Assignment task:
Members of a group often have diverse views on several value-laden issues: religion, spirituality, sexual orientation, abortion, divorce, family struggles, etc. The purpose of the group is to help members clarify their beliefs and examine options that are most congruent with their own values. As the group leader, you may not directly impose your values on the members, but your interventions should be aimed at presenting them with possible courses of action.
Consider the following situation: You are leading a group session in which one of the members discloses to you that she is pregnant and is leaning toward opting for abortion.
Without directly imposing your own beliefs onto the group member, how could you present the woman with several possible solutions? What kinds of issues would you sensitively and tastefully explore with her?
