Yet, counselors are capable of making mistakes in a group setting, just as in individual therapy. What is a common mistake some counselors make in group therapy? Choose all that apply.
  1. Lacking a purpose
  2. Losing track of time and not sufficiently closing out the group session
  3. Cutting group members off
  4. Not being willing to cut group members off
Explanation
Answers: A, B, and D - There are many mistakes made on the part of the counselor that can cause a group session to be lose effectiveness.
