strategies and Skills.
"You've got to have the courage to cut members off..." Group members can't monopolize, but some group leaders insult their members by cutting them off or changing the subject on them. I hope they learn the difference between standing up to someone who monopolizes and walking all over their members. I notice that being cut off is a major complaint, i.e., "they're so enthralled with themselves..."
These two remind me of the adage...those that can't - teach. Those that can - lead. Dr. Jacobs indicated that he has been teaching since the 70's...when did he ever have any practical experience.
I don't know about his background, but I can speak for myself, I both teach at the college level and I am also a full-time high school counselor. So, who knows, he might have done that at some point in his life, and as long as he's keeping up with current research I don't see an issue with it.
I've never had a counselling or clinical instructor who wasn't actively practicing as well. At many institutions, it's actually a requirement that they still practice on some level. No different than med schools, where faculty members also see patients and/or research.
So say i suck. I make all the mistakes. What now? IS THE HOLY SPIRIT SUPPOSED TO GUIDE ME EVERYTIME?! I NEVER GOT ONE FUCKING CONCRETE ANSWER AS TO HOW TO CONDUCT A GROUP. EVERYTHING IS VAGUE.

@@erinmcmichael4165 My teachers both teach and counsel clients at the same time. I agree with you.

Typical college professors... get to the point! Post the list in the video or in the description.
