How will you help Lucy and Alejandro resolve their conflict? Do Jennifer, Monty, Barry, and Sung have more to say? Now it’s your turn to decide! Write about 10 minutes of further group dialogue, including yourself as the group leader. Draw upon your knowledge of group therapy leadership techniques, including feedback (as in the scenario), with references to course materials.
