How Groups Really Work: Mastering Group Dynamics for the NCE
Manage episode 478671757 series 3623760
In this episode of the NCE Study Guide, we dive deep into one of the most testable and misunderstood areas of the NCE: Group Dynamics.
Learn to recognize and navigate the five stages of group development—forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning—and how they show up in NCE-style scenarios.
We break down real-world examples of group member roles (like the scapegoat and monopolizer), the emotional rhythm of group counseling, and essential terms like universality, cohesion, catharsis, and more.
Featuring practical tips and a 5-question mini quiz, this episode will help you think like a counselor, not just a test-taker.
