Assignment Task: Why should every session and group have a closing?
Think about the groups you have participated in...How did the facilitator close out the group?
What was the closing phase of the 12 Angry Men group?
How would the closing phase of a group dealing with bereavement differ from the closing phase of a task group dedicated to organizing a bake sale? Think in terms of numbers of sessions, closing exercises, commitments, member handling separation, etc..
