“…These groups are structured to last only a certain amount of time (e.g., 8-12 weeks; Addington, 1992;Beyers, 1988). Although these groups can be helpful, there is some evidence that didactic, structured groups do not provide the intense emotional support that is needed during divorce and the aftermath (Brennan, 1999).…”

This study incorporated ethnographic and phenomenological components to understand the individual and group experience of women who participated in a long-term, flexibly structured group for divorced women. Data included focus groups with both the participants (n = 3) and therapists (n = 4); individual interviews with the woman (n = 6) and therapists (n = 7); and transcripts from 22 different sessions that spanned the life of the group (12 that specifically focused on transitions within the group and 10 that were randomly chosen). Emerging themes centered on the positive experience of the group, the group as a safe place, the collaborative process of the group, and the gender-split of the therapists. Attachment theory, feminist ideology, and collaborative language systems are used to further explore the findings. Based on these results specific clinical implications are addressed that may help clinicians who work with women dealing with divorce.

The four group work categories &veloped by thehsociation for Specialists in GroupWork have been usefil in organizing intenrentions and establishing training standards. The categories are problematic, howeuel; in that the goal and process dimensions of group work are combined within each category. Rigid fusion of goal and process makes it difficult to categorize the many groups that pursue goals from one category through aprocess associated with another: A new model fbr the classification of group work is proposed, which separates goals and process dimensions, forming a matrix that allows for more accurate categorization of group types.
