For this paper, we will make up the event as if you attended and AA meeting- follow questions and instructions.
My topic is AA meeting (Alcoholic Anonymous)
The first section of the paper should be a summary of the group. This should include information on purpose, composition, time frame, leadership, and structure. You should write a very brief description (i.e., several sentences) of each member should be provided. The second section should be a summary of the group’s work and progress to this point.
The third section should be a detailed analysis of one recent session of the group. Included here should be:
1.Group members present (including seating arrangements and arrows to indicate communication flow)
2.Member roles. Identify significant roles played by members and the function that is served
3.Communication patterns. Identify important content and process communication in the group. What was the group working on in this session?
4.Group Norms. Identify group norms that were in operation during the session. Are these consistent with or in contradiction to the stated norms of the group?
5.Level of group cohesion/mutual aid apparent in the session.
6.Critique of you/ your co-leaders’ actions. Identify significant actions that you/your co-leader took and comments that you/your co-leader made. What was your rationale? Were these appropriate/inappropriate? Did you pick up on and respond to critical communications? Did you and your co-leaders actions complement or contradict one another? Where do you go from here with this group?
The fourth section of your paper should be an assessment and discussion of how the session you have described differs from or is consistent with the overall way the group has worked so far.
In the fifth section, you should discuss how this group differs from or is consistent with similar groups described in the theoretical and empirical literature. You should cite and discuss three professional sources, one of which should describe original research (if available). You also should identify what changes you would make in this group in light of what you have learned from the literature.
In the sixth section, you should identify and describe an evaluation strategy that could be used to determine the effectiveness of your group. This could include a member satisfaction survey and /or an assessment of individual members’ progress during the group.
